India and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) sealed a pact on December 15 for a 37 billion Japanese Yen ($250 million) loan to sustain the development of the 82-kilometre Delhi-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridor.
This corridor, traversing densely populated segments of the national capital region, promises swift, secure, and high-capacity commuting services. By drastically reducing travel time from 3-4 hours to approximately one hour, it is poised to broaden economic horizons and job prospects in the area.
