 National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB) has developed the ‘Functional Plan on Transport for NCR-2032,’ identifying eight Regional Rapid Transit Systems (RRTS) to improve connectivity and streamline transit across the National Capital Region.

As urban populations grow, the demand for efficient transportation is becoming increasingly urgent.

During the current Parliament session, the Minister of State for Housing & Urban Affairs, Shri Tokhan Sahu, provided valuable insights in the Lok Sabha on the government’s strategic plans to address and transform the transportation needs of the rapidly growing urban population.

On this matter, the National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB) prepared a ‘Functional Plan on Transport for NCR-2032’ which identified eight Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridors to connect various important towns of NCR with semi-high speed rail-based commuter transit systems to improve rail based connectivity in NCR.

Task Force appointed by the erstwhile NITI Ayog had prioritized the following three RRTS corridors for implementation: Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut, Delhi-Gurugram-Alwar, and Delhi-Panipat.

Out of the above three corridors, 82.15 Km of Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor has already been sanctioned by the Central Government in March 2019.
