Eight limited-stop Namo Bharat trains to slash Delhi-Meerut commute from Monday
· India · Indian Express, India Today
Eight additional limited-stop Namo Bharat trains will begin running during peak hours from Monday, cutting the Anand Vihar-Ghaziabad journey to eight minutes and the Anand Vihar-Begumpul trip to 36 minutes. These fast trains will stop only at Sarai Kale Khan, Anand Vihar, Ghaziabad, Begumpul and Modipuram, covering the 82-km Delhi-Meerut corridor in under 50 minutes. Services will operate at 8 am, 8.30 am, 6 pm and 6.30 pm from both Sarai Kale Khan and Modipuram terminals during morning and evening rush hours. The move aims to reduce commute times for office-goers and students while encouraging public transport use amid rising pollution.
Why it matters
The limited-stop services will directly benefit daily commuters travelling between Delhi and Ghaziabad or Meerut, cutting travel time by up to 24 minutes and offering a faster alternative to regular trains that stop at all stations.
