Delhi's RRTS Station will clear Hazrat Nizamuddin congestion

For more on Railways: Railways Tracker

    
A dedicated pick-up and drop-off zone with the capacity to accommodate 40 vehicles and parking for 15 buses simultaneously is being planned at the Sarai Kale Khan RRTS station, according to officials close to the project. The entire section will be set up under the RRTS station's elevated structure, which will function as a city bus interchange point. Additionally, commuters will have segregated pathways, allowing passengers to enter the station without encountering any motor vehicles.


This project is part of the multi-modal integration plan for the Namo Bharat train at Sarai Kale Khan and Anand Vihar stations. The Sarai Kale Khan station is strategically located near the busy Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station, Delhi's Pink Line station, Veer Haqeeqat Rai ISBT, a city bus depot, and the Ring Road. All these transport hubs are planned to be interconnected at the RRTS station, as reported by the Hindustan Times, quoting officials from the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC).
An NCRTC spokesperson mentioned that, given its prime location, this new major transport hub is expected to serve a large number of passengers. To facilitate easier travel and ensure smooth movement around the RRTS station, NCRTC is creating a user-friendly environment with dedicated pick-up and drop-off areas, pedestrian pathways, a footbridge (FOB), and travelators.
With this infrastructure, commuters will no longer need to cross roads or deal with traffic when changing transport modes. Currently, many intercity buses pick up and drop off passengers along the roadside at the Sarai Kale Khan bus stop. The spokesperson added that due to the lack of designated space, commercial and private vehicles often drop off passengers on the road, leading to traffic disruptions and unsafe conditions for passengers, who are forced to cross the crowded and congested road.
The Sarai Kale Khan station is being planned to connect with other transport options, including the bus stand, railway station, and Metro station. As part of this plan, the NCRTC has also decided to create five entry and exit gates with multiple staircases, lifts, and escalators.
As the largest RRTS station, Sarai Kale Khan will measure 215 metres in length, 50 metres in width, and 15 metres in height, and will feature 14 lifts and 18 escalators. A footbridge with six travelators is being constructed to link the RRTS station with the railway station, which is 280 metres away. The Sarai Kale Khan station is part of the 82-kilometre Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor and will also serve as an interchange for two additional planned RRTS lines.

World Bank to help develop Haryana RRTS projects including Delhi-Gurugram line

For more on Railways: Railways Tracker

World Bank and NCRTC discussed financing and developing RRTS projects in Haryana, focusing on the Delhi-Gurugram line. The collaboration aims for sustainable transport.

A delegation from the World Bank met on Friday met officials of the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) in the Capital to discuss the modalities of financing and developing Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) projects in Haryana, particularly the Delhi to Gurugram line.

NCRTC — the agency executing the RRTS project — is already developing one RRTS line — Delhi to Meerut, which is partially operational at present. Last year, the Haryana government had approved the Delhi-Gurugram RRTS project — which will later be extended to Alwar in Rajasthan — and the Delhi-Panipat RRTS project.

An NCRTC spokesperson said that a delegation led by World Bank regional director for infrastructure Pankaj Gupta met an NCRTC team led by its managing director Shalabh Gupta at its corporate office in Delhi.

“The bank, apart from funding the projects, is handholding the RRTS projects and is partnering on various initiatives such as development of logistics services, capturing land value through RRTS corridors and exploring transit-oriented development along these corridors. The objective is to develop sustainable and efficient transport infrastructure in NCR,” the spokesperson said.

Puneet Vats, chief public relations officer, NCRTC said that the collaboration with World Bank will not only focus on getting financial support, but both sides will also work on sharing advanced knowledge and technologies. “The World Bank has global expertise and we want to take advantage of that. The World Bank team also appreciated the technical expertise and new technologies that have been deployed on the Delhi-Meerut corridor,” he said.

NCRTC plans to construct the Delhi-Alwar RRTS corridor in three phases. In the first phase, the agency will construct a 107-km stretch from Sarai Kale Khan in Delhi to Shahjahanpur-Neemrana-Behror (SNB) urban complex, passing through Gurugram, Manesar, Panchgaon and Rewari. In the second phase, the line will be extended from SNB to Sotanala, an industrial town in Rajasthan, and in the third phase, the corridor will extend as far as Alwar.

Vats said NCRTC has completed pre-construction activities along the proposed alignment for the first phase. “We have also identified land that will be required for constructing the stations and depots, and discussion is on to get it transferred to NCRTC... As soon as the project gets approval from the central government, work on it will start,” he said.

Spanning 135 kilometres, this high-speed rail corridor promises to ease the overburdened roads and railway lines of Delhi-NCR. The project is expected to link key logistics hubs in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh

Eastern Orbital Rail Corridor project

The relentless traffic congestion of Delhi-NCR could soon become a thing of the past. But the solution isn’t on the roads—it’s racing along tracks at a staggering speed of 160 km per hour. The Eastern Orbital Rail Corridor, a bold new project, is set to revolutionise the way we think about regional transport. But what exactly is this ambitious undertaking, and how will it change the daily grind of millions?

The Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) has been entrusted with a monumental task: spearheading the Eastern Orbital Rail Corridor project as the nodal agency. The government’s decision to hand over the responsibility to GDA includes the critical task of preparing a comprehensive feasibility report. To ensure a thorough evaluation, the GDA will gather funds from stakeholders who stand to benefit from this groundbreaking initiative. The report will then be forwarded to the Haryana Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (HRIDC) for final assessment.

Spanning 135 kilometres, this high-speed rail corridor promises to ease the overburdened roads and railway lines of Delhi-NCR. The project is expected to link key logistics hubs in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, integrating seamlessly with national highways, railway lines, and even the upcoming Jewar International Airport. This interconnectedness is anticipated to spur significant industrial growth in the region.

TRENDING NOW

The corridor’s construction will demand an estimated investment of ₹14,000 crore, with ₹11,000 crore earmarked for infrastructure and ₹3,000 crore for land acquisition. The corridor will feature 18 strategically placed stations, 12 of which will serve as crossing points, while six will function as halt stations. The passenger trains are designed to zip along at 160 km per hour, while freight trains will travel at 100 km per hour, ensuring swift and efficient movement of both people and goods.

Covering 90 kilometres in Uttar Pradesh and 45 kilometres in Haryana, this corridor will provide substantial benefits to areas such as Jewar Airport, Dadri, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, and Meerut. Its strategic alignment will intersect with multiple railway lines, rivers, and highways, promising to reduce pollution, ease traffic, and boost regional connectivity.
With the Eastern Orbital Rail Corridor set to redefine transportation in NCR, the future of commuting in this bustling region has never looked more promising.
