About New Delhi
New Delhi Metro Station on the Airport Express Line is the most important gateway between the capital's heart and Indira Gandhi International Airport. Situated beneath New Delhi Railway Station, it is both a Yellow Line stop and the primary boarding point for the Airport Express service that whisks passengers to Terminal 3 in roughly 19 minutes.
The Airport Express concourse is a premium experience distinct from the regular DMRC network - wider platforms, dedicated check-in counters for select airlines, and an in-line baggage drop facility. Travellers can check in their luggage here and proceed to the airport without the chaos of the departure terminal.
The station also connects seamlessly with New Delhi Railway Station above ground, making it the single most important multimodal transit hub in the country for air-rail interchange.
