As Per The Release National Capital Regional Transportation Corporation (NCRTC) has signed an agreement with PTC India Limited (Power Trading Corporation), a leading provider of power trading solutions, for the procurement of low-cost power, including green energy, through power exchanges for the RRTS corridor.
The agreement was signed between NCRTC and PTC India in the presence of Shri Shalabh Goel, Managing Director of NCRTC and Shri Manoj Jhawar, CMD of PTC, and other senior officers from both sides.
Shri Shalabh Goel, Managing Director of NCRTC, said, “A capital-intensive project like RRTS needs to be sustainable in the longer term. We are pleased to partner with PTC India in managing our energy needs. NCRTC is committed to finding innovative and sustainable solutions. This agreement marks a significant milestone in our efforts to secure reliable and cost-effective power, including green energy, to reduce the carbon footprint.”
This collaboration will enable NCRTC to meet part of its power requirement sourcing through power exchanges at its Receiving Substations (RSS) located in Ghaziabad, Modipuram, Shatabdi Nagar, and Muradnagar in Uttar Pradesh, as well as Sarai Kale Khan (SKK) in Delhi.
This agreement is part of NCRTC’s broader strategy to adopt innovative methods for ensuring efficient operation of RRTS corridors and NamoBharat trains.

The phased implementation of power trading will begin with the already commissioned section of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut corridor, with plans to expand as full operations are progressively rolled out.
