Chhatarpur [1] is an elevated station on the Yellow Line of the Delhi Metro. It is located in the Chhatarpur locality of the South West district of Delhi, India. Shree Adya Katyayani Shakti Peeth, popularly known as the Chhatarpur Temple is located near the station.

The station was to be opened in June 2010, along with the other stations of the completely elevated corridor of the Yellow Line from Qutub MinarHUDA City Centre. However, construction on the station was delayed due to land acquisition issues. To make the station operational before the 2010 Commonwealth Games, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation adopted a special design to construct the Chhatarpur station, using pre-fabricated structures.[2][3][4] The station was finally opened to public on 26 August 2010,[5][6][7] being built in a record time of nine months. Chhatarpur is the only station in the Delhi Metro network to be made completely of steel.[8][9][10]
