Bhikaji Cama Place metro station, metro station in Delhi, India
Bhikaji Cama Place is an underground metro station on the Pink Line of the Delhi Metro, located in south New Delhi. The station has two tracks spread across two levels and uses an island platform layout, with clear signs throughout.
The station opened in August 2018 as part of a Delhi Metro expansion. It was named after Bhikaji Cama, who designed an early version of the Indian flag before the country gained independence.
The station is named after Bhikaji Cama, an Indian freedom fighter who was active in the early 20th century. Inside the station, information boards tell her story, giving passengers a moment to learn about her life as they pass through.
The station sits along Mahatma Gandhi Marg and has several exits connecting to nearby office areas and bus stops. It is fully accessible, with ramps and lifts available for people with limited mobility.
On the island platform, train doors open on different sides depending on the direction of travel: southbound trains open on the right, northbound trains open on the left. This setup surprises many first-time passengers, who expect all doors to open on the same side.
