Kavi Subhash (formerly known as New Garia) is the at-grade southern terminus and interchange metro station of the North-South corridor (Blue Line) and Bypass Corridor (Orange Line) of Kolkata Metro in Kolkata, West Bengal, India. It is named after poet Subhash Mukhopadhyay.[1] This station was opened to public on the auspicious day of Mahalaya in 2010.

This metro station is at ground level and located adjacent to New Garia railway station on the Sealdah - Sonarpur section.[2]

After a lot of hardships and developmental work, the Kavi Subhash-Hemanta Mukhopadhyay section of Kolkata Metro Line 6 was inaugurated on 6 March 2024 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, along with the truncated sections of Taratala-Majerhat under Line 3 and Esplanade-Howrah Maidan under Line 2.[3][4][5][6][7]
