Namo Bharat Reach in one hour from Delhi to Meerut

The National Capital Regional Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has successfully conducted a full-length timetable trial run of the Namo Bharat trains from Sarai Kale Khan to Modipuram, completing the journey in under an hour. In the Meerut section, Meerut Metro trains also operated simultaneously with the Namo Bharat trains during the trials, with all systems performing flawlessly. This achievement marks a major operational milestone in the implementation of India’s first Namo Bharat corridor, which connects Delhi, Ghaziabad, and Meerut.

Delhi Meerut Namo Bharat Reach Meerut in One Hour at a speed of 160 KMPH

During the trial run, Namo Bharat trains operated smoothly at their maximum operational speed of 160 kmph along the entire 82-km corridor. The trains stopped at every RRTS station between Sarai Kale Khan and Modipuram, completing the full journey in under one hour, precisely in line with the schedule set by the NCRTC.

The advanced ETCS Level 3 Hybrid signalling system over LTE backbone deployed on the corridor, a global first, performed flawlessly, along with the Platform Screen Doors (PSDs) installed at every station. This successful run underscores system readiness and represents a firm step forward towards full-scale operations.

Progress Toward Full Commissioning of the Namo Bharat Corridor and Meerut Metro

Currently, 55 km of the Namo Bharat corridor with 11 stations is operational for commuters. Trial runs and final finishing works are advancing swiftly on the remaining sections—4.5 km between Sarai Kale Khan and New Ashok Nagar in Delhi, and approximately 23 km between Meerut South and Modipuram in Meerut. This marks a crucial step toward the full commissioning of the entire corridor.

Simultaneously, trial runs of the Meerut Metro are in progress on the Meerut South to Modipuram Depot stretch. For the first time in India, local metro services will operate on the same infrastructure as the Namo Bharat trains. The 23-km Meerut Metro stretch features 13 stations, including 18 km of elevated track and 5 km of underground alignment.
