Northern Railway has introduced a new access-controlled ‘Drop and Go’ system at the Ajmeri Gate side of New Delhi Railway Station. This move aims to reduce traffic congestion and make vehicle movement smoother during busy hours. The system ensures that vehicles do not block the station entrance for long periods.
ℹ️: Fatehpur Railway Station: Lift facility to be available for passengers soon।
What are the new Drop and Go charges?
The revised rules for pick-up and drop-off charges became effective from December 26, 2025. The charges vary based on the time spent and the type of vehicle used. Payments can be made via FASTag or paper tokens from kiosks.

What happens if a vehicle stays longer than 60 minutes?
Staying inside the station premises for more than 60 minutes is strictly prohibited under the new rules. If a vehicle exceeds this time limit, it will be towed away from the spot. A towing fee of ₹300 will be charged for such violations.
CPRO Himanshu Shekhar Upadhyay stated that these rules will discourage vehicles from staying unnecessarily long. Passengers who are coming to pick up others are advised to use the general or VIP parking areas as pick-ups usually take more than 8 minutes.
