Chhatarpur and Saket sit close enough that plenty of South Delhi residents move between them daily — for work, for Saket’s malls and hospitals, or simply to reach the wider metro network. Here’s exactly how far apart they are, and the fastest way to make the trip, whether you’re taking the bus, the metro, or driving yourself.
Key Takeaways
- Chhatarpur to Saket runs roughly 6–7 km by road via Mehrauli-Badarpur Road, a 20–30 minute drive depending on traffic.

- DTC buses along Mehrauli-Badarpur Road offer a budget alternative, though journey times run longer than the metro.
Chhatarpur to Saket: Distance & Road Route
The road distance between Chhatarpur and Saket runs roughly 6–7 km, primarily via Mehrauli-Badarpur Road — the same corridor covered in our MB Road pincodes guide. Travel time by road typically runs 20–30 minutes, longer during peak hours given the traffic this stretch regularly sees near Saket G-Block.
By Metro: The Fastest Option
Unlike some South Delhi locality pairs, Chhatarpur and Saket both sit directly on the Yellow Line — just two stops apart, with Qutub Minar station in between. This makes the metro genuinely the fastest option for this specific route:
- Distance: Two stops
- Travel time: Roughly 10–15 minutes
- Fare: Approximately ₹10–20

By DTC Bus
For those who prefer surface transport or want the cheapest option, DTC buses run along Mehrauli-Badarpur Road connecting Chhatarpur to Saket and onward toward Malviya Nagar and Press Enclave Road. Buses typically charge ₹10–15, with journeys running 20–30 minutes depending on traffic — slower than the metro but a reasonable option for short, off-peak hops or when travelling with luggage that makes metro stairs inconvenient.
Why This Route Matters
Chhatarpur has grown rapidly as a farmhouse and semi-rural residential belt at the edge of South Delhi — see our existing piece on whether Chhatarpur is urban or rural for the full picture. Saket, by contrast, is South Delhi district’s administrative headquarters, home to malls, hospitals, and a dense commercial core — covered in our Saket area guide. Many Chhatarpur residents make this trip regularly for shopping, healthcare at Max Saket, or simply to access the broader metro network from Saket or Chhatarpur’s own Yellow Line stations.
