Chandigarh to Delhi by Road: Distance, Route and Travel Time

Chandigarh to Delhi at a Glance

The Chandigarh to Delhi route is among one of the busiest route in North India. Many business travelers, families, students, pilgrims and airport bound passengers use it every single day for convenience and affordability.

Here is the quick snapshot before the full guide.

How Far Is Chandigarh from Delhi? Exact Road Distance Explained

The drive across is roughly 250 kilometres but the exact mileage shifts depending on your exact start and finish points.

A pickup from Sector-17 in Chandigarh and drop at Kashmiri Gate in Delhi is about 245 kilometres. But, a drop at Indira Gandhi International Airport adds extra kilometres because the route continues through the city to the airport.

Here are approximate distances for popular drop points.

The straight line aerial distance is shorter near 240 kilometres. Road distance stays close to that figure because National Highway forty four runs almost directly south from the Chandigarh region toward the capital.

Pickups from Mohali Panchkula and Zirakpur add or reduce a few kilometres which a trip planner at CabBazar adjusts automatically at the time of booking.

Chandigarh to Delhi Route: The Main Highway via NH44

The regular route will pass Chandigarh with the road being a part of the Grand Trunk Road up to Ambala, coming under National Highway 44. It is the well known Grand Trunk Road connecting Amritsar to Delhi.

It progresses as follows:

• Drive to Zirakpur, Ambala highway at the boundary of PAU, Chandigarh, and Zirakpur.
• There's a four to six lane section with service lanes between Ambala and Zirakpur with a few petrol pumps and dhabhas.
• After that road, join National highway 44 and go through the speedy farm corridor till Kurukshetra.
• Karnal has a long and well developed stretch with varying elevation close to the town limits and plenty of rest points.
• Panipat highway: Panipat has one of the quickest sections for consistent speed off peak hours. The traffic density increases from Panipat and Sonipat towards the Delhi-Haryana border and towards the Outer Delhi area.

The majority of National Highway 44 from Ambala to Delhi is an access controlled highway consisting of multi lane toll segments. The cab does not have to wait in cash lines at any point because toll booths accept only FASTag.

Alternative Routes from Chandigarh to Delhi

No two drop points in Delhi-NCR require the same roads. A CabBazar driver chooses his route based on the destination and the time.

Route 1: Via Ambala, Karnal and Panipat (NH44)

To reach the district towards central, north and old Delhi, the usual route goes through Ambala, Karnal and Panipat on NH44. The route which is widely used for reaching Kashmiri Gate, Civil Lines, Connaught Place and the airport.

Route 2: Via KMP and Eastern Peripheral Expressway

Another option is the expressway ring around Delhi. You can use the Kundli Manesar Palwal corridor and the Eastern Peripheral Expressway to avoid city centers when heading to Gurugram, Faridabad, Greater Noida or Ghaziabad. This lets you skip central Delhi traffic entirely. The distance goes up just a bit, but the drive stays pretty smooth.

Route 3: Via Yamunanagar, Saharanpur and Meerut

There is also a third path through Yamunanagar, Saharanpur, and Meerut. People heading to the eastern side of the national capital region or driving onward to Uttarakhand take this one. Road conditions change a lot through the year, so checking the route before you start driving is a good idea.

Chandigarh to Delhi Travel Time by Car: What to Expect

Driving from Chandigarh to Delhi by cab typically takes 4 to 5.5 hours. The exact time depends on when you leave, the weather, where you are getting dropped off, and how many stops you make.
