Mayur Vihar-I metro station
The Mayur Vihar Phase-1 metro station is an interchange station between the Blue Line and the Pink Line of Delhi Metro.[2][3] It serves the area of Mayur Vihar in East Delhi, and is located within walking distance of Mayur Vihar Pocket-I and Pocket-IV. It is also connected to Mayur Vihar Pocket-II, Trilokpuri and Kalyanpuri by cycle-rickshaws and e-rickshaws. The Pink Line station of MV-1 is the tallest metro station of Delhi Metro with platforms at a height of 22 meters.[4] As of October 2023, it has the fastest growing ridership on the network, with its daily footfall increasing by 163% relative to October 2019.[1]
The station is 140 m (460 ft) long and has been constructed on the narrow Khudi Ram Bose Marg with only 13 m (43 ft) of width,[5] a constraint that led to its designers opting for a single pier - the chandelier style station design - with one pillar branching out into two columns. This was the first time that such a design was used on the Delhi Metro network.[6] The stations of both the lines are connected by a 83 m (272 ft) long footbridge.[6] In addition, the viaduct adjacent to the Pink Line station passes over the Blue Line viaduct and 2 road flyovers at a height of 23 m (75 ft) metres, which is the second highest on the network.[7]
