Little India station in Singapore

Little India MRT station is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) interchange station on the North East (NEL) and Downtown (DTL) lines. The station is located at the junction of Bukit Timah Road and Race Course Road, and serves the ethnic neighbourhood of Little India. Several landmarks surrounding the station include KK Women's and Children's Hospital, Tekka Market, and the Land Transport Authority headquarters.

First announced as Kandang Kerbau MRT station in 1996, the construction required the use of metal decks to maintain traffic flow in the area. Skeletons with gold jewellery were also found during the station's construction. The NEL station opened on 20 June 2003. In March 2007, it was announced that the NEL will interchange with the DTL at this station. The DTL platforms opened on 27 December 2015 as part of Stage 2 of the line.

The station was designed to reflect Indian traditions, especially with the leaf-shaped patterns in the metal grills of the walls and the flowing fabric theme inspired by the Indian sari for the DTL station. Two artworks are featured at this station as part of the Art-in-Transit programme. Memoirs of the Past by S. Chandrasekaran, which is inspired by Indian traditional art, is displayed in the NEL station. Woven Field by Grace Tan features a geometric tessellation of metal plates embedded into the baffle wall above the DTL platforms.
