I hit submit reply too early ...

I meant, if I took a taxi from the New Delhi train station, how long do you think it will take me to get to the airport for domestic flights?

thanks.

From NDLS to DEL ? You mean from New Delhi train station to Old Delhi train station ? Then you are right about a car taking 25 mins. and an auto 40.

The OP is asking for the time taken from NDLS to the Airport !

I took one hr to reach Delhi airport from Delhi railway station - at around 7.30 pm in the night.

I am not sure abt the traffic scene during the rest of the day.

I would allow at least 40/45 minutes from New Delhi Train station to the Domestic Airport by cab. It depends on the time of day, of course, but it's far better to be on the generous side .......

Between 8am & 7pm I very much doubt you could do it in under an hour,,,,,,
Why be so precise, why take the risk, If you're not waiting at the airport your waiting someplace else,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
