The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has finished the geo-technical survey for the proposed Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) line connecting Gurugram, Faridabad, Noida and Greater Noida, the Hindustan Times reported.
The corridor will also integrate with the Ghaziabad-Jewar airport link, according to a senior NCRTC official cited in the HT report.
“The geo-technical survey of the proposed RRTS alignment has been carried out. The length of the line will be 60 kilometres and it will connect Gurugram, Faridabad, Noida and Greater Noida,” the official was quoted as saying by HT.
The official added that while six stations were initially planned, the number is “likely to increase.”
Estimated to cost Rs 15,000 crore, the high-speed corridor is designed for a top speed of 180 kmph, according to an NCRTC communique shared with the Haryana government in May.
The same month, the state approved the Gurugram-Faridabad-Noida RRTS corridor, after which work on the detailed project report (DPR) began.
The alignment is proposed to start from Iffco Chowk in Gurugram, with the first station near Sector 29 on the Delhi-Jaipur highway.
It will pass Iffco Chowk Metro station, Ardee City Road, and Wazirabad, then head towards Golf Course Road and Sector 56 before reaching Gurugram-Faridabad Road.
Additional stops are planned at Sector 54, Bata Chowk, the Sector 85-86 junction in Faridabad, and the Sector 142-168 area in Noida, ending at Surajpur in Greater Noida, where it will link with the Ghaziabad-Jewar Namo Bharat corridor.
On Monday, the Haryana chief secretary reviewed the progress of RRTS projects being implemented by NCRTC in the state.
After the review meeting, a state government spokesperson was quoted as saying by HT, “The approval for the Gurugram–Faridabad–Noida/Greater Noida Namo Bharat Corridor was granted in a meeting chaired by the Chief Minister on May 5, 2025, following NCRTC’s formal request. Work on its DPR has since commenced, marking significant progress on another crucial intercity transportation link.”
