Rajasthan to Join India’s First RRTS Network as CM Bhajanlal Sharma Pushes Project Forward

Namo Bharat to Run Between Alwar, Sotanala and New Delhi;

91-km RRTS Corridor to be Developed in Rajasthan

Major Boost for State Infrastructure

Jaipur, May 2026 : Due to the commitment of Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) project aimed at connecting Rajasthan with New Delhi through a fast, safe, and world-class transport network has gained fresh momentum. Following an agreement between the Rajasthan and Haryana governments, Rajasthan will soon be connected to the Namo Bharat network, making the operation of Namo Bharat trains between Delhi and Alwar possible.

The Delhi–Gurugram–SNB–Alwar corridor, which will begin from Sarai Kale Khan in New Delhi, will pass through Munirka, Aerocity, Gurugram, and Bawal before reaching Khairthal and Alwar from SNB. Another section of the corridor from SNB will extend through Neemrana and Behror up to Sotanala.

This development is expected to directly benefit major industrial regions of the NCR, including Bhiwadi and Neemrana in Rajasthan, while also creating new opportunities for investment and employment.

196-km Network and 22 Major Stations

It is noteworthy that under the Integrated Transport Plan prepared for the Delhi National Capital Region (NCR), efforts are underway to connect major cities in the region through a modern and rapid transportation system.

In the first phase, the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut, Delhi-Gurugram-SNB-Alwar, and Delhi-Panipat-Karnal corridors are being developed as Namo Bharat corridors. Among these, the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut corridor has already been inaugurated.

Under the entire project, a 196-km-long Namo Bharat network with 22 major stations has been proposed to strengthen regional connectivity. In Rajasthan, the corridor will span 91 kilometres and include six proposed stations. The network will feature high-speed operations of up to 160 km per hour.

Inter-Operable Corridors; Sarai Kale Khan to Become Main Junction

All three Namo Bharat corridors are being designed as inter-operable networks, enabling passengers to travel seamlessly and quickly from one corridor to another. These corridors will interconnect at the Sarai Kale Khan station in Delhi.

RRTS trains will operate on dedicated and elevated corridors, ensuring completely congestion-free travel unaffected by road traffic. The entire network will also be integrated with railway stations, ISBT bus terminals, airports, and the Delhi Metro.

RRTS: A Modern Transit System Three Times Faster Than Metro

The Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) is an advanced model of public transportation developed specifically to meet the growing mobility needs of the NCR region. Its trains operate at speeds nearly three times faster than metro trains.

While metro systems mainly cater to travel within a city, the RRTS is designed to connect nearby cities in a fast, safe, and convenient manner.

Passing through major industrial regions of Haryana and Rajasthan, the Delhi-Gurugram-SNB-Alwar corridor is expected not only to make commuting across the NCR faster and smoother but also to usher in a new era of industrial growth and infrastructure expansion in Rajasthan.
