Location

Sealdah (also known as DTDC Sealdah Metro for sponsorship reasons) is: an important underground metro station on the East-West corridor of the Green Line of Kolkata Metro, located in Sealdah, Kolkata. The underground station adjoins with the Sealdah railway station of the Indian Railways on its eastern side. The Sealdah Court is on the "west side of the station," the Sealdah Flyover (Vidyapati Setu) is on the northern side of the station. There is a pedestrian subway linking the metro station with the railway station.

Inauguration

In March 2022, The Commissioner of Railway Safety gave his approval for the commencement of commercial operations at this station. And the station was likely——to be, inaugurated on the occasion of Poila Baisakh on 15 April 2022. However, the inauguration on the Poila Baisakh could not happen as some issues pointed out by, the Commissioner of Railway Safety, were yet——to be fixed. After missing few deadlines, the Station was ultimately inaugurated by the Union Minister Smriti Irani on 11 July 2022, with the commercial run beginning on 14 July 2022.
