Does it work on the Delhi Metro?

It does. Coverage runs through the underground and elevated Metro network, including the Airport Express, so you can message and pull up station maps between stops. Signal naturally dips in the deepest tunnels but returns quickly.

Is this only for Delhi, or the rest of India too?

It's a national India plan, not a city-locked SIM. The same eSIM keeps working across Agra, Jaipur and the whole country, roaming onto networks like Jio, Airtel, Vi and BSNL wherever you travel next.

Good to know in Delhi

Delhi's Airport Express Metro whisks you from Terminal 3 to central New Delhi in around 20 minutes for a fraction of a taxi fare — keep data on to buy your QR ticket through the DMRC Momentum app.

Does an eSIM work in Delhi?

Yes — the India eSIM works in Delhi wherever its partner networks have signal. Delhi enjoys some of India's strongest coverage, with Jio and Airtel 5G blanketing the centre, airport and most metro stations, though signal dips inside deep tunnel sections and can slow in dense Old Delhi lanes.

Your guide to Delhi

Delhi eSIM: your local data guide.

India's capital sprawls from the Mughal grandeur of the Red Fort and Jama Masjid to the Georgian arcades of Connaught Place, and you'll want data for every leg of it. A Delhi eSIM lets you hail a cab from the airport, buy Metro QR tickets on the DMRC app, and pin your guesthouse hidden down a Chandni Chowk gali.

One eSIM for Delhi and all of India. It's the national India eSIM — from £3.45/day with unlimited data, working the same in Delhi as it does the moment you leave it.

Landing at Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL)?

Install the QR at home, then switch the eSIM on as you taxi in — you're online before you reach the arrivals hall.

On the ground

Where you'll lean on data in Delhi.

Connaught Place

Circle the Georgian colonnades comparing cafes and rooftop bars, with maps and reviews keeping you oriented around the confusing radial blocks.

Chandni Chowk (Old Delhi)

Offline maps and live translation are lifesavers in the packed spice-market lanes around Jama Masjid and the Red Fort.

Hauz Khas Village

Data helps you table-hop the boutiques and lakeside restaurants beside the medieval reservoir and tomb ruins.

Qutub Minar & Mehrauli

Ride-hailing gets you out to the 12th-century minaret, and mobile data pulls up the history as you wander the archaeological park.

The practical bit

Getting around Delhi on your eSIM.

Apps you'll want online in Delhi

Uber— Reliable app cabs across Delhi NCR; live tracking and cashless fares need data.
Ola— Home-grown ride-hailing for cabs and autos; book and pay in-app using data.
Rapido— Bike taxis that beat Delhi's gridlock; live booking runs on mobile data.
DMRC Momentum (Delhi Metro)— Official Delhi Metro app for QR tickets and live train timings.

How long to stay in Delhi

Most travellers spend two to three days in Delhi, enough to cover Old Delhi's bazaars, New Delhi's monuments and museums, and use it as a Golden Triangle base.

How much data for Delhi

A balanced 3-5 GB comfortably covers a Delhi city break — maps between sights, ride-hailing, translation and social sharing — while heavy streamers or anyone hotspotting a laptop should size up to Unlimited.

Coverage in Delhi

Delhi enjoys some of India's strongest coverage, with Jio and Airtel 5G blanketing the centre, airport and most metro stations, though signal dips inside deep tunnel sections and can slow in dense Old Delhi lanes.

The short version.

A travel eSIM is data only. It sits next to your home SIM, so your number, texts and WhatsApp carry on as normal. Pick unlimited, priced per day, or a fixed bundle of GB if it's mostly maps and messages. Install it on Wi-Fi before you fly — the days only start once it first connects in Delhi, and it finds a partner network on its own.

Before you fly

Delhi eSIM questions, answered.

Yes. As soon as you land at Terminal 3 and switch on your phone, the eSIM connects to a local network such as Airtel or Jio, so you can order a cab or message home before you even reach baggage claim.
