Kashmere Gate to Murthal in 30 minutes: the RRTS corridors planned after Delhi-Meerut

Once upcoming corridors are complete, commuters will be able to travel from Kashmere Gate in Delhi to Murthal in just 30 minutes, part of a broader expansion of the Regional Rapid Transit System, or RRTS, network following the launch of the Delhi-Meerut corridor.

Among the prioritised Phase 1 corridors is the 136-kilometre Delhi-Panipat-Karnal line, which will cut travel time from Delhi to Karnal to just 1.5 hours, with the Indraprastha to Sonipat leg taking 35 minutes and Kashmere Gate to Panipat under an hour. About 100 kilometres of the corridor will run through Haryana and 36 kilometres through Delhi, starting at Sarai Kale Khan and ending at Karnal New ISBT, with 17 stations planned.

The Delhi-Gurgaon-Bawal corridor, also prioritised for Phase 1, will pass through Gurgaon and Manesar and connect Delhi airport to the Namo Bharat network, cutting Delhi-Bawal travel time from three hours to around 70 minutes. Around 22 kilometres of this corridor will run through Delhi and 71 kilometres through Haryana, with 13 stations in addition to Sarai Kale Khan.

Two more corridors are in the planning stage: a 72-kilometre Ghaziabad-Jewar Namo Bharat RRTS cum Metro line connecting to Noida International Airport, for which a detailed project report has been prepared, and a Gurgaon-Faridabad-Noida-Greater Noida corridor, whose detailed project report is also ready.

The Delhi-Meerut corridor, the first full stretch of the network, has already crossed about 3.5 crore passenger journeys since its February 2026 inauguration, with around one lakh passengers travelling daily, according to Shalabh Goel, managing director of the National Capital Region Transport Corporation, which is executing the project.
