Arriving by train? Chandigarh Junction (CDG) is a practical station for Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium. The stadium is about 15–16 km away by road; plan a taxi or another road transfer after your train.
The stadium is at Tira, near Mullanpur in New Chandigarh—not at the older PCA ground in Mohali. Check your train stop and the stadium gate on your ticket before leaving.
Major intercity arrival: Chandigarh Junction (CDG), about 15–16 km to the ground by road.
Closest station: Not established for every ticketed gate. Check your booked stop and current road approach.
Quick answer: local station or major terminal?
Chandigarh Junction
Station code CDGPractical intercity arrival with a sourced road estimate; not a verified closest station to every gate.
SAS Nagar / Mohali
Station code SASNThe district administration lists SAS Nagar as a station, but does not certify it as closest to the stadium gate.
Kharar / Kurali
Codes KARR / KRLIThese are named operating rail stops, not a claim that either is the shortest stadium approach.
Chandigarh Railway Station to Mullanpur Stadium distance
From Chandigarh Junction, the current route estimate to Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium is about 15.3 km by road; we round it to 15–16 km because entry gates, diversions and drop-off points vary. This is not a promised travel time, fixed taxi fare or walkable shortcut.
A cab or taxi offers a straightforward last leg if you have luggage. Give the driver the full stadium name and the gate on your ticket. PitchVaani’s stadium How to Reach guide has broader road and airport context. This article stays focused on arriving by train.
How to get here by train from Jalandhar
From Jalandhar City (JUC) or Jalandhar Cantt (JRC): search a dated rail itinerary to Chandigarh (CDG) first, then compare a train serving SASN or Kharar if that specific service and its onward road connection suit you. A journey planner presents Jalandhar-to-New-Chandigarh alternatives, but a suggested interchange is not proof that every train stops at your chosen smaller station. Verify the train number, actual halt, platform and fare on the official railway booking channel before travel.
After arrival, arrange a road transfer to Tira/New Chandigarh using the ticketed stadium gate. Do not enter “Mullanpur Railway Station” without checking the district: Mullanpur (MLX) is in the Ludhiana district's Mullanpur Dakha area, not next to this ground.
Start from Jalandhar City or Cantt and confirm the dated service really stops at CDG, SASN or another chosen station.
From the arrival station, use the full Tira stadium name and the gate printed on your ticket.
Mullanpur (MLX) is in Ludhiana district, not next to this New Chandigarh venue.
What if you start in nearby areas?
Mohali/SAS Nagar: check your actual starting location first. If you are already in the district, a direct road journey may be simpler than travelling to Chandigarh Junction solely to approach the stadium. SASN is useful as a rail arrival only when your train stops there. Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium guide
Kharar or Kurali: compare your ticket’s train halt with a current map route to the correct stadium gate. We have not found a robust published road-distance comparison that would justify calling either station the definitive closest.
Chandigarh and Panchkula: you need not detour via a railway station if you are already in the urban area. Choose your road journey or read the separate Sector 43 to Mullanpur bus guide for CTU routes and the final transfer. This railway article does not turn a bus towards Mullanpur into a station-to-gate service.
Three checks before setting off
- Check whether your booked train really halts at CDG, SASN, KARR or KRLI on your travel date.
- Use the correct Tira/New Chandigarh ground and ticketed entrance. Old Mohali PCA Stadium is elsewhere. Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium guide
- Recheck the last road leg and allow time for event restrictions. A normal-day route estimate is not a match-day guarantee.
Choose the route you can verify
A helpful station answer has two parts: where your train can realistically stop, and how you finish the trip to the gate. Chandigarh Junction has a defensible road estimate; the district also lists SAS Nagar. Calling either the closest to every gate without a checked route would give false precision.
