Capacity and station-wise facilities

According to officials, the corridor offers parking space for nearly 8,000 vehicles. In Delhi, facilities are available at three stations — Sarai Kale Khan, New Ashok Nagar and Anand Vihar. Sarai Kale Khan has space for around 266 cars and 837 two-wheelers, while New Ashok Nagar can accommodate about 75 cars and 250 two-wheelers. Anand Vihar has parking for more than 10 cars and around 40 two-wheelers. The remaining nearly 6,500 parking slots are located at stations along the Uttar Pradesh section.

Full corridor now operational

The entire 82-km corridor was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The launch included the final sections of India’s first Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS): a 5-km stretch between Sarai Kale Khan and New Ashok Nagar in Delhi, and a 21-km segment between Meerut South and Modipuram in Uttar Pradesh.

Built for a top speed of 180 kmph, the Namo Bharat trains aim to cut travel time between Delhi and key urban centres such as Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, Modinagar and Meerut.

Sarai Kale Khan, the starting point of the corridor, is one of four newly opened stations. It is being developed as a major multi-modal transport hub with links to Hazrat Nizamuddin railway station, the Delhi Metro’s Pink Line, Veer Haqeeqat Rai ISBT and the Ring Road. The other three stations inaugurated — Shatabdi Nagar, Begumpul and Modipuram — are located in Meerut.

With the latest extension, Namo Bharat services now run from Sarai Kale Khan in Delhi to Modipuram in Uttar Pradesh. In addition, Meerut Metro operations between Meerut South and Modipuram began on Sunday.
