The Palam Metro station was opened to public in May 2018 but due to space constraints, a parking facility could not be made available. Realising the need to provide relief to the commuters who could not park their vehicles at this station, the DMRC identified and developed a portion of the station adjacent to Gate No.1 as parking lot.
