History
The station is part of the 23 kilometres (14 mi)-long Meerut Metro segment within the Delhi–Meerut RRTS corridor. Construction works began in 2020 under the supervision of the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC). All major civil works and finishing works, including electrical and platform installations, were completed by January 2026, paving the way for the station's inauguration with the entire RRTS and metro corridors on 22 February 2026.[2][4]
Location
The station is located under the old Delhi road in Bhaisali in the historic centre of Meerut, just northeast of Ashok Stambh–a park honouring the fighters of the 1857 Revolt, south of Meerut bus station, and about 5 km (3.1 mi) east of Meerut Cantonment. Thanks to its strategic location, the metro station provides direct access to major landmarks, transport routes, commercial and residential zones.
Design and structure
The station is designed as an underground structure with a single island platform and two tracks on either side of the platform for metro trains—the only service stopping at this station—and RRTS trains passing through. On top of the platform level is the concourse level–which in turn has the entrance building and a parking area on top of it. This design has optimized land use and reduced construction costs, while also leaving space for future expansion or modifications.

Connectivity
Apart from serving the metro, the station has made multiple transport options accessible for ease of travel, including local modes like autorickshaws, cabs and buses in the adjoining Meerut bus station. These plus points have improved accessibility and have cut down travel time from the city centre to Meerut South, directly to Delhi through the RRTS, to all major cities in Uttar Pradesh and its neighbouring states, like Muzaffarnagar, Saharanpur, Dehradun, Panipat, Haridwar, Rishikesh, Agra and others through buses, and to Modipuram in Meerut's north.

Future
In view of rising in traffic due to growth in population, Meerut's city expansion and heightened demand for Delhi, Bhaisali, along with all 13 stations of the metro, have sufficient spaces to expand into RRTS stations to allow both the metro and RRTS trains to halt for handling passengers. This expansion will make the metro stations aligned with the RRTS services, thus enhancing connectivity between Delhi and Meerut even further in the next 10-20 years.
