The Kashmere Gate Metro station services the historic Kashmiri Gate area of Delhi, and is currently the largest metro station within the Delhi metro with area of about 118,400 square feet (11,000 m²)^[4] and the only 3 line interchange metro station in India.^[5] The giant station has over 6 floors. It has facilities like restaurants, fast food centres, McDonald's, Burger King, water vending machines, 3 toilet complexes, over 35 escalators, Ticket vending machines etc.

Under the Delhi Metro Phase III plan, the Violet Line was extended from its current terminus to meet the Yellow and Red Lines at Kashmere Gate station. This provided 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 the then Union minister Sh. Venkaiah Naidu.^[6]
