Ghaziabad-Jewar Corridor: In a major update for the residents of Delhi-NCR, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida, and Noida International Airport are reportedly among the stations proposed for Namo Bharat services on the Ghaziabad-Jewar corridor. As per the station details shared by the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC), 11 stations on this 72.44-km-long corridor will offer Namo Bharat services, while 18 stations will offer metro services.
The services will allow passengers to travel between Ghaziabad, Noida, and the airport via both regional rapid rail and local metro. The metro and rapid rail services in the region will provide relief to the commuters by cutting the travel time and reducing traffic congestion. The corridor is currently in the detailed project report (DPR) stage, reported news agency PTI, citing an official.
This 72.44-km corridor will connect the Ghaziabad station of the Delhi-Meerut Namo Bharat Corridor to the Noida International Airport at Jewar.
