Ahead of the crucial Assembly elections in the national capital, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday inaugurated two major infrastructure projects for Delhi—direct connectivity between Delhi and Meerut with the New Ashok Nagar-Sahibabad stretch of the Namo Bharat service and extension of Delhi Metro's Magenta Line.
The operationalisation of services on two stations (a 12-kilometre stretch) on the Delhi-Meerut corridor—Anand Vihar and New Ashok Nagar—is estimated to cost around ₹4,600 crore, among other infrastructure projects.
With this addition, Namo Bharat trains will arrive in Delhi, reducing travel time between New Ashok Nagar and Meerut South to under 40 minutes. Of the newly inaugurated 13 km section, 6 km is underground and includes a prominent station on the corridor, Anand Vihar.
"This marks the first time that Namo Bharat trains will operate in an underground section. The other station on this stretch is an elevated station at New Ashok Nagar," said the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC), the central government arm responsible for the execution of the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS).
