THE COMMUTER RAIL SYSTEM FOR DELHI-NCR

Northern Railway’s Delhi Suburban Railway is a suburban train service for the National Capital Region (NCR). This train service serves Delhi as well as the neighbouring cities of Gurgaon, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Sonipat, and other locations in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.

These services are generally delivered with EMU and MEMU rakes. Passenger trains and DMU services are now available up to Rewari in Haryana, which is part of the NCR. Delhi currently has 46 railway stations. As per railway ministry, plans are being worked upon with efforts being made to upgrade and link the network with Delhi Metro by building interchanges at metro stations. The main aim of the project is to relieve traffic congestion in the city. The Delhi Suburban Railway operates on the same tracks as long-distance trains. Women Special trains were launched between New Delhi and Palwal and from New Delhi to Ghaziabad and Panipat in 2009. EMUs in Delhi currently run with 12 coaches, ten of which are general compartments and two of which are reserved for ladies as ladies compartments. According to Northern Railway estimates, there are more than 110 suburban trains that operate on key routes.
