Jama Masjid is a station on the Delhi Metro system.[1] The Heritage Line stretch of the Delhi Metro was flagged off by Union Minister M. Venkaiah Naidu and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on 28-May-2017. The corridor will be operational from 28-May-2017, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) announced on 26-May-2017.

An extension of the Violet Line (ITO-Escort Mujeser), this entirely underground section comprises four stations—Kashmere Gate, Dilli Gate, Jama Masjid and Lal Qila.[2]

History[edit]

The ITO-Kashmere Gate line was thrown open for public on Sunday. With its launch, the Metro makes inroads into old Delhi or the ‘Walled City’ with four stations—Delhi Gate, Jama Masjid, Red Fort and Delhi Gate.[3]

In 2024, Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation (UPMRC) has changed the name of Jama Masjid metro station to 'Mankameshwar metro station'.[4]
