Lal Qila (also spelled Lal Quila) or Red Fort is an underground metro station on the Netaji Subhash Marg (Netaji Subhash Road) in Chandni Chowk in the Old Delhi area of Delhi, India. It is a part of the Violet Line of the Delhi Metro system and is owned and operated by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation. It serves the iconic Red Fort or Lal Qila nearby, which is the former residence of the Mughal emperors of India and is now a Monument of National Importance.
