India’s second major Bullet Train Route integrates with Jewar
The 813-km long proposed Delhi–Varanasi bullet train corridor will connect Delhi and Varanasi through 13 stations. According to the proposal the train will connect Noida Airport, Mathura, Agra, Lucknow, Prayagraj, and Varanasi.
The proposed Delhi-Varanasi train project is expected to reduce the time between Jewar and Lucknow to 40 minutes and Delhi to Lucknow in two hours. The project was announced by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the Union Budget for 2026-2027.
There was an extension plan of Delhi-Varanasi corridor extending to Siliguri. If it happens it will be a major connecting window of the Northern and Eastern part of the country to the Capital city.
This development will not only boost accessibility and reduce road congestion but also accelerate economic growth, attract investments, and enhance the quality of life for residents across the NCR. By positioning Noida at the forefront of India’s modern mobility revolution, these projects mark a significant leap towards a faster, smarter, and more connected future.
