India is embarking on a major project that will rapidly develop regional transport: the Delhi-Panipat Namo Bharat Corridor. This modern rail corridor will be a major step towards transforming travel, improving efficiency and enabling integrated transport in the region.
Beginning of Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Corridor
The Delhi-Panipat RRTS corridor has gained momentum with the launch of India’s first Namo Bharat corridor, the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut. The Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut line, which will be fully operational this year, is among the eight Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridors as part of the NCR-2032 plan, which aims to boost urban mobility.
Delhi-Panipat Corridor: Rapid Transit for 103 Kilometers
The Delhi-Panipat RRTS corridor will connect important places like Kundli, RGEC, Gannaur and Samalkha covering an area of 103 km. The construction of this corridor is aimed at efficient implementation and timely completion. The authorities will adopt a structured approach to reduce delays and enhance passenger comfort during the project process.
High Speed Travel and Efficiency
The trains of the corridor will operate at remarkable speeds. This system, which has a design speed of 180 km/h, will provide service at an operational speed of 160 km/h. Journeys, which will cover a distance of 103 kilometers at an average speed of 100 km/h, will take approximately 90 minutes. Trains will operate at a high frequency of every 10-15 minutes and will provide passengers with a continuous transportation opportunity.
Main Stops and Easy Access
There will be seventeen major stations along the Delhi-Panipat corridor, including Sarai Kale Khan, Kashmere Gate, Burari Crossing, Alipur and Kundli. These stations will provide seamless connectivity to passengers, making travel across the region easier.
Evolving Transportation and Economic Opportunities
The Delhi-Panipat corridor will provide reliable transportation for daily commuters and ease heavy traffic congestion, enabling faster access to workplaces, educational institutions and healthcare. This high-speed transport network will bring leading educational institutions like Ashoka University, IIT Delhi (Sonipat Campus) and PIET, and major hospitals like AIIMS and Park Hospital closer.
In addition, this corridor will provide easy access to popular entertainment areas such as Murthal, providing more comfortable travel opportunities for residents and tourists.
Sustainable and Smart Transportation Solutions
NCRTC aims to create a modern, reliable and sustainable transport network by integrating cutting-edge technology. This high-speed transit corridor will be a milestone in India’s urban transport development. Reduced travel times, improved convenience and smart urban solutions will play a major role in the future of the region.
