It is a transfer station between the Red Line on the highest upper level, the Yellow Line on the lowest underground level and Violet Line on underground level.[2] It was named on 25 December 2002.

The Kashmere Gate Metro station services the historic Kashmiri Gate area of Delhi, and is currently the largest metro station within the Delhi metro and the only 3 line interchange metro station in India.[3] The giant station has over 6 floors. It has facilities like restaurants, fast food centres, McDonald's, water vending machines, pay phones, toilet complex, over 30 escalators etc.

Phase III connections

Under the Delhi Metro Phase III plan, the Violet Line is being extended from its current terminus to meet the Yellow and Red Lines at Kashmere Gate station. This will provide an alternative route between Central Secretariat and Kashmere Gate, alleviating crowds on the heavily used Yellow Line. It was inaugurated on 28 May 2017 by Union minister Sh. Venkaiah Naidu .[4]

The following will be the stations between Mandi House and Kashmere Gate :
