The Red Fort Centre is housed in a 19th-century British barrack and provides visitors a walkthrough of the Red Fort before they go and see the actual fort.
The Red Fort Centre has the following attractions:
- A Museum on the first floor covering 9 main locations of Red Fort
- A 360° immersive show

In December 2022, Dalmia Bharat introduced Matrubhumi - Projection Mapping Show that has 3 daily shows from 6:00 - 6:30, 7:00 - 7:30 and 8:00 - 8:30 pm.
Matrubhumi captures the journey of India over 5,000 years through projection mapping and laser on the magnificent front facade of the Red Fort. It showcases the ancient Harappan civilisation and the Vedic age, dynasties like the Mauryas, Cholas and Guptas and how India has excelled in the field of spirituality, philosophy, mathematics, science and economics. The show will stir the emotions of Indians and make them feel proud about the 'indestructible spirit' of our Matrubhumi and its people.
Dalmia Bharat Limited was selected as a 'Monument Mitra' to adopt and develop tourist amenities at the nation's iconic 17th-century heritage site, Red Fort by the Ministry of Tourism in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture and Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
