If you’ve ever stepped out of Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station with a suitcase in one hand and your phone in the other, trying to figure out the fastest way to reach Gurgaon without getting stuck in Ring Road traffic, you already know the struggle. Between the ISBT bus stand next door, the railway station, and the newer RRTS hub coming up in the same complex, Sarai Kale Khan-Nizamuddin has quietly become one of Delhi’s busiest transit points. And the good news is, the metro connection from here to Gurgaon is actually pretty smooth once you know where to change trains.
This guide walks you through the entire route step by step, along with the fare, timings, and a few things I wish someone had told me the first time I made this trip.

A quick note before we go further: the station most people know as “Hazrat Nizamuddin Metro Station” was officially renamed Sarai Kale Khan – Nizamuddin back in 2019, though locals and even Google Maps still use both names interchangeably. Either way, it’s the same station right next to the railway station and ISBT.
How to Travel from Hazrat Nizamuddin to Gurgaon by Metro
Step 1: Board the Pink Line at Sarai Kale Khan – Nizamuddin
Head to the Pink Line platform and take a train headed towards Majlis Park (that’s the direction you want, since the line runs in a large loop across the city). From Nizamuddin, you’ll pass through Ashram, Vinobapuri, Lajpat Nagar, and South Extension before reaching the interchange station.
Step 2: Change Lines at Dilli Haat – INA
This is the only interchange on the entire journey, so it’s worth knowing what to expect. Dilli Haat–INA connects the Pink Line and Yellow Line, but the walk between the two platforms takes around 10 minutes since you’re moving through an underground corridor to a different part of the station complex. It’s not complicated, just follow the yellow line signage, but don’t cut it too close if you’re in a hurry.
Step 3: Ride the Yellow Line to HUDA City Centre
Once you’re on the Yellow Line platform, board any train heading towards Millennium City Centre Gurugram. This is the final leg of the journey, and it’s also the longest stretch, running all the way down through south Delhi and into Gurgaon before terminating at HUDA City Centre.

Metro Fare from Hazrat Nizamuddin to Gurgaon
Delhi Metro fares depend on distance, and since this is a fairly long ride at around 29 km, it falls into one of the higher fare slabs.
| Fare type | Amount |
|---|---|
| Token/QR ticket | ₹54 |
| Smart card | ₹49 |
| Off-peak smart card discount | ₹43 |
Using a smart card is almost always the better option on longer routes like this one. Beyond the small discount, it also skips the token queue entirely, which matters more than you’d think during rush hour.
First Train, Last Train and Frequency
The first metro from Nizamuddin heads out around 6:07 AM, and services continue until roughly 11:30 PM, though the exact last-train time can shift slightly depending on the day, so it’s worth a quick check on the DMRC app before you plan a late-night trip. During weekday peak hours, trains run every 6 to 7 minutes on the Pink Line side and every 2.5 to 4 minutes once you’re on the Yellow Line, since it’s one of the busier corridors in the network. Weekends are a little more relaxed, with slightly longer gaps between trains.
What You’ll Pass Along the Way
One thing I genuinely like about this route is how much of Delhi and Gurgaon it stitches together in under an hour.
Near the starting point, Nizamuddin itself sits close to the Nizamuddin Dargah and Humayun’s Tomb, so if you’ve got an extra hour before your train or bus, it’s worth a short detour. A few stops later, Lajpat Nagar and South Extension are two of Delhi’s most popular shopping markets, and INA is home to Dilli Haat, the crafts and food market that’s worth a visit on its own.
Once you’re on the Yellow Line, Hauz Khas brings you close to Hauz Khas Village and the Deer Park, a favourite for cafe-hopping and evening walks. A little further down, Saket is where you’ll find Select Citywalk, one of Delhi’s biggest malls, while Qutab Minar station sits right next to the UNESCO World Heritage site of the same name. By the time you cross into Gurgaon, Guru Dronacharya and Sikandarpur mark the start of the city’s business district, and MG Road brings you to another cluster of malls and markets on the Gurgaon side.
Heading to Cyber Hub or Cyber City? Here’s a Shortcut
If your actual destination is Cyber Hub or Cyber City rather than HUDA City Centre, you don’t need to ride the Yellow Line all the way to the last stop. Get off at Sikandarpur instead and change to the Rapid Metro, which loops directly through Cyber City. It’s a short, elevated ride and it’ll save you a fair bit of walking compared to getting off at HUDA City Centre and doubling back. Your Delhi Metro smart card works on the Rapid Metro too, since DMRC now operates that line as well.
Good to Know Before You Travel
- Budget time for the INA change. The 10-minute interchange walk catches a lot of first-time travellers off guard, especially if they’re timing a trip to catch a train or flight.
- Avoid peak hours if you can. Weekday mornings between 8:30 and 10:30 AM, and evenings between 5:30 and 8:30 PM, get crowded on both the Pink and Yellow Lines.
- Parking is available at both Sarai Kale Khan-Nizamuddin and HUDA City Centre stations, useful if someone’s dropping you off or picking you up.
- Feeder buses run from the Nizamuddin station roughly between 6 AM and 10 PM, handy if you need to reach the railway station or ISBT and don’t want to walk.
- Carry a smart card if you travel this route often. Beyond the fare discount, it genuinely speeds up your entry and exit during busy hours.
What’s Coming Next: A New Gurugram Metro Line
Worth mentioning if you make this trip regularly: Gurugram is getting its own dedicated metro line, being built by Gurugram Metro Rail Limited (GMRL), that will eventually connect HUDA City Centre directly to Cyber City and other parts of the city that the current Yellow Line and Rapid Metro don’t fully cover. As of 2026, the project is still under construction and being rolled out in phases, so it won’t change your route just yet, but it’s one to watch if you commute into Gurgaon regularly.
