Go karting Nehru Place is a search that returns no track, because there is not one. The listings prove it in a roundabout way: one directory answers the query with a skating rink. Nehru Place is a computer market with an office district built on top of it, and the nearest outdoor circuit is 23.7 km west, across the Delhi–Haryana line.
That is the answer to the question. What follows is the part the directories leave out: which circuit, which road, what the drive costs you in time, and what the session costs when you get there.
Go Karting Nehru Place: what the area actually has
The market has the computer towers, the DDA complex, Epicuria at the metro station and a great deal of traffic. What it does not have is an outdoor circuit, and neither does the rest of South Delhi.
The listings that appear for this query are NCR-wide directories. They name a handful of venues across Gurgaon, Noida and Faridabad, quote a starting price, and leave you to work out which one is a reasonable drive from here. That missing step is the whole decision, so here it is done.
The measured drive from Nehru Place
Five circuits, measured by road from the Nehru Place metro station, off-peak.
| Circuit | Length | Distance | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sector 17/18 Link Road | 450 m | 23.7 km | 32 min |
| Sector 59 | 850 m | 28.8 km | 40 min |
| Sector 68 | 1,050 m | 39.1 km | 43 min |
| Dwarka Expressway, Sector 88B | 900 m | 44.6 km | 44 min |
| GT Karnal Road, Bhigan | 950 m | 76.9 km | 61 min |
Only one of the five is inside forty minutes. That is the honest shape of this trip: from Nehru Place you are driving at least 24 km for an outdoor lap. The sixth circuit, Baghpat at 1,250 metres, is private hire only and is not a walk-in option.
Sector 59 is closer. Sector 68 is barely slower.
Two numbers break the usual logic. Sector 59 is 28.8 km away and Sector 68 is 39.1 km, a difference of 10.3 km. In time the gap is three minutes: 40 against 43.
The road explains it. The Sector 59 run averages about 43 km/h because the last third is Mandi Road, a single carriageway past the edge of Mehrauli. The Sector 68 run averages 55 km/h because it spends 13.1 km on the Delhi–Gurugram Expressway and very little of it on a city street.
Which means distance is the wrong way to choose. If you want the longer lap, Sector 68 costs you three extra minutes, not an extra half hour. If you want the shortest drive, it is the 450 metre circuit, and nothing else is close.
Two roads out of South Delhi
The route to each track is not the same road, and it is worth knowing before you leave.
To Link Road, the route runs down the Outer Ring Road, across Aurobindo Marg past IIT, up Anuvrat Marg, then about 7 km on Acharya Shri Tulsi Marg and onto the Mehrauli–Gurgaon Road for the last stretch. The Link Road turn comes before Iffco Chowk.
To Sector 68, it is the Outer Ring Road, Palam Marg, the Munirka and Rao Tula Ram flyovers, then 13.1 km of the Delhi–Gurugram Expressway, and Sohna Road at the end.
So the track decides the road. Choose the lap first and the route follows.
One caution. Those times are off-peak. The Mehrauli–Gurgaon Road has signals at the city end and the expressway has volume. A 32 minute run at eleven in the morning is not a 32 minute run at six in the evening.
What a session costs, and what it buys
Two circuits, both priced from their own cards, 18% GST included.
| Circuit | Weekday, sold in laps | Weekend and holiday, sold in time |
|---|---|---|
| Sector 17/18, 450 m | 16 laps ₹700 · 22 laps ₹800 · 34 laps ₹1,100 | 11 min ₹800 · 18 min ₹1,200 · 35 min ₹2,100 |
| Sector 68, 1,050 m | 10 laps ₹900 · 15 laps ₹1,100 | 12 min ₹1,100 · 15 min ₹1,200 · 30 min ₹2,200 |
The weekday cards are the only ones you can compare directly, because both are sold in laps.
| Session | Track driven | Per lap | Per km of track |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16 laps at Sector 17/18, ₹700 | 7.2 km | ₹43.75 | ₹97 |
| 10 laps at Sector 68, ₹900 | 10.5 km | ₹90 | ₹86 |
Both numbers are true and they point in opposite directions. Per lap, the 450 metre circuit is less than half the price. Per metre of track driven, the 1,050 metre circuit is cheaper. The short track charges you by the lap; the long one charges you by the length of each lap.
For a first visit, the lap count is the number to use. You are buying corners to learn, and a 450 metre lap lets you learn the whole thing inside one session.
Why not just use the arcade next door
The honest alternative for a Nehru Place afternoon is an arcade in a mall. A mall kart ride is built to move a queue: a short burst, tight corners, a scoreboard at the end.
A 450 metre outdoor circuit gives you a lap long enough to learn, room to pass, and a braking point you can miss and correct on the next lap. They are different products rather than different prices for the same thing. If you want fifteen minutes and a coffee, the mall wins. If you want to race, it is the drive.
If nobody wants to drive
Nehru Place is on the Violet Line. Kalkaji Mandir, one stop away, is the interchange with the Magenta Line. Take the Magenta Line to Hauz Khas, change to the Yellow Line and ride it south to Millennium City Centre, the end of the line in Gurgaon. From there the Link Road circuit is 3.5 km and about four minutes by cab.
The metro does most of the 24 km. The cab does the last three.
What to book, by group
- One or two of you on a weekday: 16 laps at Link Road, ₹700 each.
- Six who all want to be out together: the six-kart block at Link Road, ₹6,600 for 18 minutes.
- A dozen: Sector 68’s twelve-kart block, ₹21,000 for thirty minutes.
- Twenty: ₹32,000 at Sector 68 for thirty minutes, ₹1,600 a head.
- A birthday to organise: start on the birthday party page, which covers formats and numbers before you commit to a circuit.
