The DKR Company signed a contact in 1898 with GoI for the construction and working of a 2ft/610mm narrow gauge([[Rail_gauge#Narrow_Gauge|NG]]) line from [[Kalka]] to [[Simla]]. The line was opened to traffic in 1903 and as a result of high capital cost and high maintenance cost the Delhi-Umballa-Kalka Railway Company was by 1904 in severe financial crisis. The Kalka-Simla Railway was purchased by GoI in January 1906. The line was later converted to 2ft 6in/762mm narrow gauge.
