About Kavi Subhash
Kavi Subhash is named after the poet Subhash Mukhopadhyay (Netaji station, further north, is the one named after Subhas Chandra Bose). It is the southern terminus of the Orange Line and was built as the southern terminus of the Blue Line. Connects to Garia bus terminus — a major surface bus hub.
Blue Line platforms closed: Since 28 July 2025 the Blue Line platforms at Kavi Subhash have been closed to passengers because of structural damage: Blue Line trains terminate at Shahid Khudiram, and the Blue ↔ Orange interchange at Kavi Subhash cannot be used. No reopening date had been announced as of September 2026.
Kavi Subhash, still widely called New Garia, was built as the southern terminus of the Blue Line and since 15 March 2024 has been the junction with the Orange Line as well. It opened on 7 October 2010, is built at grade, and has four platforms including a Spanish solution — the layout that lets a terminating train unload on one side while loading on the other, which is what a terminus with two lines needs. The New Garia suburban railway station is alongside, so metro, local train and the long-distance bus stands all meet here.
