Delhi–Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System

Owing to burgeoning population, traffic, congestion, pollution, and risk of accidents and mishaps in the National Capital Region, the Planning Commission constituted a task force in 2005 under the chairmanship of the secretary of the Ministry of Urban Development to develop a multi-modal regional transit system for the NCR. This was included in the Integrated Transport Plan for NCR 2032, with special emphasis on a Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) connecting regional centres. In 2013, the Government of India and the Government of Delhi decided to create a comprehensive plan for developing a regional railway that would connect Delhi directly with the adjoining cities and regions of the NCR and beyond. Consequently, the National Capital Region Transport Corporation was established in July 2013 as a joint venture between the Government of India and the governments of the states of Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. The objective of this organisation is to reduce the reliance of commuters on road-based transportation and enhance regional connectivity within the NCR and beyond, and construct, own and operate the Regional Rapid Transit Systems (RRTS). Within Delhi, the RRTS systems will largely run underground, connect to the Delhi Metro and provide commuters with a faster alternative option as a last-mile connectivity avenue to reach their respective destinations. These systems will be similar to other regional transit systems in the world, like London's Crossrail, Paris' RER, and Munich's S-Bahn. Eight corridors traversing the NCR of at least {{cvt|1000|km}} were initially planned to be implemented, which subsequently swelled to nine. Of the nine, four corridors are slated for implementation in the coming years, namely the Delhi–Meerut, Delhi–Alwar, Delhi–Panipat and Ghaziabad–Jewar corridors. The Delhi–Meerut corridor was chosen to be developed first on account of high frequency of travellers and traffic between Delhi and Meerut: the Government of India, the respective state governments, and the NCRTC commissioned feasibility studies and subsequently approved the corridor's construction.{{cite news|title=Delhi-NCR RRTS – Information, Route Maps, Fares, Tenders & Updates|url=https://themetrorailguy.com/delhi-ncr-regional-rapid-transit-system-information-map-updates/|work=The Metro Rail Guy|access-date=24 February 2024|language=en}}

The feasibility study and the detailed project report prepared by the National Capital Region Transport Corporation were approved by the Government of Uttar Pradesh in May 2017. In February 2019, the Government of India approved the project's implementation, and also approved the funding of {{INRConvert|30274|c}}.{{Cite web|url=http://ncrtc.in/uttar-pradesh-government-approves-delhi-meerut-rrts/|title=NCRTC {{!}} Uttar Pradesh Government Approves Delhi-Meerut RRTS|website=ncrtc.in|language=en-US|access-date=11 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170612031652/http://ncrtc.in/uttar-pradesh-government-approves-delhi-meerut-rrts/|archive-date=12 June 2017|url-status=dead}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.businesstoday.in/sectors/infra/govt-approves-rs-30274-cr-delhi-ghaziabad-meerut-regional-rapid-transport-system/story/320397.html|title=Govt approves Rs 30,274 cr Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Regional Rapid Transport System|date=19 February 2019}} On 8 March 2019, the foundation stone for the corridor and the Meerut Metro project were laid: construction for both the projects commenced in June 2019.{{Cite web|last=Shah|first=Narendra|date=8 March 2019|title=Prime Minister has laid the foundation stone of country's first RRTS|url=https://www.metrorailnews.in/prime-minister-has-laid-the-foundation-stone-of-countrys-first-rrts/|access-date=15 October 2020|website=Metro Rail News|language=en-US}} The metro has been tacked along the RRTS route in Meerut to provide local connectivity, covering {{cvt|21|km|1}}.{{Cite web |date=2022-03-16 |title=India's first rapid rail unveiled, promises Delhi to Meerut in 55 minutes |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/delhi/indias-first-rapid-rail-unveiled-promises-delhi-to-meerut-in-55-minutes-7823208/ |access-date=2023-05-09 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}} The NCRTC planned for the {{cvt|17|km|1}}-long priority section between Sahibabad and Duhai Depot to begin regular operations by March 2023.{{Cite web|date=31 July 2019|title=Delhi-Meerut RRTS: Good news! 17-km long Sahibabad-Duhai stretch to be operational by June 2023; details|url=https://www.financialexpress.com/infrastructure/delhi-meerut-rrts-good-news-17-km-long-sahibabad-duhai-stretch-to-be-operational-by-march-2023-details/1662085/|access-date=15 October 2020|website=The Financial Express|language=en-US}} However, due to pending work at certain stations, especially in Ghaziabad, the project faced delays. As a result, it was inaugurated and opened on 20 October 2023. In July 2022, the NCRTC selected Deutsche Bahn, the national railway company of Germany, to operate and maintain the corridor for twelve years with a further five years' option, as part of the contract. Hence, after the inauguration of the corridor, the company formed a subsidiary named DB RRTS Operations India.{{cite news|title=NCRTC signs pact with Deutsche Bank for operation, maintenance of RRTS corridor|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/delhi/2022/Jul/02/ncrtc-signs-pact-with-deutsche-bank-for-operation-maintenance-of-rrts-corridor-2472144.html|work=The Times of India|date=2 July 2022|access-date=18 February 2024|language=en}} The NCRTC christened the provider of the services and trains RapidX and Namo Bharat respectively.{{cite news|last=Alam|first=Majid|title=PM Modi Launches Delhi-Meerut RRTS: How is RAPIDX Different from Metro & Its Unique Features – EXPLAINED|url=https://www.news18.com/explainers/rrts-trains-delhi-meerut-ghaziabad-regional-rapid-transit-system-rapidx-8626419.html|work=News18|date=20 October 2023|access-date=26 February 2024|language=en}}{{cite news|title=India’s first regional rapid train to be named ‘Namo Bharat’, to be inaugurated by PM Modi on Friday|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/delhi/indias-first-regional-rapid-train-to-be-named-namo-bharat-to-be-inaugurated-by-pm-on-friday-8991424/|work=The Indian Express|date=21 January 2023|access-date=18 February 2024|language=en}}

In November 2021, the NCRTC decided to build a station in Jangpura, Delhi, to serve as the terminating station of the corridor. Per the original plan, it was envisioned to establish a stabling yard and operations control centre at Sarai Kale Khan, thence managing the three corridors originating there. However, the Jangpura station was floated to provide connectivity to the RRTS for residents of Jangpura and nearby areas, more so owing to the congestion along Mathura Road. With this addition, the total number of stations on the corridor increased to 16. The station will be at grade and is expected to be completed and opened after the rest of the corridor. The rest of the corridor till Modipuram is expected be operational by June 2025.

Following the Galwan Valley skirmish on 15 June 2020, there were calls by the Swadeshi Jagaran Manch for the government to cancel the bid of a Chinese firm involved in constructing and manufacturing the trains of the RRTS.{{Cite web|last=Arnimesh|first=Shanker|date=15 June 2020|title=RSS affiliate wants Modi govt to cancel Chinese firm's bid for Delhi-Meerut RRTS project|url=https://theprint.in/india/rss-affiliate-wants-modi-govt-to-cancel-chinese-firms-bid-for-delhi-meerut-rrts-project/442119/|access-date=18 June 2020|website=ThePrint|language=en-US}}{{Cite web|last=Shrivastava|first=Rahul|date=16 June 2020|title=Chinese firm bids lowest for Delhi-Meerut project, RSS affiliate asks Modi govt to scrap company's bid|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/chinese-firm-delhi-meerut-project-rss-modi-govt-stec-sjm-1689438-2020-06-16|access-date=18 June 2020|website=India Today|language=en}} Although the Chinese company did not abstain from constructing a tunnel segment of the RRTS, it was determined that the trains would be constructed by another firm. On this account, a fresh bid was conducted by the NCRTC: Bombardier Transportation, a Canadian-German rolling stock manufacturer, won the bid to make the trains for the RRTS and the Meerut Metro. The company will supply 210 coaches consisting of 30 trainsets with six coaches each, which could be extended to eight coaches based on demand. The trains are being manufactured at the company's plant in Savli, Gujarat.{{Cite web|date=4 January 2021|title=Delhi-Meerut RRTS Project: Chinese firm to build stretch of India's first Regional Rapid Rail Transit corridor|url=https://www.financialexpress.com/infrastructure/delhi-meerut-rrts-project-chinese-firm-to-build-stretch-of-indias-first-regional-rapid-rail-transit-corridor/2163925/|access-date=21 January 2021|website=The Financial Express|language=en-US}}{{cite news|title=Bombardier wins contract to supply 210 commuter and intracity cars for the Delhi–Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System|url=https://bombardier.com/en/media/news/bombardier-wins-contract-supply-210-commuter-and-intracity-cars-delhi-meerut-regional|work=Bombardier|date=7 May 2020|access-date=18 February 2024|language=en}}

The corridor will begin at Jangpura and follow its main route from Sarai Kale Khan station, which will serve as the terminal station for all the planned corridors, located in Sarai Kale Khan, Delhi. The corridor will pass through various suburbs of Delhi and Ghaziabad before terminating at Modipuram in Meerut. The Sarai Kale Khan station will be the largest of all the stations, featuring three levels, six platforms, and six tracks to serve the three corridors to Meerut, Panipat and Alwar. Due to its terminal status and location, it will serve as a multi-modal transport hub by facilitating direct connectivity with the adjoining transport systems and facilities in its vicinity—like the Sarai Kale Khan-Nizamuddin metro station of the Delhi Metro, the Sarai Kale Khan Inter-State Bus Terminus, and the Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station—to oversee a smooth and hassle-free movement of commuters. The Anand Vihar station of the corridor will also boast of a similar strategic value owing to its adjacency to the Anand Vihar Terminal railway station, whereas the Ghaziabad station will serve as another hub for interconnectivity with three more proposed corridors–Ghaziabad–Jewar, Ghaziabad–Bulandshahr–Khurja and Ghaziabad–Hapur.

Since January 2025, the {{cvt|55|km|2}}-long New Ashok Nagar–Meerut South section is operational. The section spanning from Sarai Kale Khan to New Ashok Nagar will likely become operational by June 2025.

The National Capital Region Transport Corporation has divided the civil construction work of the RRTS project into eight packages and 30 packages for all stations, ramps, tunnel sections and technical facilities, consisting of 16 stations and two depots. Of the eight packages, two packages in the Meerut section are also part of the Meerut Metro project. The list of all packages, their contractors, and statuses is as follows:{{cite web |url=https://themetrorailguy.com/delhi-meerut-rrts-information-route-maps-fares-tenders-updates/ |title=Delhi-Meerut RRTS RAPIDX |work=The Metro Rail Guy|access-date=18 August 2024}}{{cite news|title=Meerut Metro – Information, Route Map, Fares, Tenders & Updates|url=https://themetrorailguy.com/meerut-metro-information-map-updates/|work=The Metro Rail Guy|access-date=18 August 2024|language=en}}

All stations and trains of the RRTS have facilities and provisions similar to that of an airport. They have several facilities to fulfil the requirements of travellers and on-board passengers to ensure smooth and hassle-free experience, like booking counters, ticket and food vending machines, on-board catering and washrooms, check-in kiosks, baggage checking counters, CCTVs, platform screen doors, washrooms, retiring rooms, restaurants, retail stores, free WiFi, child care facilities, emergency and medical facilities, facilities for physically challenged passengers like wheelchairs, escalators, elevators and connecting facilities to other existing transport modes like Delhi Metro stations in the Delhi section, inter-state bus terminals of the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation at Anand Vihar, Sahibabad and Shaheed Sthal at Ghaziabad, Indian railway stations, Meerut Metro stations in the Meerut section, cabs, auto-rickshaw stands, parking spaces, etc. All services are provided to passengers on-board the trains and travellers in the stations by RapidX.

In November 2023, the National Capital Region Transport Corporation introduced a mobile app called RRTS Connect that allows passengers to book tickets. The NCRTC introduced a "one-tap ticketing" feature through the RRTS Connect app. This provision allows commuters to generate a QR code from anywhere within 300 meters of an RRTS station, without needing to select a destination. It eliminates the need for advanced ticket bookings, offering a more efficient method of accessing tickets. In line with the NCRTC’s efforts to ensure a seamless and hassle-free travel experience, this initiative lets commuters travel with spontaneity and allows flexibility in changing destinations during the journey.{{cite news|title=NCRTC introduces “One-Tap Ticket” booking through “RRTS Connect” Mobile App for the convenience of the commuters|url=https://news.railanalysis.com/ncrtc-introduces-one-tap-ticket-booking-through-rrts-connect-mobile-app-for-the-convenience-of-the-commuters/|work=Rail Analysis India|date=17 November 2023|access-date=7 March 2024|language=en}}

The RRTS corridor will originate from Jangpura—where construction is currently underway—and take its course from Sarai Kale Khan: both stations are located in Delhi. Thereafter, it will run through Ghaziabad—whence three more corridors to Jewar, Hapur, and Khurja have been proposed to connect the nearby towns and cities lying in Uttar Pradesh with the National Capital Region—and terminate at Meerut. The corridor will include 16 stations, with 9 additional stations serving as intermediate stops for the Meerut Metro, where the RapidX services will not stop. However, there will be four stations—Meerut South, Shatabdi Nagar, Begumpul, and Modipuram—where the RRTS and Meerut Metro will be integrated, allowing stops for both services. The corridor currently has 11 stations and one depot functional, with 5 more along the Meerut Metro and another depot under construction.

In September 2020, the National Capital Region Transport Corporation unveiled the design of the RRTS trainset, which is inspired by the Lotus Temple. Designed in Hyderabad, the trains have a design speed of {{cvt|180|km/h}} and an operational speed of {{cvt|160|km/h}}, making them the fastest rapid transit trains in India. Each fully air-conditioned, six-car trainset, which could be extended to eight coaches based on demand, consists of one premium coach and one coach reserved for women, and has a capacity of 1,750 passengers.{{Cite web |date=25 September 2020 |title=India's first RRTS train with design speed of 180 kmph unveiled; to have business class |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/indias-first-rrts-train-with-design-speed-of-180-kmph-unveiled-to-have-business-class/articleshow/78321755.cms |access-date=15 October 2020 |website=The Times of India |language=en}} It is compatible with a host of train protection systems like automatic train protection and automatic train control systems, and also features regenerative braking.

The trains are the first-ever rapid transit trains in India to have an aerodynamic and sleek design and ergonomically designed seats. They have several facilities and amenities to cater the needs of the passengers, such as on-board catering, ticket scanners, food vending machines, information display systems, armrests, window blinds, charging points, fire alarms, washrooms, CCTVs, and dedicated seats for physically-challenged passengers. The trains were named Namo Bharat after the inauguration of the corridor.

The RRTS, after originating from Jangpura, will be connected to the Delhi Metro's Pink Line at Sarai Kale Khan before taking its course towards Meerut. Thereafter, it has an interchange with the Blue Line at New Ashok Nagar, a second connection to the Pink Line and Blue Line at Anand Vihar, and a third interchange with the Red Line at Ghaziabad. Thereafter, the RRTS boasts of three stations in the Meerut section—with interchanges with the Meerut Metro at Shatabdi Nagar, Begumpul and Modipuram—whereafter it will share its trains with that of the Meerut Metro at Modipuram depot. In the metro's first phase, the first line will run parallel to the RRTS tracks on both sides. Four of its 13 stations—Modipuram, Begumpul, Shatabdi Nagar, and Meerut South—will be integrated with the RRTS, allowing seamless connections between the metro and Namo Bharat trains. This will provide commuters with easy travel within Meerut and connections to Delhi, Noida, Ghaziabad, and other parts of the National Capital Region. This makes the metro the first metro in India to run along and directly integrate with a regional transit system.{{Cite web |title=First Look Of Meerut Metro Trains Unveiled As NCRTC Gets Delivery Of Trainsets |url=https://zeenews.india.com/auto/first-look-of-meerut-metro-trains-unveiled-as-ncrtc-gets-delivery-of-trainsetsfirst-look-of-meerut-metro-trains-unveiled-as-ncrtc-gets-delivery-of-trainsets-2722052.html |access-date=2024-02-17 |website=Zee News |language=en}}

The corridors of the RRTS and the Meerut Metro are equipped with ETCS L2 signalling, a signalling system ubiquitous in Europe. Tenders for its procurement were invited in April 2020: Alstom was awarded the contract worth approximately {{INRConvert|937|c}} in January 2021. All operations and trains are controlled by RapidX from its operations control centre at Duhai Depot. After the completion of the second OCC at Jangpura, the corridor will have two OCCs to look after the operations.{{Cite web|url=https://themetrorailguy.com/2020/04/28/ncrtc-invites-bids-for-delhi-meerut-rrts-etcs-signalling-system/|title=NCRTC Invites Bids for Delhi - Meerut RRTS' ETCS Signalling System|date=28 April 2020|website=The Metro Rail Guy|language=en|access-date=19 February 2024}}{{Cite web |date=20 January 2021 |title=Alstom Will Deploy India's First ETCS L3 System, Bags 937 Cr Delhi-Meerut RRTS Signalling Contract |url=https://www.railpost.in/alstom-will-deploy-indias-first-etcs-l3-system-bags-937-cr-delhi-meerut-rrts-signalling-contract/amp/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230503004852/https://www.railpost.in/alstom-will-deploy-indias-first-etcs-l3-system-bags-937-cr-delhi-meerut-rrts-signalling-contract/amp/ |archive-date=3 May 2023 |access-date=19 February 2024|website=RailPost}}

Nokia partnered with Alstom to implement the 4.9G/LTE private wireless network to support the ETCS L2 signalling. This is the first instance globally of an LTE network being integrated with ETCS L2 signalling.{{Cite web |date=4 August 2022 |title=Nokia tests mission-critical voice and data on 4.9G private wireless network for NCRTC |url=https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/nokia-tests-mission-critical-voice-and-data-on-4-9g-private-wireless-network-for-ncrtc/93341322 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230503005619/https://telecom.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/nokia-tests-mission-critical-voice-and-data-on-4-9g-private-wireless-network-for-ncrtc/93341322 |archive-date=3 May 2023 |access-date=19 February 2024|website=ET Telecom}} In July 2024, the ETCS L3 signalling as its hybrid form was commissioned along the corridor, making it the world's first such deployment.

In January 2024, the National Capital Region Transport Corporation drafted a plan to extend the RRTS corridor from its terminating point in Meerut to Haridwar via Muzaffarnagar. NCRTC officials stated that, if the plan is implemented, the travel time from Delhi to Haridwar would be reduced to just 2 hours, compared to the current 3-4 hours by road and 5-6 hours by rail. The officials decided to conduct a physical survey of the proposed section to assess the feasibility and execution of the project. A detailed project report will be prepared to further analyse the practicality of the corridor.{{cite news|last=Bhandari|first=Shashwat|title=Delhi-Meerut rapid rail corridor likely to be extended to Muzaffarnagar, Haridwar, say reports|url=https://www.indiatvnews.com/news/india/rapid-rail-corridor-likely-to-be-extended-to-muzaffarnagar-haridwar-delhi-meerut-rrts-namo-bharat-train-ncrtc-latest-updates-2024-01-26-913865|work=India TV|date=26 January 2024|access-date=27 February 2024|language=en}}{{cite news|title=NCRTC likely to extend Delhi-Meerut RRTS Corridor to Muzaffarnagar and Haridwar|url=https://metrorailtoday.com/news/ncrtc-likely-to-extend-delhi-meerut-rrts-corridor-to-muzaffarnagar-and-haridwar|work=Metro Rail Today|date=27 January 2024|access-date=27 February 2024|language=en}}

During construction, the pace of work on the RRTS has been managed to ensure it remains one of the fastest infrastructure projects in India. Extensive pollution control measures have been implemented at the construction sites, with a dedicated team regularly monitoring their effectiveness and adjusting activities as needed. Construction is taking place within barricaded zones, maintaining cleanliness on-site. Anti-smog guns and water sprinklers are used to control dust, and raw materials and debris are covered with thin sheets at designated areas. Additionally, the NCRTC is repairing and improving the roads beneath the viaduct sections after construction to maintain smooth traffic flow.

The project will install 25,000 solar panels on station and depot rooftops, generating 11 MW of electricity and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 615 tonnes annually, totalling 15,375 tonnes over 25 years. Of the 25,000 panels, 16 stations in the Meerut Metro section will each receive approximately 1,100 panels, while the remaining nine stations will receive around 400 panels. The solar panels are expected to meet 70% of the energy demand. With reduced friction and reliance on rail-based transit, the corridor will consume one-fifth the fossil fuel of road vehicles. Water recycling, rainwater harvesting, and sewage treatment systems are also being implemented to promote conservation. These measures will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by an estimated 250,000 tonnes annually and conserve water.{{cite news|last=Shah|first=Narendra|title=NCRTC completes Jangpura RRTS Station underpass construction work|url=https://www.metrorailnews.in/ncrtc-completes-jangpura-rrts-station-underpass-construction-work/|work=The Times of India|date=18 January 2022|access-date=26 February 2024|language=en}}{{cite news|last=Khandelwal|first=Peeyush|title=25,000 solar panels to be installled on RRTS route to generate power for project|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/noida-news/25000-solar-panels-to-be-installled-on-rrts-route-to-generate-power-for-project-101688842343459.html|work=Hindustan Times|date=9 July 2023|access-date=27 February 2024|language=en}}{{cite news|title=RRTS to cover 70 per cent of total energy requirement via solar power: NCRTC|url=https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/renewable/rrts-to-cover-70-per-cent-of-total-energy-requirement-via-solar-power-ncrtc/98363854|work=ET Energyworld|date=2 March 2023|access-date=27 February 2024|language=en}}
