New railway line to connect Noida Airport with Palwal

A new 60-Km railway line between Chola in Bulandshahr and Rundhi in Palwal has been planned, which would be a significant step forward for regional connectivity. By building this line, key routes to Howrah, Chennai, and Mumbai would be connected to Noida International Airport. The suggested lines should be connected to the airport's ground transportation centre via an underground canal, according to North Central Railway officials. The new line will intersect the Delhi-Howrah line at Chola and continue to the Delhi-Chennai or Mumbai route at Rundhi. Trains from the airport will be able to move in several directions thanks to this strategic alignment. The completion of designs for additional connecting modes by Yamuna International Airport (YIAPL), the airport concessionaire, is contingent upon the receipt of the detailed project report (DPR) from the railroads. The railways requested information on the coordinates of the proposed quick rail line that would link the airport with the Ghaziabad station, according to Arun Vir Singh, CEO of Noida International Airport. They also wanted to hear about the proposed rails inside the airport GTC, which is a central location for a variety of transit options. The railroads will file their DPR when YIAPL delivers its report. After that is finished, work on building the railway rails will begin. Project timeline and cost

An estimated Rs 24 billion will be spent on the project, which would take three years to finish. The whole route, including connecting tracks, will cover over 99 kilometres, with the main track between Chola and Rundhi stations being 61 km. Initially serving more than 1.2 lakh passengers, the proposed route will have stops at Rundhi, Chandhat, Jewar Khadar, Airport, Jahangirpur, Bighapur, and Chola. Objectives and aspirations Five railway flyovers will be built as part of the project, two on the Chennai-Delhi line and three on the Howrah route, to seamlessly connect with the current network that travels through Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. Along with 45 small road crossings, there will be a large bridge that crosses the Yamuna River. The alignment, according to officials, is intended to cause as little disturbance as possible to already-existing buildings and populated areas. Additionally, it will strive to lessen obstacles to land acquisition and avoid getting in the way of the Eastern Peripheral Motorway. The terminal building and the airport station will be connected, making passenger transfers simple. Additionally, the alignment will enhance access to important places, such as the multimodal transportation hub close to Dadri. This line is anticipated to be serviced by fast trains like Vande Bharat, which will connect locations like New Delhi, Agra, Kanpur, and Lucknow.

The proposal to connect the Noida airport with existing lines at Palwal and Chola stations was approved by the railways last year. The eastern freight corridor, which stretches from Kolkata to Amritsar, passes close to the airport, with Chola station being the nearest point along this corridor. On the western side, Palwal serves as the closest point on the Delhi-Mumbai line.
