New Delhi: India’s first Regional Rapid Transit System- Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS hall, being applied between the nationwide capital and Meerut through Ghaziabad, Duhai and Modi Nagar, is a rail-based excessive pace, excessive frequency regional commuter transit system connecting metropolitan and large cities, cities and concrete nodes throughout the National Capital Region (NCR).
It goals to empowers residents via entry, tackle problems with financial and social exclusion, promote balanced and sustainable financial improvement of NCR and assist in decreasing problems with extreme congestion, power consumption and unsafe air pollution. The implementation of Delhi-Meerut RRTS hall is estimated to extend the share of public transportation utilization alongside the hall from 37% to 63%. In addition, the system will result in 60%-70% discount in journey. Once operational, RRTS will take a couple of lakh non-public autos off the highway.
The implementation of the RRTS is an integral a part of bigger technique to handle problems with congestion and air pollution and is a part of ‘Comprehensive Action Plan’ (CAP) for Air Pollution Control in Delhi & NCR’ and the advice of ‘High Powered Committee on Decongesting Traffic in Delhi’.
The proposed RRTS is aimed toward decreasing Green House Gas (GHG) emissions and pollutions throughout the NCR area in step with worldwide requirements. Driven by electrical traction, RRTS will function a green mode of transit in NCR. Estimated day by day ridership on 82 km lengthy Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Corridor is 8 lakhs.
“With the ever-increasing number of vehicles leading to higher pollution, NCR needs long term solutions to improve the air quality. A robust public transport network is the need of the hour. NCRTC is implementing RRTS, a safe, fast, reliable, eco-friendly, comfortable, and sustainable mobility solution in the National Capital Region. Apart from enabling polycentric development of the region, RRTS will also help in significantly reducing the air pollution, road congestion and accidents. Through extensive use of renewable energy and with lesser carbon footprints, RRTS would be one of the most green and clean mode of public transport in NCR,” Puneet Vats- CPRO, NCRTC instructed Zee Media.
“Driven by its vision, NCRTC is taking conscious efforts to keep the environment clean even during the construction phase. Presently, construction is being done within the properly barricaded zones to mitigate pollution and there is an extensive use of anti-smog guns to contain the spreading of dust,” he added.
40% of the full power requirement of Delhi Meerut RRTS hall is anticipated to be procured/generated from renewable power. All elevated stations and depots shall be supplied with photo voltaic panels and web metering system with the grid provide. This technique will assist in reaching web zero power idea which means that many of the auxiliary energy requirement shall be met via photo voltaic power.
Being a rail based mostly transit system it’ll have 1/fifth gas consumption that in contrast with highway autos attributable to decreased friction owing to metal to metal rolling contact.
The hall is principally elevated i.e about 71 km, taking solely 3meter of highway house and relaxation 11 km is underground, thus considerably producing lesser carbon footprints.Â

Given the dire state of the air high quality in NCR, the necessity to implement tasks like RRTS turns into extra essential. It is due to the multitude of advantages from the undertaking by way of decongestion and discount in air pollution, that implementation of RRTS was really helpful within the Comprehensive Action Plan (CAP) for Air Pollution Control in Delhi & NCR.
