New Delhi eSIM
52 India plans · from $4.99
Delhi is the one major capital where getting a local SIM as a tourist is genuinely difficult — passport copies, a local reference, and activation that can take a day or more. A travel eSIM skips all of it and works from the moment you land at Indira Gandhi, which is precisely when you most need a verified taxi.
Landing at Indira Gandhi International (DEL)
The Airport Express metro runs to New Delhi Railway Station in about 20 minutes for a fraction of a taxi fare. If you do take a car, book it in-app from inside the terminal rather than at the kerb — the pre-paid taxi booth is the other safe option.

How “Unlimited” works: Never cut off — each plan gives a set amount of full-speed data, then a slower speed. The exact allowance and speed are shown on every plan.Read more
Unlimited plans never run out and your eSIM is never disconnected, but every one has a fair-use limit: a set amount of full-speed data, after which the speed is reduced. The amounts differ between plans — most give a daily full-speed allowance that refills every 24 hours from when you first activate the eSIM, while Premium plans give a larger allowance for the whole plan instead. Each plan states its own allowance and the speed after it before you buy. At the reduced speed, messaging, maps, email and light browsing still work; video streaming and video calls may not. If you want every gigabyte at full speed, choose a fixed-GB plan.
Which networks you'll be on in New Delhi
Siima eSIMs for India ride Jio and Airtel. Jio has the largest 4G/5G footprint nationally; Airtel is comparable across Delhi NCR and often faster in the centre.
Coverage around New Delhi
Delhi Metro
Full coverage across the network including the underground sections — the Delhi Metro is one of the better-connected systems in Asia. The Airport Express holds signal the whole run.
Old Delhi and Chandni Chowk
Coverage is good but heavily congested at peak times — the crowd density in Chandni Chowk slows throughput noticeably. Maps still work; uploads crawl.
Lutyens' Delhi and the monuments
Strong signal across the government district, India Gate, Humayun's Tomb and Qutub Minar.
Agra and the Taj Mahal
The Yamuna Expressway and the Gatimaan and Shatabdi trains hold signal for most of the run. The Taj complex itself is covered, though phones are restricted inside the mausoleum.
How much data you need
Delhi and a Golden Triangle loop is typically 5–7 GB over ten days — constant maps, ride-hailing and translation. Add more if you are working remotely.
