Plans for a new Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridor connecting Gurgaon and Noida are moving forward, with the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) submitting a draft detailed project report (DPR) to the Haryana government for review.
The proposed high-speed rail corridor will run between IFFCO Chowk in Gurgaon and Surajpur in Greater Noida and is seen as a key component of a broader connectivity plan aimed at linking Delhi’s IGI Airport with the upcoming Noida International Airport at Jewar. Once approved, the corridor is expected to significantly ease inter-city travel across the National Capital Region (NCR).
According to the draft DPR, the route will include six stations and will bypass Delhi entirely. It will pass through Sector 54 in Gurgaon, enter Faridabad at Bata Chowk, move via the Sector 85-86 junction, and continue towards Noida sectors 142 and 168 before terminating at Surajpur. The project is estimated to cost around Rs.15,000 crore.
This would be the third RRTS corridor planned through Haryana. Two other corridors: Delhi-Gurgaon-Manesar-Bawal and Delhi-Panipat-Karnal, have already received clearance from the Public Investment Board and are awaiting final approval from the Union Cabinet. The 93-km Delhi–Bawal corridor is projected to cost Rs.32,000 crore, while the 136-km Delhi-Karnal corridor is estimated at Rs.33,000 crore. Both are planned to originate from Sarai Kale Khan, the terminal station of the Delhi-Meerut RRTS line, which is ready for commissioning.
Authorities are also studying possible RRTS links from Sarai Kale Khan or Ghaziabad to Jewar airport. Depending on feasibility outcomes, alignments of other corridors may be adjusted.
The Gurgaon-Noida corridor is expected to integrate with the Delhi–Bawal line at IFFCO Chowk and with the proposed Ghaziabad-Jewar corridor at Surajpur. Travel time between IFFCO Chowk and Faridabad is projected at just 22 minutes, while Gurgaon to Noida could take about 38 minutes.
While NCRTC has proposed an elevated alignment, the Haryana government has suggested making the Gurgaon stretch underground due to dense development and high land costs.
