Dear Moderator, still distance between New Delhi to Kalka has not been changed. All the source e.g. indianrail.gov.in, irctc.co.in, indian railway time table and also announcement in the train says its 303 km. why there is further discussion.

The correct rail distance between New Delhi and Kalka is 269 kms, as shown on this site. All the quoted sources, govt. publications, in-train announcements and derivative sources which say 303 kms. are incorrect. Till now, all sites and publications have derived rail distances from the government source, and have taken the same for granted, without any independent verification.
This is the first site that computes rail distances independently, and in almost all cases, the distances quoted here are accurate with at most 0.1% error.
Thanks.

I am not happy with the answers. From which source you have confirmed. If GPS it might be correct or might be wrong.
