Train summary

Which Delhi station? This Vande Bharat train does not use New Delhi or Old Delhi. It starts and ends at Anand Vihar Terminal (ANVT), a long-distance railway terminal in east Delhi, close to the Uttar Pradesh border. If you search IRCTC from “NDLS” or “DLI” to Dehradun, the Vande Bharat will not appear; search from ANVT. The terminal sits next to Anand Vihar metro station, an interchange on the Delhi Metro Blue Line and Pink Line, which is also linked to the Anand Vihar ISBT bus terminal. Source: Wikipedia, Anand Vihar metro station From central or west Delhi, allow time for the metro ride across the Yamuna before an evening departure.

Haridwar is on the way. Every trip calls at Haridwar Jn (HW): 22457 reaches it at 21:11, 3 h 21 min after leaving Delhi, and 22458 leaves it at 08:09 for Delhi. So this pair is also the Vande Bharat from Delhi to Haridwar.

What kind of train this is

The Delhi to Dehradun Vande Bharat Express is a daytime Chair Car train. There are no berths, only reclining seats: CC has 3+2 seating and EC has wider 2+2 seats. See CC vs EC and the seat guide for layouts and window seats.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off the inaugural run from Dehradun to Delhi by video conferencing on 25 May 2023.

Some details have changed since launch. Reports in May 2023 gave Wednesday as the day off and listed five intermediate stops (Meerut City, Muzaffarnagar, Saharanpur, Roorkee and Haridwar) Source: Zee News. The current timetable has Thursday as the day off and adds a stop at Deoband (DBD). If an older article or a travel app says Wednesday, go by IRCTC for your date.

Delhi to Dehradun Vande Bharat ticket price

Fares are for one adult, General quota, with the meal, checked 12 November 2026. They are IRCTC fares as recorded by erail.in, and we kept a figure only where it agreed with erail’s own calculation from the official fare rules, so confirm on IRCTC before you pay.

Delhi to Haridwar fare: we could not confirm the Anand Vihar to Haridwar Jn fare, or fares from Meerut, Saharanpur or Roorkee. Check your station pair on IRCTC. Shorter trips cost less than the full Anand Vihar–Dehradun fare.

The evening train from Delhi costs ₹165 more in CC and ₹190 more in EC than the morning train from Dehradun, over the same 302 km. We have not confirmed what makes up the gap; IRCTC’s fare breakdown at booking shows the base fare, charges and catering for your train. Choosing No Food lowers the price by the meal charge on either train. See the food guide for what is served.

The fare is built from a base fare (1.4 times Shatabdi in CC and 1.3 times in EC), reservation and superfast charges, GST and the optional meal. Source: PIB There is no dynamic fare, so the price does not rise as seats fill up. Source: PIB, February 2026 See how Vande Bharat ticket prices work or estimate a station pair with the fare calculator.

CC or EC to Dehradun? For a trip under five hours, CC is the usual choice. EC costs ₹825 more on 22457 and ₹800 more on 22458. Check it when CC is waitlisted.

Rishikesh: this Vande Bharat train does not stop at Rishikesh or Yog Nagari Rishikesh; its last two stops are Haridwar Jn and Dehradun. Travellers to Rishikesh get off at one of those and continue by road or another train, which this page does not cover. The pilgrimage trains guide lists the Vande Bharat options for Haridwar and other temple towns.

Can you go and return the same day by Vande Bharat?

• From Dehradun: take 22458, which reaches Anand Vihar Terminal at 11:45, and come back on 22457 at 17:50. That leaves 6 h 5 min in Delhi, on any day except Thursday. From Haridwar the same plan gives you Delhi from 11:45 to 17:50, and you are back at Haridwar at 21:11.
• From Delhi: not possible. 22457 reaches Dehradun at 22:35 and the first train back is 22458 at 07:00 the next morning. A Delhi to Haridwar trip means a night in Haridwar: 22457 arrives at 21:11 and 22458 leaves at 08:09, 10 h 58 min later.

A late arrival eats into the time you have, so leave a buffer. The same-day return planner checks this for any pair of stations.

Booking the Delhi Dehradun Vande Bharat train

For a journey on Monday 11 January 2027, booking opens on Thursday 12 November 2026 at 08:00. Do not pick a Thursday: neither train runs, and IRCTC will not show it.

The booking guide covers IRCTC step by step, including quotas, waiting lists and how to choose a seat.

Refund if you cancel a Delhi Dehradun Vande Bharat ticket

Indian Railways counts the refund bands from the train’s scheduled departure at its first station, so a passenger boarding 22457 at Haridwar still works from the 17:50 departure from Anand Vihar. For a confirmed ticket, per passenger, with 5% GST on the charge, using the 72, 24 and 8-hour bands the Ministry of Railways announced in March 2026 Source: PIB:

• 22457 in CC (₹1,075): cancel more than 72 hours before and you get back about ₹886; 72 to 24 hours before, about ₹793; 24 to 8 hours before, about ₹511; less than 8 hours before, nothing.
• 22457 in EC (₹1,900): more than 72 hours before, about ₹1,648; 72 to 24 hours, about ₹1,401; 24 to 8 hours, about ₹902; less than 8 hours, nothing.

IRCTC’s published refund rules still show the older 48, 12 and 4-hour cut-offs Source: IRCTC, so the IRCTC cancellation screen is final. The Vande Bharat cancellation charges guide explains both sets of bands, and the refund calculator and cancellation deadline tool give your own figure and clock times.

When is the chart prepared for the Delhi Dehradun Vande Bharat?

• 22458 leaves Dehradun at 07:00, so its first chart is prepared by 20:00 the evening before.
