India’s new Delhi-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) is moving closer to full completion, marking a milestone in sustainable urban transport for the National Capital Region (NCR). This is reported by
ANI, a partner of TV BRICS.
Stretching 82 kilometres, the corridor is the first of three priority lines planned under the country’s regional rapid transit initiative. Designed to cut travel time between Delhi and Meerut from more than three hours to just one, the high-speed line is set to redefine daily commuting for millions.
As of August 2025, 55 kilometres of the network are already operational, connecting New Ashok Nagar metro station in Delhi to Meerut South with 11 modern stations. Trains run at speeds of up to 180 km/h and at intervals of just 5 to 10 minutes.
Beyond faster journeys, the project is expected to significantly reduce annual carbon emissions, while encouraging balanced, polycentric development across the NCR.
The Delhi-Meerut line is being delivered under the guidance of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.
According to the source, by integrating advanced technology, efficient design and sustainable practices, the RRTS is positioning itself as one of India’s most transformative transport initiatives, reshaping mobility, reducing congestion and empowering communities across the region.
