After submitting its conclusive report for the 72.3km RRTS-cum-metro corridor from Ghaziabad to Noida International Airport (NIA), the RRTS rapid rail metro corridor is now expected to be operational by April 2030.

Upon completion of the RRTS rapid rail metro corridor, travel time from Ghaziabad to the Noida airport will be reduced to 37 minutes for fast service and 50 minutes for normal service. Apart from this, the daily commuters will be able to reach Sarai Kale Khan from NIA in 56 minutes and IGI airport in 66 minutes, while the travel time to Meerut will be 72 minutes.

Stations Lists:

The RRTS Rapid Rail Metro corridor will consist of two major sections. The first section will run from Ghaziabad RRTS station to Ecotech VI near Kasna, while the second section will run from Ecotech VI to the ground transport center (GTC) of Noida airport.

In the initial phase, this corridor will have 22 stations, with the possibility of adding 13 more stations later, as per the draft plan.

The first section will cover a distance of 39.4 km and will have a total of seven RRTS stations and 11 metro stations. The second section will span over 32.9 km and will have four RRTS stations, with a provision for adding ten more stations. These ten stations will comprise one RRTS station and nine metro stations.

Route Check for Corridor

Once the corridor is completed, only rapid rail trains will stop at RRTS stations, while other metro trains will make stops at every station along the route. The Uttar Pradesh government needs to approve the corridor before it becomes operational.

The state officials have planned to construct both sections of the corridor concurrently, which is expected to cost Rs 20,043.6 crore and take approximately five years to complete.
