The Mayur Vihar Phase-1 metro station serves as an interchange station between the Blue Line and the Pink Line of Delhi Metro.[1] [2] This station, located in East Delhi, connects the Mayur Vihar area and is within walking distance of Mayur Vihar Pocket-I and Pocket-IV.

The Pink Line's MV-1 station is the tallest metro station in the Delhi Metro network, with its platforms situated at a height of 22 meters.[3] As of October 2023, this station has the fastest-growing ridership on the network, with a 163% increase in daily footfall compared to October 2019.

The station is 140m (460feet) long and has been constructed along the narrow Khudi Ram Bose Marg that has a width of 13m (43feet).[4] This spatial constraint led to the adoption of a unique chandelier-style design, featuring a single pier that branches into two columns to support the structure. This was the inaugural use of such a design on the Delhi Metro network.[5] The stations of both the lines are connected by a 83m (272feet) long footbridge. Additionally, the Pink Line's viaduct crosses above the Blue Line and two road flyovers at a height of 23 m (75 ft), making it the second highest viaduct on the Delhi Metro network.[6]
