About Shastri Park
Shastri Park Metro Station is a unique and critical node in the Delhi Metro network. Unlike most other stations on the Red Line, it is built 'at-grade' (on ground level) and is home to the DMRC's primary maintenance depot for the Red Line trains. The station serves as the gateway to the DMRC IT Park, a modern hub for technology and business process outsourcing (BPO) companies in East Delhi.
The station is surrounded by expansive greenery and the Yamuna River floodplains, providing a refreshing open-air feel. It is a vital link for the thousands of young professionals who work in the IT Park and the nearby DMRC training institute. The station's layout is simple and efficient, reflecting its early-stage design. Since it is located at ground level, the access to platforms is very quick compared to elevated or underground stations. The station also features a large parking area and is well-connected by feeder buses to various parts of North and East Delhi.
