Mayur Vihar-I metro station
The Mayur Vihar Phase-1 metro station serves as an interchange station between the Blue Line and the Pink Line of Delhi Metro. This station, located in East Delhi, connects the Mayur Vihar area and is within walking distance of Mayur Vihar Pocket-I and Pocket-IV.
The Pink Line's MV-1 station is the tallest metro station in the Delhi Metro network, with its platforms situated at a height of 22 meters. As of October 2023, this station has the fastest-growing ridership on the network, with a 163% increase in daily footfall compared to October 2019.
The station is 140 m (460 ft) long and has been constructed along the narrow Khudi Ram Bose Marg that has a width of 13 m (43 ft). This spatial constraint led to the adoption of a unique chandelier-style design, featuring a single pier that branches into two columns to support the structure. This was the inaugural use of such a design on the Delhi Metro network. The stations of both the lines are connected by a 83 m (272 ft) long footbridge. Additionally, the Pink Line's viaduct crosses above the Blue Line and two road flyovers at a height of 23 m (75 ft), making it the second highest viaduct on the Delhi Metro network.
