Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday flagged off the “Namo Bharat RapidX” train connecting Sahibabad to Duhai Depot, marking the launch of the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) in India.
The Prime Minister also inaugurated the priority section of Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS Corridor at Sahibabad RapidX Station in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. This 17 km priority section will connect Sahibabad to Duhai Depot with stations at Ghaziabad, Guldhar and Duhai en route.
In line with the Modi government’s vision to create world-class transport infrastructure for regional connectivity, the RRTS, with a maximum speed of 180 kmph, is a transformational, regional development initiative designed to provide high-speed trains for intercity commuting every 15 minutes.
