Meerut, Feb. 22 -- The 82-kilometre Namo Bharat rapid rail corridor across the National Capital Region is fully ready for operations with Prime Minister Narendra Modi set to inaugurate the high-speed link on Sunday.

The modern transit line will connect Delhi to Meerut in just 55 minutes using trains designed for speeds up to 160 km/hour.

Stretching from Delhi's Sarai Kale Khan to Meerut's Modipuram, the corridor is expected to accelerate economic, social, and urban development across the National Capital Region (NCR) and western Uttar Pradesh.

Developed by the National Capital Region Transport Corporation, the project represents India's first Namo Bharat corridor to run across its entire length from one end to the other.
