For anyone who is a layman in terms of Delhi/New Delhi iconography, they will most certainly get confused between Tilak Nagar and Tilak Marg. And can often mix up one location with the next. More so, if he/she is a tourist and new to the city. However, in most cases, incidents like this should be avoided entirely. They should know the difference.

Tilak Nagar (most famously) is one of the most prominent and well-known areas in West Delhi. Tilak Marg, on the other hand, corresponds to areas like Firozeshah Road and Mathura Road. It is located in Central Delhi.

In fact, if you live or work around New Delhi / Central Secretariat / Connaught Place corridors, this zonal office handles your registrations, licences, ownership transfers, taxes, permits, fitness and more.

Looking to go in-depth? Well, as we’ve said before, we’ve got the answers you need.

That’s right. This blog gives you all the factual information: address, phones, hours, directions, services, and tight how to block so you can walk in prepared and walk out faster.

Quick answer: What is DL-02?¶

Let’s keep it simple.

DL-02 is the RTO code for New Delhi (Tilak Marg)

If your vehicle was registered at this office, your number plate begins with DL-02, indicating the registration was processed at Tilak Marg RTO. Public directories list this mapping explicitly. 

What is the Surajmal Vihar / Shahdara RTO (DL-02) Address? What is the Contact Number & Timings?¶

Address Phone Office hours
Deputy Director’s Zonal Office 3, Tilak Marg, New Delhi – 110001 011-23378877, 011-23378886 8:30 AM – 1:00 PM (public counters; confirm local windows before visiting)

The above contact block appears consistently across multiple directories (insurance/RTO lists). Always re-check on the day you go, as window times can vary. 

Where is the RTO Located? Here is how to reach the RTO Location¶

Decided you want to pay a visit? Here are the nearest landmarks and the best approach to reaching the location:

  • Nearest area cues: The Tilak Marg belt sits in the New Delhi/Central corridor; most map apps resolve “DL-02 Tilak Marg RTO” cleanly. 
  • Best approach roads: Use ring-road feeders into the central grid and follow signage toward Tilak Marg; internal one-way rules change mid-day, so allow a small buffer. 
  • Metro: Central Delhi stations shorten last-mile time; a quick auto/cab hop is typical. 
  • Parking: Limited around government buildings—metro + last-mile is often faster. 
  • Pro tip: Call ahead and confirm entrance + counter window—multi-door civic blocks and floor-wise counters can shift footfall.
