Delhi-Meerut Rapid Rail

A video that appeared on Twitter shows India's first rapid regional rail operating at top speed as it passes through an RRTS train station that is still under construction [{ "selector": ".plaib-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".codfi-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 452px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

RRTS Train

The RRTS trains will be the first regional rapid rail and the fastest metro trains in India. The parent organisation of Delhi-Meerut Rapid Rail, NCRTC, is currently running test runs at Duhai Depot [{ "selector": ".lrign-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".tmuag-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 440px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

First Run Of RRTS

RRTS ran its inaugural service between Ghaziabad and Duhai Depot. All the engineers, technicians had a unique and first-time experience when the train was taken out of Duhai Depot for electrical testing [{ "selector": ".fmjjz-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".asrlw-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 427px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Operational Date

The entire Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS is scheduled to open in 2025. Its Duhai-Sahibabad priority section in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, is expected to be operational by early 2023 [{ "selector": ".dxpdw-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".xnpkl-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 450px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Commute Time

RRTS is expected to reduce the journey time between Sarai Kale Khan in Delhi to Modipuram in Meerut in Uttar Pradesh to about 1 hour from the present 3–4 hours [{ "selector": ".urbpf-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".qokag-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 446px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

RRTS Viral Video

The video, which has no date or location, was shot from an unknown station where an RRTS train approaches and departs in a fraction of a second [{ "selector": ".ixcba-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".bluqs-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 446px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

RRTS Funding

In Sept 2020, ADB and Govt of India signed a $500 mn loan, the first tranche of a total $1 bn facility, to build a modern, high-speed 82-km Delhi-Meerut RRTS corridor [{ "selector": ".ttftb-a", "duration": "1000ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".slszm-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 444px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]
