The Dhaula Kuan Metro Station is located on the Delhi Airport Express Line of the Delhi Metro. This station is the only elevated one along the Airport Express Line and features check-in facilities.[1] It did not commence operations along with the rest of the line and trains ran through the station without stopping initially. It was opened to the public for the first time on Independence Day, 15 August 2011.

Under the Phase III network, the Durgabai Deshmukh South Campus metro station was built. The distance between the two stations is approximately 500 metres and they are connected using a travelator.
