Bhootnath Market is the nearest metro to Ekana Stadium, Lucknow in YoMetro’s listed station-distance comparison: about 7.55 km as a station-to-venue proximity estimate. The metro does not stop at the stadium gate, and a checked road route from that station is about 11 km.
For an onward public-transport link, UPMRC lists an electric feeder from Indira Nagar Metro Station via Ekana Stadium and Ahmamau. Here is how to choose a station, compare the road routes and use the map before a match.
Nearest Metro to Ekana Stadium, Lucknow: Which Station?
There are two useful answers. Bhootnath Market has the shortest station-to-venue distance in YoMetro’s Ekana station listing. Indira Nagar is the better-documented transfer when you want to continue on the UPMRC feeder that actually names Ekana Stadium. Both are on the Lucknow Metro Red Line; neither station is at the stadium gate.
| Metro station | Source-listed proximity | Checked road route | Onward option |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bhootnath Market | 7.55 km · YoMetro estimate | About 11 km · OSRM/OSM route | Arrange a road transfer; no stadium-bound feeder listed from this station. |
| Indira Nagar | About 8.4 km · YoMetro estimate | About 10.6 km · OSRM/OSM route | UPMRC electric feeder lists Ekana Stadium as a stop. |
The two distance columns answer different questions: listed proximity is not the length of the road journey. OSRM routes use public OSM road data and station/ground map coordinates, checked on 5 October 2026. Gate assignment and traffic may alter your journey.
View the Ekana route on a map
- Choose your stop. Bhootnath for the nearest listed station, or Indira Nagar for the documented feeder connection.
- Check the last mile. The UPMRC feeder is listed via Ekana, but timetable and pickup must be confirmed for your travel date.
- Follow your ticket. The venue marker is not your assigned gate; follow current organiser directions at the ground.

Indiranagar to Ekana Stadium Distance and Feeder Route
If you mean Indira Nagar Metro Station, the checked OSRM road route to the Ekana map marker is about 10.6 km. YoMetro’s separate station-to-venue proximity figure is about 8.4 km. For another address within the Indira Nagar neighbourhood, the distance will vary.
- Ride the Red Line to Indira Nagar Metro Station.
- Check UPMRC’s current feeder boarding point and service. The published route passes Polytechnic Chauraha, Awadh Bus Stand and Husadiya before Ekana Stadium.
- Leave at the Ekana Stadium feeder stop and continue to the entrance named on your event ticket. The route continues toward Ahmamau, Lulu Mall and Utratia.
The UPMRC announcement gives network-wide feeder fares of ₹15–₹50 and normal hours of 6:00 AM–10:30 PM; it does not confirm the fare for this individual leg, boarding frequency or a special return shuttle for any particular match. Recheck both the metro and feeder before an evening fixture.
Gomti Nagar, Ahmamau and Indira Nagar to Ekana Stadium: Distances
A named starting point is essential: Gomti Nagar is a large area, not a single road-route origin. The table uses Gomti Nagar Railway Station where a specific station is needed.
| Starting point | Approximate road route | Planning note |
|---|---|---|
| Gomti Nagar Railway Station | 9.6 km | From the railway station, not every address in Gomti Nagar. |
| Ahmamau | 3.6 km | Nearby road approach; confirm the ticketed gate. |
| Indira Nagar Metro Station | 10.6 km | Calculated route; use the official Ekana feeder if operating. |
| Bhootnath Market Metro Station | 11 km | Calculated road route; 7.55 km is YoMetro’s different proximity measure. |
| Lucknow Charbagh Railway Station | 14.7 km | Major rail arrival point; continue by road or Red Line then feeder. |
Gomti Nagar, Ahmamau and Charbagh road-route estimates are also explained in PitchVaani’s Ekana How-to-Reach guide; Indira Nagar and Bhootnath are coordinate-based OSRM/OSM routes checked on 5 October. Road access, traffic and the gate chosen can change actual travel.
Choose the connection, not just the shortest number
YoMetro ranks Bhootnath Market first by station-to-venue proximity, but UPMRC’s named Indira Nagar → Ekana feeder is the stronger documented public-transport plan. Decide whether a direct road transfer or a feeder suits your fixture, and never treat an old match shuttle as an automatic service for a new game.
Before You Travel to Ekana by Metro
- Save your ticket’s assigned gate and the ground location, then check the final road transfer.
- Confirm the newest UPMRC feeder operation and return metro timing; regular published hours are not an event-specific guarantee.
- Allow extra time for crowd management, traffic restrictions and boarding queues.
- For stadium parking and spectator entry, use the current India–West Indies match-day guide rather than a past event’s rules.

How These Routes Were Checked
UPMRC’s August 2026 feeder-service notice confirms the Indira Nagar–Ekana connection; YoMetro’s Ekana comparison provides the station-proximity rankings. PitchVaani compared published station and stadium coordinates through OSRM/OSM on 5 October 2026 for road distances, and cross-checked the Gomti Nagar, Ahmamau and Charbagh routes against its existing Ekana transport guide. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors. None of these is a guarantee of match-day traffic, bus frequency or spectator-gate access.
