New Delhi: Good news for the people residing in Delhi-NCR, the preparations are underway to reduce travel time from Delhi to all major NCR cities—as well as Panipat, Karnal, Gurugram, Alwar, Bulandshahr, Hapur, Khurja, and Meerut. According to the reports, the proposals related to new Namo Bharat corridors, the Orbital Rail Network, and high-speed rail (bullet train) projects may receive approval at the NCR Planning Board meeting scheduled for Tuesday. Additionally, heli-taxi services for regional travel could also get the green signal.
Travel between cities such as Gurugram, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, and Sonipat will take 30 minutes.
It is important to note that this high-speed connectivity will be provided through superfast and express mass transit rail.
Jind, Karnal, Hapur, and Bulandshahr will be brought within a one-hour travel network through intercity trains.
The goal is to connect the outer areas of Alwar, Panipat, and Meerut to the Rapid Rail (Namo Bharat Train) network
According to the reports, the meeting of the NCR Planning Board will focus on the Delhi–Panipat–Karnal, Delhi–Alwar, and Delhi–Noida–Ghaziabad Rapid Rail Corridors. Following the Delhi–Meerut Corridor, construction of eight Namo Bharat Corridors, including Delhi–Gurugram–Shahjahanpur–Neemrana–Alwar and Delhi–Panipat–Karnal, will be accelerated.
It is important to note that the meeting will discuss introducing a special mass transit rail system for superfast trains with longer travel distances and fewer stops. The Orbital Rail will connect Delhi directly with the outer NCR townships without any stoppages.
