# Delhi-Meerut RRTS Regional line – India

**Halving the journey time between Delhi and Meerut: such is the challenge that the teams at SYSTRA in India will overcome in the context of the country’s move towards a regional rapid rail network for public transport, similar to the French regional express trains (RER).**

The Delhi-Meerut express line will link the Indian capital to the suburbs
Ghaziabad and Meerut in Uttar Pradesh. It will revolutionise travel for the
inhabitants of Meerut, who will benefit from 12 new stations on the 18km section
between Modipuram and Meerut South.

This line is the first of three express rail corridors planned for phase 1 of
the Regional Rapid Transport System (RRTS) programme of the National Capital
Region Transport Corporation Limited (NCRTC), the two others being the
Delhi-Gurugram-Alwar and Delhi-Panipat Corridors. SYSTRA will therefore take
part in the design of an unprecedented regional express rail network.

We will act as Detailed Design Consultant for Civil, Architectural and E&M Works
on behalf of NCRTC. This involves 5 of the 16 main elevated stations of the new
RRTS, 2 of the metro stations (integrated in the line so as to better serve
Meerut), as well as the section in viaduct linking Duhai station to the
maintenance site.

The teams are responsible for coordination and overall project management, the
Detailed Design of structures, architecture and electromechanical equipment of
the stations, but also for the viaducts designed using BIM, review of the
current alignment, Property development, Detailed Design of Multimodal design
facilities, Survey & geotechnical studies, Preparation of bill of quantity
(BOQ), and even tender assistance and Detailed Design of track supporting
structures.

Thus, the Indian capital will have in 2023 a new rapid and local service (up to
180km/h) with a total length of 82km, covered in 55 minutes from one end to the
other, half the time it currently takes, with trains running every 5-10 minutes.
This will remove an estimated 100,000 vehicles from local roads and transport
several hundred thousand passengers per day.
