Earlier semi-high-speed trains like Gatimaan Express and Vande Bharat were capped at 130 km/h after a June 2024 directive. The current operational corridor runs from New Ashok Nagar, East Delhi, to Meerut South, Uttar Pradesh, with full corridor expected to have 16 stations from Sarai Kale Khan, Delhi, to Modipuram, UP. Namo Bharat RRTS is a joint venture: Government of India (50%) and Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan (12.5% each). The system is India’s first Regional Rapid Transit System, enhancing speed, connectivity, and regional travel efficiency.
