Introduction
Big news for Meerut! The long-awaited Delhi–Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS), branded NaMo Bharat, is finally set for a September 2025 launch. With this, Meerut residents will soon be able to reach Delhi in just 45 minutes—a huge leap from the usual 2+ hour road journey. For a city that often feels cut off from the pace of the capital, this is nothing short of revolutionary.
What Makes the RRTS Special?
The Delhi–Meerut RRTS is India’s first regional rapid rail and a symbol of smart transport innovation. Here’s what makes it stand out:
82 km corridor connecting Delhi (Sarai Kale Khan) to Meerut (Modipuram).
Trains capable of 160 km/h, powered by advanced safety and signaling systems.
Already, a 55 km stretch is operational, while the final 27 km is undergoing finishing touches.
Designed by Alstom and operated by DB RRTS India (Deutsche Bahn’s unit), ensuring world-class passenger experience.
Features include on-board Wi-Fi, charging ports, panoramic windows, smart ticketing, women and business class coaches.
