Rapid Rail: A survey has been initiated to connect the Noida International Airport in Jewar, Uttar Pradesh, with the Namo Bharat Train (Rapid Rail) in Ghaziabad. Along with the survey, soil testing, station layout, and track determination are also underway. This track will allow both Rapid Rail and Metro to run.
NCRTC, the National Capital Region Transport Corporation, will present a detailed project report by March. The Noida Airport will be connected to Ghaziabad through Rapid Rail. NCRTC has already prepared the feasibility report for this. This route will connect Ghaziabad, Greater Noida West, and Yamuna Authority region. Approval has been given to the Rapid Rail from Ghaziabad RRTS station to Noida Airport via Greater Noida West and Pari Chowk.
According to the feasibility report, the 72.2 km long corridor will have 12 stations. The Rapid Rail will run alongside the Aqua Line at Pari Chowk. In the first phase, a 37.15 km long corridor will be constructed between Ghaziabad and Sector Ecotech-5 (Kasna), which will be completed by this year. The second phase will include a 35.11 km corridor from Sector Ecotech-6 to the airport, which will also be completed by this year.
The first phase of the corridor from Ghaziabad to Kasna will cost INR 9,798 crores. The second phase from Kasna to the airport will cost INR 6,391 crores. The central government will contribute 20% of the cost, while the state government will pay 50%. The remaining amount will be funded by YEIDA and Greater Noida Authority.
Officials from NCRTC recently presented the progress of the work done so far to officials from the Yamuna Authority. They mentioned that the survey has started to prepare the Detailed Project Report (DPR). Soil testing is being conducted to determine the location of the stations and pillars. In addition, the track alignment is being determined. The metro will also run on this track. The NCRTC team is collecting data for the DPR. NCRTC officials will present the DPR in February, and Authority officials will provide their suggestions. After that, the DPR will be submitted.
उत्तर प्रदेश के जेवर स्थित नोएडा अंतरराष्ट्रीय हवाई अड्डे को गाजियाबाद में नमो भारत ट्रेन (रैपिड रेल) से जोड़ने के लिए सर्वेक्षण शुरू हो गया है। इसके साथ ही मृदा परीक्षण, स्टेशनों का लेआउट और ट्रैक का निर्धारण भी चल रहा है। यह रेलवे लाइन गाजियाबाद, ग्रेटर नोएडा पश्चिम, पूर्व और यमुना प्राधिकरण क्षेत्रों को जोड़ेगी। इसके अलावा, अगले महीने एनसीआरटीसी बोर्ड एक विस्तृत परियोजना रिपोर्ट प्रस्तुत करेगा। इस परियोजना में 12 स्टेशन होंगे और इसका पहला चरण इस साल होने की उम्मीद है। इस परियोजना की कुल लागत 9,798 करोड़ रुपये होगी और केंद्र सरकार 20 प्रतिशत और राज्य सरकार 50 प्रतिशत का भुगतान करेगी। इससे नोएडा अंतरराष्ट्रीय हवाई अड्डे की सुविधा बढ़ेगी और रेलवे और मेट्रो इस रेलवे लाइन पर दौड़ सकेंगे।
