Consequences of rapid urbanization in Delhi & NCR
 Unmanageable Urban Sprawl
 Lacking Regional Public Transport – low frequency
– lack of integration - Multiple interchanges
 Pollution2:
 40% increase in vehicular pollution - 2010 & 2018
 Road vehicles contribute as high as 41% of the
pollution
 Vehicles from NCR contribute 40%-50%

Approach required

 Create Sustainable Public Transport Network - Mobility

 A reliable, fast & regional mass transit system can broaden the spread of development
 Empower citizens through improved access
o Enable travel from/to urban areas by creating suitable transport and physical
infrastructure with multi- modal integration:
o Make the transit seamless and reduce unnecessary dispersal and collection during travel
o Comprehensive last mile connectivity-key to patronage
 Enable polycentric development
 Transit Oriented Development – Densification around stations
 Economic nodes around stations: new economic opportunities

Regional Mobility is an ideal solution for sustainable

development

RRTS in NCR – enhancing Regional Mobility
Functional Plan on Transport for NCR-2032 - eight (8)
Corridors of RRTS

• The Planning Commission appointed Task Force (2006)

having representation of GOI and NCR States –
o Prioritized 3 corridors for phase - I:
 Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut (Sanctioned by GoI –
07.03.2019) – in implementation phase
 Delhi-Gurugram-Alwar
 Delhi-Panipat
• Created institutional framework
o Inter-ministerial and Inter-state sub-committee (2009) -
to oversee the planning
• Brought Stake-Holders together
o MoU17.9.19
(2011) signed and NCRTC created
What is RRTS & What will it offer to its users?
RRTS – Rail based high speed, high capacity, comfortable and safe commuter service connecting regional nodes.
It will help in reducing Road Congestion, Energy Consumption and Pollution

Design speed of 180 kmph Train every ~5-10 min. & serving Interoperable Corridors & Universal Access – Dedicated
(Delhi to Meerut in 60-65 min) traffic nodes every 5-10 kms Multimodal Integration Women Coach

High capacity, comfortable Reduced Land use for high Commuter friendly
journey, airline seating Weather proof – rains, fog throughput information system

RRTS trains will travel at 3 times the average speed of Metro
