NCRTC has floated tenders for designating a team of specialists to supervise further construction and development of the Delhi-Meerut rapid rail corridor project entailing an investment of ₹12,000 crore. The work of checking pressure tolerance of pillars for laying the foundation of the corridor's route has also been started. Group General Manager, NCRTC, Sudhir Sharma, said in a media statement, that both the Uttar Pradesh and Central governments have given the final nod for the project, and they will invest Rs 5,000 crore and ₹6, 000 crore, respectively, while the Delhi government will chip in ₹1,000 crore. Though the project work started following the first installment of the planned budget, NCRTC faced hurdles in the execution in the absence of specialists. The design verification for 60-km elevated stretch of the corridor has been completed. The pressure tolerance of the route's foundation is being checked and now the engineering, structural work, technical support etc will be supervised only by a special team of experts. Of the total length of 90-km, 30-km will be underground and the remaining 60 km will be on an elevated tracks, and entire rapid rail corridor will house18 stations.
