NHSRCL to build stations at Rewari and Manesar

The National High-Speed Rail Corporation has planned to construct a station at Manesar, Gurgaon, on the Delhi-Ahmedabad Bullet train corridor. Rewari is the only other station proposed in Haryana as the proposed route originates at Dwarka Sector 21 in Delhi and crosses into Gurgaon at Chauma and then runs along the Dwarka Expressway till Ramprastha City (Sector 37D) before turning right to align with the Delhi-Jaipur railway line and crossing the KMP Expressway before joining the Delhi-Jaipur highway at Shahjahanpur toll plaza (Haryana-Rajasthan border).

NHSRCL has chosen the alignment (along the rail line and highway) to ensure that land acquisition is minimal. In such a mega project, maximum time gets spent in acquiring privately owned land. The private landowners in Gurgaon and Rewari agreed to let their land be acquired for the construction of the Bullet train, probably sensing the benefits this project would offer once it is ready. At present, it takes about 14 hours by train from Delhi to Ahmedabad but once the Bullet train project is commissioned, it is expected to be less than four hours with 15 stations at Dwarka (Delhi), IMT Manesar (Gurgaon), Rewari, Behror, Shahpura, Jaipur, Ajmer, Vijaynagar, Bhilwara, Chittorgarh, Udaipur, Dungarpur (all Rajasthan) and Himmatnagar, Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad (Gujarat).
