A major stride has been taken toward establishing modern and rapid transportation within the NCR, making commuting significantly easier than ever before. The Gurugram-Faridabad-Noida RRTS corridor to be built at an estimated cost of approximately Rs 15,000 crore has been approved, bringing much-needed relief to lakhs of commuters across the NCR. This project will not only drastically reduce travel time but also significantly alleviate the problem of traffic congestion.
The journey from Gurugram to Noida will now be completed in just 40 minutes. Currently, covering this distance entails a considerable amount of time and the hassle of navigating heavy traffic. Reaching Faridabad will become incredibly easy thanks to this new corridor. While the journey currently takes over an hour on this route, the same distance will now be covered in just 20 minutes.
The ‘Namo Bharat’ trains operating on this corridor will run at speeds of up to 180 kilometers per hour. With trains available at frequent intervals of every 5 to 7 minutes, passengers will no longer have to endure long wait times. This initiative will also help reduce the pressure on roads within Delhi and its surrounding areas.
The Gurugram-Faridabad-Noida RRTS corridor will span a total length of 64 kilometers, with 52 kilometers of the route falling within the state of Haryana. A total of 18 state-of-the-art stations will be built along this entire route, providing passengers with modern amenities and facilities.
This project is poised to do more than just simplify commuting; it will also serve as a catalyst for regional development. Improved connectivity is expected to boost employment, real estate, and business activities as well.
