In Pics: Delhi-Meerut RRTS Rapid Rail unveiled, India's fastest Metro Train

India is all set to get its first Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) rail by next year, the train has been designed to provide an improved travelling experience for passengers.

Phase 1 of manufacturing of the train started back in 2021 and is now closing the testing and trial phase to be done by the end of this year.

The new train is supposed to have a total of six coaches which can later be increased to nine and will provide a premium experience to the passengers, with various facilities like Wi-Fi for passengers on board.

The six coaches of the train will have 407 seats in total. The train is capable of accommodating 1500 passengers at once. 

The train's design also takes into account the speed of the train and it is capable of achieving three times the speed of a metro. 

Looking into the numbers, the RRTS train has an average speed of 100 km/hr and a maximum speed of 160 km/hr.

The train is expected to be traversing the tracks by March 2023, covering five stations between Sahibabad, in Ghaziabad District of Uttar Pradesh to Duhai in Uttar Pradesh.

The step seems even more significant after the introduction of Kawach technology and the new Vande Bharat Trains.

Passengers can reach from Delhi to Meerut in less than 1 hour thanks to high speed of the RRTS Rail.
