Haryana clears Delhi-Panipat RRTS corridor

The Haryana cabinet has approved the implementation of the Delhi-Panipat Regional Rapid Transport System (RRTS) corridor with a length of 103.02 km with 17 stations on the corridor. The construction and commissioning of the RRTS will be undertaken in two stages Sarai Kale Khan to Murthal, including Murthal depot (58.28 km), and Murthal to Panipat, including Panipat depot (44.74 km). The project will enable efficient and effective movement of a large number of train users into densely populated clusters and provide important links to residents of urban/sub-urban nodes in Haryana while bringing an accelerated economic development of these urban nodes. The cabinet has also approved to permit purchasable FAR of up to 1.25 within the project influence zone in the state. Since the sale of purchasable FAR is directly attributed to the development of the RRTS, it has been decided that 80 per cent of the revenue from the sale of additional FAR for the designated mixed-use areas will be shared with the RRTS project.
