Location

NTPC ECO Park-Badarpur Border is an elevated station on the Violet Line of the Delhi Metro. The station is located close to the interstate border between the city of Faridabad in Haryana and Badarpur in Delhi and sees a large daily ridership owing to this fact. It was the terminal station of the Violet Line till September 5, 2015. It was earlier known as Badarpur, and was renamed in December 2014.^[3]

History

The station was opened on 14 January 2011, as part of the Sarita Vihar—Badarpur section of the line, and situated in Badarpur, Delhi. Initially, Badarpur metro station faced huge crowding problems, as it acted as a terminal for Delhi Metro. With the opening of a 14 km southward stretch between Badarpur in Delhi to Escorts Mujesar Faridabad on September 6, 2015, this station will now see less congestion as it was before.^[4] Some of the Metro Services terminate here.
