The Haryana government on Tuesday (24 March) approved two major urban transport projects aimed at expanding public transport infrastructure across the National Capital Region (NCR).
Among the key approvals was the proposed Delhi–Panipat–Karnal Namo Bharat corridor, part of the National Capital Region Transport Corporation’s Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS).
The high-speed corridor will extend approximately 136.30 km from Delhi to Karnal via Panipat.
According to officials, the project will cost around Rs 33,051 crore, with the Haryana government expected to contribute roughly Rs 7,472 crore. The state’s share will be released in phases during the implementation period.
The corridor will include 11 stations within Haryana, providing faster and more reliable connectivity between major towns and urban centres in the state and the national capital.
Authorities believe the project will help reduce road congestion, shorten travel times and support efforts to control pollution across the region.
