India's Fastest City Rail Flags Off By PM
New Era Begins for Integrated Transit
India has begun a new era of public transport. This is the first time in the country that stations and lines will be shared for both local metro and high-speed Namo Bharat travel. Passengers will no longer have to change platforms to travel between metro and trains — a first of its kind in India.
All Key Details
- **Total Length:** 23 km
- **Total Stations:** 13
- **Top Speed:** 120 km/h
- **Route:** Meerut South to Modipuram Depot
- **Fare:** ₹20 to ₹60
Impact of Namo Bharat
This corridor is a landmark achievement for infrastructure development in India. Meerut is soon going to become a major hub that is directly connected to Delhi – a complete paradigm shift for the lakhs of commuters who travel every day.
With the Delhi to Meerut corridor fully operational, the travel time from Meerut to Sarai Kale Khan will be reduced dramatically – saving precious hours for working professionals, students, and traders every day.
Real Estate and Business Boom
The impact is not merely on travel time. The corridor is soon going to cause a major real estate boom along the 13 stations, with property prices rising in areas that were previously considered too far off from Delhi.
Commercial activities will also receive a huge boost. Faster connectivity will open new avenues for trade, logistics, and investment across the entire Meerut-Delhi corridor.
For the first time in India, a single corridor is used for both metro and high-speed rail services — this is the future of public transit.
A New Chapter for India
This project represents the start of a new era for public transportation in India. It has demonstrated that metro and high-speed rail can operate on the same infrastructure, which will soon be adopted on other major routes in the country.
The new era of integrated public transit has officially begun.
