If you start if statement in past tense then you should finish it only in past tense only. And if you start it in present tense then you should finish it in future tense. So don't confuse it.

Present indefinite - present indefinite.
If I go to delhi, I do travel by metro.
Past indefinite - would+verb 1st form.
