Tilak Bridge Station was constructed in 1924, after existing railway lines were re-aligned as a result of the construction of the new imperial capital. Originally named Hardinge Bridge after Hardinge Avenue, the main road to its south, the station acquired its present name in the l960s after Hardinge Avenue was renamed Tilak Marg.

The Tilak Bridge Railway Station in New Delhi is slated for a significant upgrade as part of the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme.^[3] This initiative, which is part of a broader plan to modernize 554 railway stations across India, is expected to cost approximately Rs 26.1 crore.
