Analysis At the Gandhi museum in Old Birla House, the duke and duchess paid their respects at the memorial marking the location where the statesman was assassinated in 1948.
By BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt
The ceremony at India Gate in New Delhi will be an opportunity to honour a sacrifice that was in the past overlooked in both Britain and India.
The 70,000 Indian soldiers who fought and died for the British during World War One were once viewed in India as part of its difficult colonial history.
In a day devoted to paying tribute, William and Kate will also retrace Mahatma Gandhi's final footsteps before he was murdered.
The country's founding father - who once declared that non-violence was a weapon for the brave - had a vision, which wasn't realised, of an independent, united land.
It was Prince William's relative, Louis Mountbatten - the last viceroy - who oversaw the creation of India and Pakistan.
Prince William, with his wife, will end the day by speaking about his grandmother - a woman soon to turn 90, who's Britain's longest-reigning monarch but who was never Queen Empress of India.
