Trial Runs Underway:

Namo Bharat trains have already carried 66 lakh passengers since operations began on October 21, 2023. Trials between Meerut South and Shatabdi Nagar started in February. Delhi section trials (Anand Vihar to Sarai Kale Khan) will begin soon. Metro Integration for Meerut: The Meerut Metro service will operate using the same infrastructure, with extensive trial runs already in progress, further improving regional connectivity.
