Providing direct connectivity, the Hazrat Nizamuddin Metro station which is coming up on the Majlis Park – Shiv Vihar Pink corridor as part Delhi Metro's Phase 3, will emerge as one of Metro's major transit hubs. People will have direct connectivity with the Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station as well as the Sarai Kale Khan Inter State Bus Terminus through the metro station.

This station will be a major boost from the point of view of connectivity as both the Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway station and the bus terminus do not have any Metro connectivity presently. To have access to the nearest Metro stations, passengers have to travel at least 3 to 4 kilometres away.

An official of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) shared that the metro station will have dedicated entry/exit points for Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway station and the ISBT at Sarai Kale Khan. The station will also be equipped with broad staircases and escalators for the convenience of the passengers.

"The Hazrat Nizamuddin Metro station will also have drop off bays near its three entry/exit points as per the Multi Modal Integration (MMI) plan. Area around the underground station have been beautified with adequate plants," the official said. "Tabletop pedestrian crossings have been provided on the roads in the vicinity for pedestrian movement. The station has also been adorned by 30 artworks which portray the historical heritage of the nearby areas. Thematic impressions and 'jharokhas' have also been used to beautify the station," he added.

Hazrat Nizamuddin is the thirds biggest railway terminus of the national capital after New Delhi and Delhi. Most south bound trains including Rajdhani and super fast trains originate from here. The Sarai Kale Khan ISBT is one of three major bus terminus of Delhi along with Kashmere Gate and Anand Vihar. Buses for various locations in Haryana, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh originate from here.
