On the occasion of “Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav” going on in Lucknow ‘freedom @75‘ NCRTC showcases the benefits of RRTS at the Expo, showcases works under Make in India
The Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) is being constructed to connect the major regional nodes of Western UP namely Ghaziabad, Muradnagar, Modi Nagar and Meerut to Delhi by India’s fastest public transport mode. The Hon’ble Prime Minister, while visiting the pavilion of RRTS at ‘New Urban India Conclave – Transforming Urban Landscape’, witnessed the progress of the construction work of RRTS corridor in Western UP region. During this, Hon’ble Governor of Uttar Pradesh Smt. Anandiben Patel, Hon’ble Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Hon’ble Defense Minister Shri Rajnath Singh, Hon’ble Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) Minister Shri Hardeep Puri and Dr. Mahendra Nath Pandey, Hon’ble Union Minister of Heavy Industries and others. The dignitary also visited the pavilion.
Many world class latest technologies are being used in the construction of NCRTC country’s first RRTS corridor. Apart from this, the dream of ‘Make in India’ is also being realized in the construction of the entire corridor, which is being displayed in the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, [email protected]’, which will be held from today till October 7.
NCRTC is developing India’s first 82 km long RRTS corridor from Meerut to Delhi which will reduce the travel time between Delhi to Meerut from less than 60 minutes which takes 3-4 hours to complete. With a design speed of 180 kmph and an average speed of 100 kmph, RRTS aims to bring people and places closer. People living in western Uttar Pradesh will get its benefit and 8 lakh passengers will be able to travel in it daily.
With its construction, people from Meerut and Ghaziabad as well as large areas of western UP will have easy access to better education, healthcare and economic opportunities. About 68 km of Rapid Rail is in western Uttar Pradesh, of which 60.57 km is elevated and 8 km is underground. In Meerut, there are 13 stations in the 21 km long stretch, from Meerut South to Modipuram, on which the Meerut Metro’s world class transport service will be available to the local residents.
Out of total 13 stations in Meerut, 3 are underground and remaining 10 stations are elevated. The elevated stations in Meerut are Meerut South, Partapur, Rithani, Shatabdi Nagar, Brahmapuri followed by MES Colony, Daurali, Meerut North, Modipuram and Modipuram depots. There are 3 underground stations between Brahmapuri and MES Colony – Bhainsali, Meerut Central and Begumpul.
From Meerut South to Sahibabad, the RRTS corridor consists of 8 elevated stations in a stretch of about 40 km. These stations are located at Modi Nagar South, Modi Nagar North, Murad Nagar, Duhai and Duhai Depots, Guldhar, Ghaziabad and Sahibabad.
The RRTS corridor will bring fast, safe, reliable, comfortable, efficient, seamless and sustainable mode of transport, bringing the regional nodes of Western UP closer to Delhi. The most important thing in RRTS is to implement Multi-Modal Integration (MMI). RRTS stations will be integrated, wherever possible, with different modes of transport like airports, Indian railway stations, inter-state bus terminus, Delhi Metro stations. Seamless integration between different modes of transport encourages commuters to use public transport more and more.
In the 17 km priority section between Sahibabad and Duhai, construction work is in advanced stage at all 5 stations including Ghaziabad, Guldhar and Duhai depots. The target is to make this priority section operational by March 2023 and the full corridor by 2025.
NCRTC is showcasing various Make in India initiatives at RRTS;
All (100%) trainsets are being manufactured for RRTS at Savli, Gujarat. The trainset has been designed by the Global Engineering and Technology Centre, Hyderabad and the propulsion system of the trains is also being developed indigenously.
NCRTC has for the first time in the country indigenized ‘Blastless Track Technology’ used in RRTS corridor, which is suitable for high design speed of 180 kmph. NCRTC has selected the best track technology for RRTS and has acquired the capability to design blastless tracks for future RRTS corridors and other rail-based systems in India. RRTS tracks will support higher performance and require less maintenance, thus reducing life-cycle costs. NCRTC is manufacturing Pre-cast Track Slabs at its Pre-cast Track Slab factories.
Platform Screen Doors (PSDs) have been developed by NCRTC for the first time in the country. Now it will be designed and manufactured in the country itself. PSD has become an important component of modern transport infrastructure. These act as a security barrier between the platform/train/track and the passengers besides helping in better crowd management at the stations. Due to the high speed of trains, PSDs will be installed at each RRTS station and will manage the speedy acceleration and de-acceleration of the train. Also, it will help to save significant energy consumption in underground stations.
