RRTS, NCRTC 

The Rapid Rail Transit System (RRTS) is a comprehensive mass rapid transit network. The construction of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut corridor is currently in progress, with a total expenditure of nearly Rs 30,000 crore. Prime Minister Modi inaugurated the initial phase of the priority corridor, covering 17 kilometres and featuring five stations: Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, Guldhar, Duhai, and Duhai Depot.

On October 20th, Prime Minister Narendra Modi officially launched India’s first RAPIDX train, Namo Bharat, off Sahibabad Station. These trains are engineered to reach a maximum speed of 180 km/h, offering ticket prices ranging from Rs 20 to Rs 50 for standard coaches and Rs 50 to Rs 100 for premium coaches.

The RRTS initiative encompasses semi-high-speed rail corridors connecting Delhi to Meerut in Uttar Pradesh, Alwar in Rajasthan, and Panipat in Haryana.

  1. The low hanging fruit for RRTS is connect Jewar Airport to IGIA via Faridabad (one halt connecting voilet line and Indian Railways at Old Faridabad) and Gurgaon (Rajiv Chowk/City Center or / IFFCO Chowk) and connect to Alwar RRTS though track switch instead of change of trains. This can benefit flyers from Faridabad, Gurgaon and those who need to commute between the two airports in NCR to commute to the respective airports.
    Secondly, a hub station need to be developed, which allows flyers to commute to terminals 1,2 and 3 and later terminals 1,3 and 4 by intra terminal shuttle. preferably from the same platform.
