Sarai Kale Khan Inter-State Bus Terminus
Bus terminal complex in Delhi, Intia

As part of the Sarai Kale Khan multi-model transport hub located on the Inner Ring Road, the Sarai Kale Khan ISBT facilitates the transfer between the Sarai Kale Khan Inter-State Bus Terminal, Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station, Sarai Kale Khan Nizamuddin metro station, Sarai Kale Khan RRTS Interchange for the Delhi NCR's regional semi-highspeed rail, and the Sarai Kale Khan HSR interchange on the Delhi–Kolkata high-speed rail corridor and Delhi–Ahmedabad high-speed rail corridor.
History
1996: Origin
The terminus was built to decongest the overcrowded Maharana Pratap Interstate Bus Terminus located at Kashmiri Gate in North Delhi, which could not bear the burgeoning traffic. The construction of a new ₹80-crore terminus complex began in March 1996, and it was unveiled to the public in January 2005. It was later upgraded to accommodate the growing number of passengers.
Upgrade
In 2026, Dehi announced the Rs881 crore plan to upgrade 36.19 acre Anand Vihar ISBT to additional 557,000 sqm G+1 ISBT mixed use multimodal transport hub, which accommodated 64 bus bays in 2026, will have 100 bays by 2033, 123 by 2043 and 154 by 2053. 10% will be used for the ISBT operations, commercial 35% (retail shops, food courts, budget hotels, etc), 32%, residential, 11% government mass housing, 12% parking and utilities. Developed in the PPP-mode, the concession period for ISBT operations will be 30 years and 90 years for the real estate. ISBT will be upgraded in 24 months, and the real estate development will be over 48 months.
