The project is intended to offer quickly, smooth and modern transport for thousands of daily passengers between the two cities. It is designed to reduce travel time, to illuminate traffic and improve the overall living work experience.
A fast and comfortable train ride from Delhi to Meerut in just 45 minutes can soon be a reality. India’s first regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS), known as the Namo Bharat -Gang, is almost complete and is expected to be fully operational at the end of June. Officials of the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) said on Tuesday that the last stage of the 82 kilometer route is progressing well. Test runs have already started and commuters can soon experience the full journey.
The RRTS gang starts with Sarai Kale Khan in Delhi and ends at Modipuram in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. 55 km with 11 stations is already active from the total piece. The remaining 27 km is located in its last work phase.
“This is a big step forward for regional journeys,” said an NCRTC officer. “By the end of June, people can reach Mensut from Delhi in just 45 minutes.”

Since the launch in October 2023, the corridor is expanding in phases. The piece between Sahaibabad and the new Ashok Nagar became operational in January of this year. Now tests take place on the two unfinished sections – one between Sarai Khan and New Ashok Nagar, and another Van Meerut South to Modipuram.
The Sarai Bale Khan station is almost ready, equipped with 12 escalators, four lifts, platform screen doors and five access and exit points.
The last part in MERUT contains three new stations: Shatabdi Nagar (raised), Begumpul (underground and in the busy market area of the city) and Modipuram (the terminal station near the highway, with a foot over the bridge).
In a scoop for India, Meerut Metro will also use the same tracks as the RRTS trains. The 23 km metro line has 13 stations, three of which are underground.
More than one crore have already traveled on the operational parts of the Namo Bharat trains. With partnerships for better last-mile travel and discounted rates, commuting is not only faster but also more affordable.
