Namo Bharat Trials Complete Delhi-Meerut Stretch

The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has commenced trial runs of the Namo Bharat train on the final stretch of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut corridor, reaching Modipuram, the last station in this section.

The train was operated between Shatabdi Nagar and Modipuram, marking the first time the Namo Bharat train traversed the underground section of Meerut, a key step in connecting the city’s central areas with Delhi through high-speed rail, during the trial yesterday.

Trial operations had been limited to the two sections flanking the currently operational segment between New Ashok Nagar and Sarai Kale Khan on one end and Meerut South and Shatabdi Nagar on the other.

The NCRTC has completed the Civil work, including track laying, electrification and signalling work between New Ashok Nagar to Sarai Kale Khan and Meerut South to Modipuram.
