RAJASTHAN JOINS ‘NAMO BHARAT’ NETWORK AS RRTS TO CONNECT ALWAR WITH NEW DELHI

Following a consensus between the governments of Rajasthan and Haryana, Rajasthan is now set to become part of the ‘Namo Bharat’ network, paving the way for the operation of ‘Namo Bharat’ trains between Delhi and Alwar.
Starting from Sarai Kale Khan in New Delhi, the Delhi-Gurugram-SNB-Alwar corridor will pass through Munirka, Aerocity, Gurugram, and Bawal, then reach Khairthal and Alwar via SNB.
Simultaneously, another section extending from SNB will be developed up to Sotanala through Neemrana and Behror, officials from the Rajasthan Chief Minister’s Office said on Monday.
The project is expected to directly benefit major industrial hubs in the National Capital Region, including Bhiwadi and Neemrana in Rajasthan, while also creating new investment, employment, and economic growth opportunities.
Under the Integrated Transport Plan for the National Capital Region, efforts are underway to connect major cities through a modern, high-speed transportation network.
In the first phase, the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut, Delhi-Gurugram-SNB-Alwar, and Delhi-Panipat-Karnal corridors are being developed as part of the ‘Namo Bharat’ network.
The proposed network will span 196 kilometres and include 22 major stations, significantly strengthening regional connectivity.
In Rajasthan alone, the project will cover 91 kilometres and include six proposed stations.
