“The RRTS are being designed to enable operations at 180kmph and will include the latest track structure, rolling stock, and signalling systems.”

NCRTC is a joint venture (JV) between the Government of India and the State Governments of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, and Delhi. It is responsible for designing, constructing, and operations and maintenance (O&M) of RRTS.

In Phase I, the agreement prioritises the Panipat Smart Line and Delhi-Alwar Smart Line RRTS corridors.
