1. No that starts at Karol Bagh/Jhandewalan. SPM Marg later becomes Azad Market Road and Banda Bahadur Marg. I don't recall what it was called in the old days.

2. Right. I was feeling too lazy to type it all out.

Prepaid taxi is the easiest way to get there.
You'll probably arrive about an hour after your train has departed.

Take a pre-paid taxi direct to OLD Delhi. You will make it easily. Metro is still being built from the Airport to New Delhi station and will be commissioned in 2010.

Airport to Old Delhi Station

I shall be landing at Delhi at 7.30 p.m. on a friday. Considering a period of 30 minutes for me to come out, I shall be at the prepaid taxi counter by 8 p.m. Can I catch a train at 10.00 p.m. from Old Delhi Station or would it be too close.

If you leave by 8 you can reach Old Delhi by 9.15 PM easily. You will struggle only if flight is delayed.

Hi Friends,

Am planning my itinerary and hence some more queries.. If my train reaches Old Delhi (DLI) at 4.30 a.m. and I take an auto / prepaid taxi, how long will it take to reach the airport. Considering early morning hours, I think it should be faster.

Yes, it will be much faster at that time. What time do you need to be at the airport for checking in?

I need to travel from Delhi to Mumbai, where there are hourly flights. Assume I need to be at the airport by 5.30 a.m. to catch 6.15 a.m flight. In that case, arriving at 4.30 a.m. would do (the actual arrival of train is 4.00 a.m. but am keeping a cushion of half an hour).
