In a significant development, the Uttar Pradesh government has granted approval for a groundbreaking Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridor, set to revolutionize connectivity in the National Capital Region (NCR). The 72-kilometer corridor, with an estimated cost of Rs 1,600 crore, will link Ghaziabad’s priority portion to the upcoming Noida International Airport in Jewar. The official sanction was secured during a high-profile meeting chaired by Chief Secretary DS Mishra, marking a crucial step toward bolstering regional connectivity.
Impact on MSMEs and Businesses in NCR:
The approval of the Ghaziabad-Jewar RRTS corridor holds immense potential for businesses, especially MSMEs, in the National Capital Region. Enhanced connectivity between key cities such as Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Meerut, and Delhi, facilitated by the RRTS, is expected to reduce transit times and logistical challenges for businesses. This development aligns with the broader goal of fostering economic growth and attracting investments to the region, positively impacting the business landscape. The efficient transportation network is likely to contribute to the overall economic vibrancy of the NCR, providing businesses with improved access to markets and opportunities.
