## History

[edit]

Main article: Northern Railway zone history

### 1911: First railway in Delhi

[edit]

Before the proclamation of the new imperial capital at New Delhi in 1911, the Delhi Junction railway station served the entire city; the Agra–Delhi railway line cut through what is today referred to as Lutyens' Delhi. The line ran through plans for a new capital, including space set aside for the All India War Memorial and Kingsway.[3] The railway line was realigned along the Yamuna River and opened in 1924, coinciding with the construction of the Minto Rail Bridge.[3]

### 1926: Origin of New Delhi railway station

[edit]

In 1926, the East Indian Railway Company approved the construction of a single-story building and a single platform between Ajmeri Gate and Paharganj; this would eventually morph into the New Delhi railway station.[3] The government's plans to construct the new station inside the Central Park of Connaught Place was rejected.[4] The Viceroy entered the city through the new railway station during the inauguration of New Delhi in 1931. New structures were added to the railway station later and the original building served as the parcel office for many years.[3][5]

### 1955 onwards: upgrades

[edit]

By 1955, construction of a new station building commenced at a cost of ₹20 lakh (equivalent to ₹22 crore or US$2.6 million in 2023),[6][7][8] and the singular platform station was officially inaugurated on 16 April 1956.[9][10] Heretofore, the Old Delhi railway station served as the primary railway station for the city.[11] The concrete exterior of the building[12] was clad with sandstone for the 1982 Asian Games,[12] then covered with aluminum for the 2010 Commonwealth Games.[12][13]

### 2009 onwards: upgrades

[edit]

In September 2009, the new 3-story 9,000 m2 building of the station facing Ajmeri Gate was opened to the public.[14][15] Later the number of platforms was increased from 12 to 16.[16] Since 1999, route relay interlocking system implemented here,[17] has been recognised by the Guinness World Records as the largest in the world.[18][19][20]

### 2025-2029: upgrades

[edit]

New Delhi railway station has witnessed numerous initiatives over the decades to decongest it.[21][22][23]

The 45 month-long ₹2,469 crore redevelopment project with January 2029 target completion will have new modern eco-friendly energy-saving green solar buildings on both the Paharganj and Ajmeri Gate sides, redevelopment of all 16 platforms, 7 flyovers around the station and 2 tunnels to ease vehicular traffic congestion caused by the cargo, improved integrated AI-based CCTV and security control systems, improved Passenger Amenities (spacious waiting areas, improved signage, and better accessibility with escalators and elevators) and Multimodal Transport Hub (to integrate rail, metro, bus, and other modes of transport, creating a seamless connection for passengers). Upgrade will be unertaken in 4 phases, phase-1 from Paharganj side platform 1 to 6, phase-2 platform 7 to 9, phase-3 platform 10 to 13, phase-4 platform 14 to 16. Initially, phase-1 and 2 will be undertaken simultaneously while existing platsforms for phase-3 and 4 will remain in use. Once the phase 1 and 2 are complete, phase-3 and 4 platforms will be closed for the redevelopment.[24]

## Rail traffic
