The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) has constructed the Najafgarh station of Delhi Metro Grey Line as dumbbell-shaped due to lack of space in the area and to decongest the traffic flow across the roads.
Najafgarh station was initially planned in the regular rectangle shape. However, when the construction work began on-ground, some of the private land could not be acquired for the project.
Due to this, Delhi metro had no other option but to plan the metro station with the land which was available to them. The dumbbell shaped station will be completed in such a way that the station area will shrink by a few metres in the middle.
