Delhi–Alwar RRTS
The Delhi-Alwar corridor is the longest of the NCR’s planned Regional Rapid Transit lines – a 199 km system (a 164 km main line plus a 35 km spur) running south-west from Delhi through Gurugram, Rewari and the Shahjahanpur-Neemrana-Behror (SNB) industrial belt to Alwar in Rajasthan. Built by the NCRTC under the RAPIDX brand, it is approved and moving toward construction, with a priority section around the SNB node.
Designed for 160 km/h running on standard gauge, the line mixes elevated, underground and at-grade sections across 22 main-line and four spur stations, with depots at Dharuhera and Alwar.
Why it matters
Delhi-Alwar is the RRTS corridor most explicitly tied to economic geography – it threads the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor’s northern nodes and the Neemrana-Bhiwadi manufacturing belt. How it is financed and phased will signal whether the RRTS model can double as industrial infrastructure, not just commuter transit, across state lines into Rajasthan.
