About VIP Bazar

Serves the VIP Road area on the eastern fringe.

VIP Bazar opened on 25 August 2025 with the Orange Line extension north from Ruby, and is elevated with two side platforms. It serves the Kasba and Anandapur stretch of the EM Bypass, an area of markets, showrooms and recent residential towers. The extension it opened with was inaugurated three days before it carried its first fare-paying passengers, which is why two different opening dates circulate for it.
