Namo Bharat Corridor Proposed from Delhi to Bawal-Behror to Connect Industrial Hubs

New Delhi, October 25, 2026: A proposed Namo Bharat Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridor from Delhi to Bawal and Behror is aimed at reducing traffic congestion on the Delhi-Jaipur Highway and improving connectivity across southern Haryana and adjoining areas of Rajasthan. The project, estimated to cost around ₹32,000 crore, is expected to receive in-principle approval from the Central Government next week.A key meeting is scheduled to take place in New Delhi under the chairmanship of Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal. The proposed corridor could provide a faster public transport alternative for commuters travelling between Delhi, Gurugram, Dharuhera, Bawal and Behror. These areas include important industrial centres that attract large numbers of employees and business travellers every day. The Delhi-Jaipur Highway carries heavy daily traffic.The proposed rapid rail service is expected to offer an alternative to road travel and help reduce pressure on the highway. First Phase to Focus on Connectivity up to Bawal Under the proposed first phase, the corridor will connect Delhi with Gurugram, Dharuhera, Bawal and Behror. In the second phase, the line is proposed to be extended to Alwar in Rajasthan. The extension could make travel between southern Haryana and Rajasthan more convenient while supporting industrial activity in the region.Bawal and Dharuhera are home to numerous industrial units, attracting workers from Delhi, Gurugram, Rewari and nearby areas. The proposed rapid rail corridor could reduce dependence on road transport and help shorten commuting times for employees and other regular travellers. The soil testing required for the construction of tracks and supporting pillars along the route has already been completed, according to the report. Efforts by Rao Inderjit Singh and Other Representatives Union Minister Rao Inderjit Singh has been actively advocating approval for the project.Rewari MLA Laxman Singh Yadav has also raised the issue in the Haryana Assembly and written to the Chief Minister regarding the proposal. The Haryana Government has stated that budgetary provisions have been made to advance the project. Two Other Rapid Rail Corridors Proposed in Haryana Apart from the Delhi-Bawal-Behror corridor, two other RRTS corridors have been proposed in Haryana: Delhi-Panipat-Karnal and Gurugram-Faridabad-Jewar Airport. Delhi-Panipat-Karnal Corridor The proposed Delhi-Panipat-Karnal corridor will be approximately 136.3 kilometres long.It is planned to begin in Delhi and pass through major locations in Haryana, including Kundli, Sonipat, Ganaur and Samalkha, before reaching Karnal. The corridor could provide faster and more convenient transport for people travelling between Delhi, Sonipat, Panipat and Karnal. It is also expected to support industrial development, trade and employment opportunities along the route. Gurugram-Faridabad-Jewar Airport Corridor The second proposed corridor will connect Gurugram with Noida International Airport at Jewar and is expected to be approximately 64 kilometres long.The route is planned to begin at Eco Chowk in Gurugram, pass through key locations in Faridabad, including Ghatta and Bata Chowk, and continue into Uttar Pradesh towards Jewar International Airport. The proposed connection aims to improve airport access for passengers travelling from Gurugram and Faridabad. It could also support industrial and commercial activity in the surrounding areas. Project Timeline Depends on Government Approvals If the proposed corridors are developed alongside the Delhi-Gurugram-Dharuhera-Bawal-Behror route, they could form part of a high-speed public transport network connecting major industrial and urban centres across Haryana and neighbouring regions.However, the final project plans, approvals, construction schedules and operational timelines will depend on the necessary government clearances.
