Tilak Bridge railway station is a railway station in New Delhi. Its code is TKJ.[1] The station is part of the Delhi Suburban Railway. The station consists of four platforms. Construction of additional 5th and 6th new railway line is happening between Tilak Bridge and New Delhi to enhance capacity of already saturated tracks. With this three additional platforms have been constructed (new platform 6 and 7 would be an island platform) at Tilak Bridge. This will take the total number of platforms to seven.[2]

The Tilak Bridge Railway Station in New Delhi is slated for a significant upgrade as part of the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme.[3] This initiative, which is part of a broader plan to modernize 554 railway stations across India, is expected to cost approximately Rs 26.1 crore. The redevelopment project aims to enhance the station's infrastructure, including the façade, waiting room, and parking facilities, as well as introduce new amenities for passengers.[4]
