New Delhi: The long-awaited Jewar airport in Greater Noida, which got the Centre’s final nod on Monday, could be connected by at least two different train systems to Delhi. The UP government is examining the feasibility of having a dedicated Rapid Rail Transit System (RRTS) corridor from Sarai Kale Khan to the proposed airport site. Three RRTS routes have already been approved from Sarai Kale Khan hub to Meerut, Panipat and Alwar.
The Jewar RRTS is being considered in addition to the Greater Noida metro which will be extended to the airport site and another direct link between IGI Airport to Delhi’s second airport, for which a train is among the various possibilities. The airport will also be connected to the Eastern Peripheral Expressway, which connects Palwal with Kundli, bypassing Delhi. This site will also get an Aerocity like Delhi’s IGI Airport.
“We are working simultaneously on connectivity to Jewar airport and the timely completion of its first phase in financial year 2022-23. We have asked the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC, which has begun work of RRTS) to examine the feasibility of having a separate line from Sarai Kale Khan to Jewar airport. This rail is faster than metro due to fewer stations where it needs to stop and is well suited for the airport,” Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority chairman Prabhat Kumar told TOI. YEIDA is the nodal authority for building the Jewar airport.
