With the inauguration of the 13-kilometre-long section of the Delhi RRTS, Namo Bharat trains have now arrived in the Indian national capital.
The project, as per reports has been constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 4,600 crore ($53.6 million), and it marks a significant milestone in regional connectivity, providing Delhi with its first Namo Bharat connectivity.
The new high-speed rail corridor will cut travel time between Delhi and Meerut by one-third for millions of commuters, resulting in trips of less than 40 minutes.
The train offers modern amenities, including phone charging points, luggage spots, a separate coach for women, and a premium coach at a nominal fare of INR 150 (USD 1.75) for the stretch from New Delhi to Meerut.
