Delhi Metro Blue Branch Line (Yamuna Bank - Vaishali) – Stations, Route Map & Timings

Delhi Metro Blue Branch Line — the Vaishali Branch of Line 3 — runs 8.23 km from Yamuna Bank in East Delhi to Vaishali in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, with 8 stations. This branch diverges from the main Blue Line (Dwarka–Noida) at Yamuna Bank station, serving East Delhi localities and extending into the Ghaziabad urban area.
