Suspense crime, Digital Desk : Meerut, India – The grueling daily commute between Meerut and Delhi is on the brink of a revolutionary transformation. A major milestone was achieved as the Namo Bharat train, India's first semi-high-speed regional rail service, successfully completed a crucial trial run on the stretch connecting Meerut South to Modipuram.
This successful test marks the final phase of trials for the entire Meerut section of the ambitious Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Rapid Rail Transit System (RRTS) corridor. The trial run, conducted by the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC), confirms that the infrastructure is ready to handle high-speed operations.
Once fully operational, the 82-kilometer corridor will be an absolute game-changer for the region. The state-of-the-art Namo Bharat trains will slash the current travel time of two to three hours by road to a mere 50-60 minutes, connecting Delhi's Sarai Kale Khan to Modipuram in Meerut.
This project is set to redefine public transport in the National Capital Region (NCR). For the thousands of daily commuters, students, and professionals traveling between the two cities, it promises a fast, reliable, comfortable, and eco-friendly alternative to congested highways.
The successful trial run on the Meerut section brings the entire high-priority corridor one significant step closer to full commissioning. It signals the impending reality of seamless, high-speed connectivity that will integrate Meerut more closely with the capital, boosting economic activity and transforming the lives of its residents.
