Haqqi Tours provides the ticket in the class you choose and confirms the exact departure, the seat and the cost in the WhatsApp chat before you commit to anything.

- Journey time: about 1 hour 40 minutes

The Gatimaan Express from Hazrat Nizamuddin is the fastest way to the Taj Mahal, about 1 hour 40 minutes, and the Shatabdi and Vande Bharat trains from New Delhi take around two hours. Agra Cantt is about 8 km from the Taj Mahal.
Children, luggage and groups on the Delhi to Agra train
Travelling with children on the train from Delhi to Agra is easy: young children are frequently free or heavily discounted, seats can be booked together, and there is room to move about. Tell us the ages on the form and we apply the right fares. Luggage is not weighed or charged on this route; you bring what you can lift onto the rack. For groups, we book seats in the same coach and ask about group fares, which typically make the Delhi to Agra train the cheapest way to move several people between the two cities.
Things to do in Agra after the train
Agra is the home of the Taj Mahal, the white marble mausoleum on the Yamuna, and of the red sandstone Agra Fort. Start with Itimad-ud-Daulah, Fatehpur Sikri and the Taj Mahal at sunrise, then Agra Fort.
If you want the day in Agra organised - a driver, a guide, timed entry tickets - we do that too. Mention it by WhatsApp.
Best time to take the train from Delhi to Agra
Every season has its case for Agra. On the train, the difference between seasons shows in availability more than comfort: peak-week departures fill first, so we recommend booking early for July, August, Christmas, New Year and Easter journeys between Delhi and Agra.
Train, plane or bus from Delhi to Agra?
Weighing a flight against the train from Delhi to Agra? Add the time to the airport, check-in, security and the trip in from the arrival airport, and the train is usually as fast door to door and far less tiring - about 1 hour 40 minutes on board. The bus is the budget option, worth it for some travellers, slower for all. We book whichever suits you; on this route the train is our first recommendation.
Return train from Agra to Delhi
We book the return leg from Agra to Delhi just as easily, and normally on the same confirmation. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles and choose the cheaper combination for your dates. Let us know the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.
How much does the train from Delhi to Agra cost?
The cost of the train from Delhi to Agra is not one number: it changes with the date, the departure time, the class and how far ahead the ticket is booked. Indian Railways (Gatimaan Express, Vande Bharat, Shatabdi) prices the seats in tiers, so an early booking on a quiet mid-week departure and a last-minute ticket on a Friday evening can be very different fares for the same train. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we verify the live fares for your exact date and send you the real cost through WhatsApp, with the options side by side.
The figure we send covers the ticket, any compulsory seat reservation and our booking service; what you see in the WhatsApp chat is what you pay. If a cheaper departure exists thirty minutes earlier or later, we tell you, because a Delhi to Agra train ticket that costs less at a slightly different time is generally worth it.
Cheapest train ticket from Delhi to Agra: how to pay less
A cheap train ticket from Delhi to Agra is not luck - it is booking the right seat on the right departure. Here is how we find it:
- Avoid the first and last trains of the day, which carry commuters and business passengers at higher fares
- Tell us if your dates are flexible - moving by a day, or by an hour, often halves the fare
- Ask about children's, youth and senior fares - most operators on this route discount them
- Book both directions together - a return or two singles, whichever comes out cheaper on your dates
- Choose a fixed-departure ticket if your plans are certain; flexible tickets cost more
- For families and groups, ask about group fares - four or more travellers often unlock a lower rate
Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest train from Delhi to Agra that day, and how much you would save by moving to the next one.

Timetable of the Delhi to Agra train
Departures on the Delhi to Agra line are spread across the day (several a day; the Gatimaan Express does not run on Fridays), all operated by Indian Railways (Gatimaan Express, Vande Bharat, Shatabdi). Allow about 1 hour 40 minutes on board, and remember that as a direct train there is no connection to miss. Let us know on the form whether you prefer morning, midday or evening and we send the exact times for the date you travel.
If you are connecting to a flight or another train at Agra, tell us: we build in a safe margin and choose a departure that leaves room for a delay.
Is there a direct train from Delhi to Agra?
There is a direct train from Delhi to Agra operated by Indian Railways (Gatimaan Express, Vande Bharat, Shatabdi), and it is the one we book unless you ask for something different. One ticket covers the whole journey; you keep your seat from Hazrat Nizamuddin (Gatimaan) or New Delhi to Agra Cantt; children and luggage stay in one place. It runs several a day; the Gatimaan Express does not run on Fridays.
Departure: Hazrat Nizamuddin (Gatimaan) or New Delhi
The train from Delhi to Agra leaves from Hazrat Nizamuddin (Gatimaan) or New Delhi, in Delhi - delhi is India's capital of Mughal monuments and the road to the Taj Mahal, with the Red Fort, Humayun's tomb and Chandni Chowk. Plan to be at the station about 20 to 30 minutes before departure: enough to find the platform on the boards, pass any ticket gate or security check the station uses, and board without hurrying. Getting there: The Airport Express metro reaches New Delhi Station in about 20 minutes and suits a hotel near a metro stop with a small bag; a hotel elsewhere, a family with luggage, a late-night arrival, or a long-distance destination such as Agra or Jaipur is far easier by private car from the terminal.
- Let us know which hall or level your train leaves from - big stations have more than one
- Arrive 20-30 minutes early; the platform is shown on the boards shortly before departure
- Keep the e-ticket on your phone and the ID used for booking together - some operators check both
- Luggage travels with you: racks at the coach ends and above the seats, no weighing, no fees
Arrival: Agra Cantt
You step off at Agra Cantt, right in the city. Metro, tram or bus and taxis leave from the station forecourt. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet you off the train and take you to the door of your hotel.
Onward journeys from Agra - a connecting train, a ferry or a flight the same day - can be added to the booking; let us know and we time the Delhi to Agra train to fit.
Classes and what it is like on board the Delhi to Agra train
What is the train from Delhi to Agra like inside? Modern coaches with reserved seats, tables for two or four, racks for suitcases, sockets and typically Wi-Fi of varying quality. In Executive Chair Car and AC Chair Car the differences are space and quiet more than anything else. Over about 1 hour 40 minutes the extra comfort of the higher class is worth it for some passengers and not for others; we tell you the cost of both and let you choose.
- Reserved seats with tables, power sockets and luggage racks
- Toilets in every coach; a café or bar coach on most long-distance services
- Wi-Fi on many trains on this route - useful for work, not reliable for streaming
- Quiet coaches and family areas on selected services - just ask when booking
