DELHI (Metro Rail News): The forthcoming Regional Rapid Transit system (RRTS) corridor in Delhi is likely to reduce the travel time from different locations in the NCR and other adjacent places like Haryana and Rajasthan to National Capital. Passengers will be able to travel from Ghaziabad to Haryana in just 45-50 minutes through Delhi-Panipat Corridor, and Delhi-Gurgaon- Alwar RRTS corridor will help travellers to commute from Delhi to Neemaran in around 70-75 minutes.
The Central government had approved the Delhi-Panipat RRTS corridor. However, early this month, the government said to Rajya Sabha that the Delhi government did not approve financial aid for the Delhi SNB and Delhi-Panipat corridors. However, they have got the approval of the Haryana and Rajasthan governments.
The Delhi-Panipat corridor, which is 103 km long, will connect Delhi with Sonipat and Panipat in Haryana. It will also link Murthal, Ganaur, Samalkha, and Panipat to Delhi with high-speed rails. There will be 17 stations on this line. Delhi will have six stations ( Sarai Kale Khan, Indraprastha, Kashmiri Gate, Burari, Alipur and Mukarba Chawk ). With the help of this project, people will be able to reach Murthal in about 40-50 minutes and to reach Panipat from Delhi, it will take around 65 minutes.
The Delhi-Gurgaon-Alwar Corridor will be developed in three phases. In phase one, the 107-km-long SNB Urban Complex (Shahjahanpur-Neemarana-Behror) will be constructed, which will link Gurgaon, Manesar, Panchgaon, and Rewari. Commuters will be able to travel to Neemarana from Delhi in just 70-75 minutes.
In the second phase, the SNB- Sonatala line will be extended to Shahjahanpur, Neemrana and Behror. SNB Alwar will be constructed in the third phase. The Delhi-Gurgaon-SNB-Alwar RRTS will also go through Manesar, Bawal and Neemrana, which are industrial areas that would ease the journey and increase the productivity of the people travelling.
