Connectivity between Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR) is set to get receive a boost with plans to link Delhi Metro Phase-3 with the upcoming Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut rapid rail corridor, reports Financial Express.
The Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) has asked Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to prepare a revised detailed project report for Delhi Metro Phase III route between Noida Electronic City and the Mohan Nagar metro station.
The GDA has also sought for one of the stations on the metro route to be integrated with a station on the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridor near Sahibabad. Sahibabad will be one of the elevated stations on the inaugural corridor of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut rapid rail transit (RRTS) corridor.
The RRTS network is an ambitious regional transit mass transporting system which will connect the nodes of the national capital region (NCR). Once operational, the first corridor planned under this, which is the Delhi-Meerut corridor will reduce travel time between the two cities to just one hour. The other two corridors are between Delhi-Gurugram-Alwar and Delhi-Sonipat-Panipat.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
