Lower Emission and Reduced Congestion

The environment friendly and very low emission RRTS will carry many times more people at high speed (Average 100 kmph) while occupying just 3 m space on land thus reducing congestion on the roads. Overall it will significantly reduce the total emission from the transport sector in NCR.

Ambitious plans are taking shape for an eight-route regional express rail network to serve the rapidly-developing National Capital Region.

Later this year, tenders are due to be called for construction of a 180 km/h railway between Delhi and Meerut, the first line of the future National Capital Regional Rapid Transit System.

Occupying a stratum between Indian Railways’ conventional long-distance inter-city and suburban trains, with some of the hallmarks of an urban metro, RRTS will introduce a new approach for India, offering fast, frequent and high capacity intra-regional rail services.
