On January 5, 2025, India inaugurated a new section of the RRTS transport system. The corridor ensures fast connectivity between cities, improving accessibility and reducing road congestion.

A New Era of High-Speed Transport in India

The new section, linking Sahibabad and New Ashok Nagar, spans 13 kilometers, with 6 kilometers underground. This enhances passenger convenience significantly.

The total length of the RRTS line has now reached 55 kilometers, with 11 stations along the route. Travel time between terminal points has been reduced to less than 40 minutes, making commutes more efficient.

At New Ashok Nagar station, passengers can transfer to Delhi Metro’s Blue Line, simplifying transportation within the capital. The first section of this line opened in October 2023.

Modern Technologies Enhancing India’s Transport System

The six-car Namo Bharat trains accommodate up to 1,750 passengers and run every 15 minutes. The rolling stock production and implementation of the LTE-based ETCS traffic management system were managed by Alstom.

These innovations ensure the transport system is both efficient and safe. The RRTS project connects Delhi with key cities in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, and Rajasthan, easing road congestion and reducing emissions.

By June 2025, the corridor length will reach 82.3 kilometers, linking Jangpura station in Delhi with Modipuram in Meerut. In Meerut, RRTS trains will integrate with MRTS, creating a unified transportation network.

The RRTS high-speed corridor project is a significant step forward for India. It boosts infrastructure development, enhances mobility, and improves environmental conditions in the region.
