Anand Vihar metro station, Metro and railway transportation hub in East Delhi, India.
Anand Vihar is an elevated metro station in East Delhi that serves as a major transportation hub combining three transit systems in one complex. The facility includes metro platforms, railway connections, and interstate bus services all located at the same site.
The station opened in 2010 as part of the expansion of Delhi Metro in the eastern part of the city. Since then it has become a key connection point between different transportation modes serving the region.
The station name comes from Sanskrit words meaning 'abode of happiness', reflecting local linguistic traditions. Visitors can notice this cultural identity woven into the way the place is named and organized.
The station operates daily with early morning to late evening service and offers connections to multiple metro lines heading in different directions across the city. When visiting, it helps to follow the signage carefully or ask local commuters which level you need, since the multi-level complex can feel confusing at first.
The station brings together three distinct transit systems - rapid transit, railway, and long-distance buses - under one roof, making it an unusual example of integrated mobility in the city. This combination allows travelers to switch between regional transport options without leaving the complex.
