The Union Government inaugurated the 13 km Sahibabad-New Ashok Nagar stretch under the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut regional rapid transit system (RRTS) project on January 5, 2024. With this, the operational length of RRTS has increased to 54 km covering 11 stations. This reduces the travel time to less than 40 minutes between New Ashok Nagar and Meerut South RRTS station.
The entire project involves development of 82.15 km RRTS connecting the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut corridor with an investment of Rs 302.74 billion.
