Delhi to Meerut by Namo Bharat: Sarai Kale Khan, New Ashok Nagar and Anand Vihar
Short answer: You can board Namo Bharat at three Delhi stations: Sarai Kale Khan, New Ashok Nagar and Anand Vihar. A ride to Meerut South costs Rs 160 from Sarai Kale Khan, Rs 150 from New Ashok Nagar and Rs 130 from Anand Vihar in the Standard coach. NCRTC lists about 45 minutes 30 seconds from Sarai Kale Khan to Meerut South for all-stop trains.
Key facts
| Delhi station | To Meerut South | To Modipuram |
|---|---|---|
| Sarai Kale Khan | Rs 160 Standard, Rs 190 Premium | Rs 210 Standard, Rs 250 Premium |
| New Ashok Nagar | Rs 150 Standard, Rs 180 Premium | Rs 200 Standard, Rs 240 Premium |
| Anand Vihar | Rs 130 Standard, Rs 155 Premium | Rs 180 Standard, Rs 215 Premium |
The fares are from NCRTC's matrix. Meerut South and Modipuram are shared stations, so both Namo Bharat and Meerut Metro stop there.
Where should I board in Delhi?
Sarai Kale Khan is the elevated terminal, with 6 platforms. The portal says it is close to Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway station and to the Delhi Metro's Sarai Kale Khan station. It does not name the Delhi Metro line or give a walking time, so allow extra time for the walk.
New Ashok Nagar is elevated. The portal says it serves New Ashok Nagar, Vasundhara Enclave, Mayur Vihar Phase-1 Extension, Chilla and Noida Sector 15 and Film City, with e-rickshaws and autos for the last mile. We found no Delhi Metro link stated for this station. Some trains do not stop here.
Anand Vihar is underground. The portal says it is near the Anand Vihar Delhi Metro station (Blue Line and Pink Line), the Anand Vihar ISBT and the Anand Vihar Railway Station. It is also near Pacific Mall. The walking time is not published.
How do I plan the trip?
- Pick your Delhi station and your Meerut station in the journey planner. It shows the Standard fare, the Premium fare if there is one, and the service you ride.
- Check the first and last train on the timings page. Trains run every day, about every 10 minutes.
- Buy an eQR ticket in the NAMO BHARAT Connect app, a paper QR ticket, or use an NCMC card. NCRTC also lists Delhi Metro (DMRC) tickets as enabled.
- Board towards Modipuram and watch the station board, because some trains skip some stations.
When do I need to change trains?
Only if you go to a Meerut station served by Meerut Metro alone, such as Meerut Central or Daurli. Ride Namo Bharat to a shared station and change there: Meerut South, Shatabdi Nagar, Begumpul or Modipuram. A shared station nearer to your stop saves time. For example, for Meerut Central you can change at Shatabdi Nagar. The fare is still one amount from the matrix, for example Rs 150 from Ghaziabad to Modipuram or Rs 120 from Ghaziabad to Meerut Central.
How long does it take?
For all-stop trains NCRTC lists about 45 minutes 30 seconds to Meerut South and about 64 minutes to Modipuram from Sarai Kale Khan. News reports give 55 to 58 minutes for limited-stop trains from Delhi to Meerut (Outlook Traveller). Times from New Ashok Nagar and Anand Vihar are not published, so treat them as a little shorter.
What should I know before boarding?
Pets and bicycles are not allowed. Strollers are allowed if they do not trouble others, and should be folded on escalators. The coach next to the Premium coach is reserved for women, and children and persons with disability may also use it. New Ashok Nagar and Anand Vihar have EV charging at the gates. For lost items, NCRTC says to claim at its Lost Property Office at Ghaziabad station within 180 days (an older FAQ line says 24 hours at the same station).
What about parking and feeder buses in Delhi?
All three Delhi stations have parking. The Delhi rates listed by NCRTC are free for 10 minutes, then Rs 50 for a car up to 6 hours and Rs 20 for a two-wheeler. New Ashok Nagar has DTC feeder buses D 035, D 039 and D 055, and Anand Vihar has D 035 and D 039. See the rules and facilities page.
