The Delhi-Amritsar High-Speed Rail corridor is a 465 km bullet train line planned by the National High Speed Rail Corporation (NHSRCL) to connect Delhi with Amritsar through Haryana and Punjab, with a spur serving Chandigarh. Designed for 350 km/h running across 13 stations, it would link the capital to Punjab’s major cities and the India-Pakistan border city on a route currently served only by conventional rail.

The corridor is in DPR/planning, with the main line and a Chandigarh spur under design.

Why it matters

Delhi-Amritsar is the HSR corridor into Punjab’s dense, prosperous urban belt, and its Chandigarh spur is a model for how future high-speed lines branch to serve secondary cities off a main trunk. As a border-region project it also carries strategic weight beyond pure transit economics.
