Delhi Metro Update: With the launch of 82 km Namo Bharat Rapid Rail Transit System (RRTS) corridor connecting Delhi, Ghaziabad, and Meerut, and the 12.3 km Majlis Park-Maujpur metro extension on the Pink Line, Delhi-NCR will witness a major boost in connectivity. The projects are expected to be inaugurated around September 17, 2025.

At present, the 55 km stretch of Namo Bharat corridor from New Ashok Nagar to Meerut South is functional. It consists of 11 stations.

Trial runs on the final stretch have been completed. Once the entire corridor is up and running, travel time between Sarai Kale Khan in Delhi and Modipuram in Meerut will be just 58 minutes. According to a Times of India report, trains currently run every 15 minutes, but frequency will improve to every 10 minutes once the corridor is fully operational.
