Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi.
The Haryana government last week approved a proposal for rail connectivity between Delhi's Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport and Hisar's Maharaja Agrasen International Airport for freight as well as passengers.
Accordingly, feasibility report has been taken up by the Haryana Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (HRIDC) and will be sent to Ministry of Railways for sanction.
The Delhi-Hisar rail link would cover Bijwasan, Gurugram, Garhi Harsaru, Sultanpur, Farukhnagar and Jhajjar.
It will boost regional development, improve transportation efficiency, and promote sustainable mobility for both freight and passengers.
In the first phase of the project, rail link between Garhi Harsaru-Farukhnagar–Jhajjar will be developed while in the second phase, the 25 km connectivity to Maharaja Agrasen International Airport in Hisar will be taken up.
Earlier in March, Haryana Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala had said the Maharaja Agrasen Hisar Airport will be made operational by 1 November. Under the regional connectivity scheme, air service will be started from Hisar on nine routes to different states.
