In a bid to boost regional connectivity, the government has approved two Namo Bharat Rapid Rail Corridors (RRTS) connecting Delhi to Gurgaon, Rewari, Sonipat, Panipat and Karnal. The projects are estimated to be built at a combined cost of Rs 65,000 crore upon the final approval from the Union Cabinet. 

The government approval is significant as the proposals were delayed for a long time due to funding disagreements between the Centre and the previous AAP governments in Delhi.
