SnapDistance does not publish a road-distance or driving-time figure for Delhi to London. Although the land is physically connected, a continuous drive would cross several international borders and long corridors where an ordinary road journey cannot be assumed, so a straight-line road estimate would not describe a usable route.
The geographic halfway point of the great-circle path between Delhi and London lies at approximately 46.8873°N, 46.2132°E — the position that is an equal 3,349 km from each city along that path. It is a geometric midpoint, not a halfway point by road.
Depending on the date, London (Europe/London) is 4 hours 30 minutes or 5 hours 30 minutes behind Delhi (Asia/Kolkata), because daylight saving changes on different dates in the two zones or applies in only one of them.
