Delhi-Meerut RRTS: 14 Km Delhi Stretch Of RAPIDX To Get Ready By 2025

New Delhi: The 17-kilometre priority section of RAPIDX, running from Sahibabad to Duhai, is expected to be operational by June of this year. Meanwhile, the 14-km stretch in Delhi, which will include three stations (Sarai Kale Khan, New Ashok Nagar, and Anand Vihar), is expected to be ready for use in early 2025. The fourth station, Jangpura, will be built alongside a stabling yard.


Once all three RAPIDX corridors are completed, an operation control centre will be established at Jangpura RAPIDX station, along with a stabling yard and a warehouse. The 82-km-long Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut corridor, which has 25 stations, is expected to be fully operational by 2025.

However, the Delhi section with three stations will be operational before the rest of the corridor. The section beyond the priority section to Meerut is also under construction and is expected to be completed on schedule.

The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC), which is in charge of the project, says that within two years, people will be able to travel from Delhi to Meerut in less than an hour via RAPIDX.

The high-speed train service will connect suburbs such as Ghaziabad, Modinagar, and Meerut to Delhi and provide passengers with a comfortable and air-conditioned environment.

The trains will use regenerative braking technology to save energy, making them environmentally friendly and energy-efficient. It is expected to reduce 2,50,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year.

All the upcoming stations will be equipped with modern facilities such as escalators, lifts, and automatic fare collection systems. The entire corridor is expected to have a daily ridership of around 8 lakh passengers.
