Kamal Nath gives “in-principle” approval to the concept proposal of Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) for NCR; emphasizes on need to focus on effective sub-urbanization in the region
Urban Development Minister Mr. Kamal Nath has approved “in-principle” the concept proposal of implementing Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) in three important corridors in the NCR viz. Delhi-Gurgaon-Alwar, Delhi-Sonepat-Panipat and Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut. Mr. Nath directed the NCR Planning Board(NCRPB) to explore innovative funding mechanisms like exploiting transit-oriented development potential, monetization of land and PPP model for implementing these capital-intensive projects. He said that high speed connectivity between the regional centres of NCR and Delhi will make the physical distance shorter and allow these regional towns to capture the economic impulse and density generated by Delhi. He emphasized that the RRTS should be integrated with the Delhi Metro. This faster connectivity will reduce pressure on the National Capital’s infrastructure by opening up the region including regional housing market.
