RapidX news: The 17 Km priority section on the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor is set to be launched on October 20, PTI reported. NCRTC officials said Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate the section on Friday. The priority section is Sahibabad to Duhai Depot which includes 4 elevated stations -- Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, Guldhar, and Duhai Depot.
Once completed, India's first Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) will connect Delhi, Ghaziabad, and Meerut. It is one of the three rapid rail corridors planned under Phase I of the RapidX project managed by NCRTC.
With an operational speed of 160 kmph, the distance between Delhi and Meerut will be covered in less than 60 minutes. The average speed of RAPIDX trains will be 100 kmph. The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has been tasked to oversee the construction of India's first Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS), between Delhi and Meerut. The entire 82 km Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS is targeted to be operational by June 2025, the NCRTC had earlier said.
