The first trainset of the country’s first Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) was handed over to the National Capital Region Transport Corporation on Saturday for the 82.5-km Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS Phase 1.
Designed by global mobility provider Alstom at its engineering centre in Hyderabad and manufactured in Savli, Gujarat, India’s first semi high-speed regional train can move passengers at 180 km/hour and will cut travel time between Delhi and Meerut by 40%. The aerodynamic trains are designed to offer top-class comfort and safety for a premium passenger experience for commuters and are energy efficient.
