'''Chhatarpur'''<ref>Name used in official signage, see e.g. http://netindian.in/news/2010/08/25/0007599/delhi-metros-chhattarpur-station-become-operational-aug-26</ref> is an elevated [[List of Delhi metro stations|station]] on the [[Yellow Line (Delhi Metro)|Yellow Line]] of the [[Delhi Metro]]. It is located in the Chhatarpur locality of the [[South West Delhi|South West]] [[Districts of Delhi|district]] of [[Delhi]], India. Shree Adya Katyayani Shakti Peeth, popularly known as the [[Chhatarpur Temple]] is located near the station.

The station was to be opened in June 2010, along with the other stations of the completely elevated corridor of the Yellow Line from [[Qutab Minar metro station|Qutub Minar]]–[[HUDA City Centre metro station|HUDA City Centre]]. However, construction on the station was delayed due to land acquisition issues. To make the station operational before the [[2010 Commonwealth Games]], the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation adopted a special design to construct the Chhatarpur station, using pre-fabricated structures.<ref name="Maa5">{{cite web|url=http://www.financialexpress.com/news/DMRC-to-construct-all-steel-station/574166/|title=DMRC to construct all-steel station|publisher=[[The Financial Express (India)|The Financial Express]]|date=2010-02-02|access-date=2010-08-31}}</ref><ref name="Maa6">{{cite web|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/Chhatarpur-station-races-to-steel-finish/574267/1|title=Chhatarpur station races to steel finish|publisher=[[Indian Express]]|date=2010-02-02|access-date=2010-08-31}}</ref><ref name="Maa7">{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/Metros-steely-resolve-at-station-in-Chhatarpur/articleshow/5525765.cms|title=Metro's steely resolve at station in Chhatarpur|work=[[The Times of India]]|date=2010-02-02|access-date=2010-08-31}}</ref> The station was finally opened to public on 26 August 2010,<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.railwaygazette.com/nc/news/single-view/view/delhi-metro-opens-chhatarpur-station.html|title=Delhi metro opens Chhatarpur station|publisher=[[Railway Gazette International]]|date=2010-09-01|access-date=2010-10-05}}</ref><ref name="Maa1">{{cite web|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/Chhatarpur-station-opens/673025|title=Chhatarpur station opens|publisher=Indian Express|date=2010-08-27|access-date=2010-08-31}}</ref><ref name="Maa2">{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/Chattarpur-station-to-open-today/articleshow/6435360.cms|title=Chattarpur station to open today|work=[[The Times of India]]|date=2010-08-26|access-date=2010-08-31}}</ref> being built in a record time of nine months.

==History==
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (DMRC) started to acquire land in Chattarpur area to construct the station since September 2006.<ref name="Maa5"/><ref name="Maa8"/><ref name="Maa4"/> Two hectare plot was required for constructing the main Metro station, an electrical sub station, parking space and other utilities.<ref name="Maa7"/> After having land acquisition problems in acquiring three plots for construction, DMRC decided to skip the station. But the gap between the two stations (Qutub Minar and [[Sultanpur (Delhi Metro)|Sultanpur]]) on either side of Chhatarpur would have been 2.7 km which is too long for a MRTS system. As the station was expected to see a ridership of about 11,723 passengers daily by 2011 in [[Vasant Kunj]] area and the Chhatarpur temple, DMRC decided to construct the station using a special design costing an additional 30 to 50% expense to construct the station within the time frame.<ref name="Maa6"/><ref name="Maa7"/><ref name="Maa2"/><ref name="Maa4"/> The construction work of the station was delayed as the land for the building of the station was acquired by DMRC in October 2009 after prolonged litigation.<ref name="Maa8"/><ref name="Maa4"/> The elevated station was constructed using a unique method using special pre-fabricated/structural steel as the conventional construction technique by concrete would have taken at least 18 to 24 months. The steel structures were fabricated in a factory in Gurgaon. The quality of the construction was then checked through Radiography of the joints and Dye-Penetration Tests (DPT). To ensure quality work, the welding activity was not carried at Chhatarpur and the steel structures had to be joined using bolting arrangements.<ref name="Maa7"/><ref name="Maa8"/>

The Qutub Minar-Huda City Centre corridor of the Yellow Line was made operational in June 2010 with ten stations with no stoppage at the Chhatarpur station.<ref name="Maa11">{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/Gurgaon-Qutub-Minar-Delhi-Metro-corridor-to-open-on-June-21/articleshow/6055376.cms|title=Gurgaon–Qutub Minar Delhi Metro corridor to open on June 21|work=[[The Times of India]]|date=2010-05-16|access-date=2010-08-31}}</ref><ref name="Maa12">{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Delhi/article595873.ece|title=New metro corridor to open in September|work=[[The Hindu]]|date=2010-08-26|access-date=2010-08-31}}</ref> The work on the station was completed by August 2010 and the mandatory clearance was given by R K Kardam, the Commissioner of Metro rail safety (CMRS) on 25 August 2010.
