Narrative:

Departing delhi (vidp); ground control gave us taxi-out instructions from the cargo apron: lima 1; papa to runway 28 holding point. While taxing out; both crewmembers reviewed the electronic flight bag (efb) airport ground chart and noted the CAT 2/3 stop symbol at the end of taxiway papa prior to the left turn for entry onto runway 28. On taxiway papa; approaching the CAT 2/3 hold point designated on our airport ground chart; both crewmembers visually observed the hold point markings painted on the taxiway and agreed the markings were the CAT 2/3 hold point depicted on the airport ground chart. Normally the CAT 1 hold point is beyond the CAT 2/3 hold point. The captain continued taxiing past the CAT 2/3 hold point (as designated on the airport ground chart) and made the 90 degree left turn at end of taxiway papa to hold short of runway 28. During the turn; the crew noted that there was no hold short line between the aircraft and runway. The captain immediately stopped the aircraft halfway through the turn and called ground control for clarification of the hold point. Ground control advised that we had taxied past the hold point and informed the crew that the hold point was behind us on taxiway papa. This was the point designated as the CAT 2/3 holding point on the airport ground chart. Our aircraft was not intruding on the runway when we stopped to ask ground control for clarification. In the legends and tables section of efb; the CAT 2/3 holding symbol includes the definition: 'ILS holding position CAT 2/3; if indicated in aip. Holding mandatory during lvp; or when instructed by ATC.' symbology on the airport ground chart appears to be incorrect or at least misleading at this particular spot. No conflict was caused with any traffic and our flight was soon cleared for takeoff.
