The Dwarka Sector 21 Metro Station is located on the Blue Line of the Delhi Metro. This station was built as an extension together with Dwarka Sector 8 in order to serve Dwarka residents better and provide interchange with the Delhi Airport Express. It was designed by Absolute Architecture. The station was inaugurated on 30 October 2010 after the completion of successful trials and approval from the railway inspector.

Interchange to the Delhi Airport Express are available. Besides serving as a transport hub for the Delhi Metro, two floors of the station will be used for commercial purposes. It will also be the first Delhi Metro station to feature hotel rooms within the complex. As of August 2014 it had the largest rooftop solar plant in the city.
