Delhi–Alwar Regional Rapid Transit System (Delhi–Alwar RRTS) is a proposed 164 km long,[2][3] semi-high speed rail corridor connecting Delhi, Gurgaon, Rewari and Alwar. It is one of the three rapid-rail corridors planned under Phase-1 of the Rapid Rail Transport System of the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC). With maximum speed of 160 km/h and average speed of 105 km/h,[4] the distance between Delhi and Alwar will be covered in 104 minutes.[5] The project is expected to cost ₹37,000 crores.[6]

History

The National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB) as part of its Integrated Transportation Plan 2032 identified eight rail based rapid transit corridors to improve the efficacy of transportation system in the NCR.[7] These were:

  1. Delhi - Gurgaon - Rewari - Alwar
  2. Delhi - Ghaziabad - Meerut
  3. Delhi - Sonipat - Panipat
  4. Delhi - Faridabad - Ballabhgarh - Palwal
  5. Delhi - Bahadurgarh - Rohtak
  6. Delhi - Shahadra - Baraut
  7. Ghaziabad - Khurja
  8. Ghaziabad - Hapur

Of these Delhi-Alwar, Delhi-Panipat and Delhi-Meerut are to be constructed in the first phase. The Urban Mass Transit Company was given the job of conducting a feasibility study on 23 March 2010. The study thus submitted was approved by the Planning Board in 2012. The contract was then transferred to NCRTC on 18 January 2017 to carry the study forward.[1]

On 15 June 2018, the 100 km long first phase of the project from Sarai Kale Khan to Shahjahanpur-Neemrana-Behror, at an estimated cost of ₹25,000 crore, was approved by the Haryana government.[8]

Stations

There will be total 22 stations in total; 16 will be built in the first phase and the rest in later phases.[9]
