New Delhi railway station, Central railway station in New Delhi, India.
New Delhi railway station is a railway station in New Delhi, India, that spans 16 platforms and handles more than 420 trains each day. The facility connects large and small cities across the country and serves both passenger and freight transport.
Work on the first platform between Ajmeri Gate and Paharganj began in 1926 and laid the foundation for this transport hub in the capital. Over the decades, the facility was expanded several times to meet growing demand.
The station sits at the heart of the capital and connects travelers from every region of the country who arrive or depart from here. Many people use the surrounding streets and markets to stock up on food and goods before or after their journey.
Travelers reach the station through two main entrances: the Paharganj side at platform 1 and the Ajmeri Gate side at platform 16. Those carrying heavy luggage should choose the entrance closer to their platform to avoid long walks.
Since 1999, the largest route relay interlocking system in the world operates here, coordinating train movements across multiple tracks. This technical installation makes it possible to manage dense rail traffic without major delays.
