The Airport Express Line

DMRC describes the airport station as linking “the IGI Terminal 3 & 2”. For Terminal 1 (domestic flights), take the Magenta Line to Terminal 1-IGI Airport; DMRC also notes that Delhi Aerocity is close to Terminal 1.

Departure times from this station on a weekday, as DMRC’s journey planner gives them (checked on Tuesday 20 October 2026; the planner takes no date). DMRC does not publish separate Saturday, Sunday or holiday times for each station, and on special days it announces changes in advance. A last train after midnight belongs to the previous evening’s service. “Not published” means DMRC’s own answer was inconsistent (arrival before departure), so we leave it out.
