Gurugram-Noida Rapid Rail: 38-Minute Travel, 6 Stations, ₹15,000 Cr Project

• NCRTC plans a rapid rail corridor connecting Gurugram's IFFCO Chowk to Surajpur, Greater Noida, bypassing Delhi.
• The project aims to reduce travel time between Gurugram and Noida to just 38 minutes, with 6 proposed stations.
• Estimated to cost ₹15,000 crore, this will be Haryana's third Rapid Rail Transit System (RRTS) corridor.
• The corridor will link IGI Airport with the upcoming Noida International Airport in Jewar via high-speed rail.
• Haryana government suggests an underground line in Gurgaon due to high land costs, differing from NCRTC's elevated proposal.

Why It Matters: New rapid rail promises Gurugram-Noida in 38 mins, easing NCR commute and connecting airports.
