A new Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridor is set to transform mobility in the National Capital Region (NCR), connecting Gurugram and Greater Noida.

According to the proposed plan, the corridor will start at Rajiv Chowk in Gurugram, pass through Bata Chowk in Faridabad and continue to Sector 142 in Noida and Surajpur in Greater Noida. Along its 60-km length, the corridor will include eight stations.

The project is expected to cost Rs 15,000 crore and aims to significantly reduce traffic congestion and pollution from the transport sector in the NCR.

Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, along with Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, recently announced a priority plan in New Delhi for expanding the Metro and constructing the RRTS corridor in Haryana.

In addition to this corridor, the state government is also focused on extending the RRTS from Sarai Kale Khan in Delhi to Karnal and developing a Metro line from Gurugram to AIIMS in Badsa.

Khattar has announced that a study will be conducted to connect the Metro from Palam Vihar in Gurugram to the airport. Additionally, the feasibility of laying two separate lines will be explored. A proposal will be prepared to extend the RRTS corridor from Sarai Kale Khan to Dharuhera, reaching Bawal and Shahjahanpur in Rajasthan. A study is also underway to assess a direct Metro connection between Gurugram and Faridabad. Another RRTS line is being studied from Delhi’s Palam Airport to Jewar Airport via Gurugram and Faridabad. The cost of the proposed Metro line from Sector 56 in Gurugram to Panchgaon will be determined by the Haryana Government. Upon receiving the detailed project report for this project, it will be approved immediately by the Central Ministry.
