In a landmark decision, the Haryana Cabinet has given the green light to the development of a 136 km RRTS corridor connecting Delhi to Panipat and Karnal. As a significant leap towards modern public transportation, this project stands to reshape travel dynamics in the region.

Costing over Rs 33,000 crore, the Namo Bharat project's financial framework includes a phased contribution from the Haryana Government. The corridor, featuring 11 stations, promises to transform connectivity between urban and semi-urban regions of Haryana and the National Capital Region.
