High speed rapid train ‘Namo Bharat’ is different and unique.
Let us tell you that Namo Bharat trains are part of India’s future regional rapid transit system, which provides modern, high-speed connectivity. Equipped with advanced features like smart ticketing, comfortable seating and enhanced safety systems, these trains aim to provide a seamless travel experience while reducing traffic congestion and pollution in urban areas.
The train will run on the 82 kilometer route between Delhi and Meerut.
The entire corridor of the Rs 30,274 crore project will be 82 km long and will stretch from Delhi’s Sarai Kale Khan station to Meerut’s Modipuram. It takes one and a half hour in Mail Express train and two hours in local train between Meerut and Delhi, but RRTS will take only 55-60 minutes. This entire project is expected to be completed in June 2025. Let us tell you that the foundation stone of this project was laid by PM Modi on March 8, 2019.
The first section was inaugurated on October 20, 2023.
The first 17-km priority section of RRTS between Sahibabad and Duhai depot was inaugurated by Modi on October 20, 2023.
