Ghaziabad city will be the first of the three cities to complete the civil construction work for all its stations falling under the 82km long Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) project, according to officials from the project executing agency, NCR Transport Corporation (NCRTC). They added that the civil construction work for the three remaining stations in Ghaziabad is expected to be finished in the next 3-4 months.

The project will comprise a total of 25 stations, including three in Delhi and eight in Ghaziabad, in addition to others in Meerut. Five stations in Ghaziabad—Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, Guldhar, Duhai, and Duhai Depot—are already complete and form part of the 17km priority section, which will commence passenger operations in the coming weeks.

Puneet Vats, chief public relations officer of NCRTC, said that work on the remaining three stations in Ghaziabad—Muradnagar, Modinagar (North), and Modinagar (South)—is in advanced stages, and their civil construction is likely to be completed in the next 3-4 months. “Work on stations in Delhi is also progressing rapidly, with the one at Anand Vihar also being in advanced stages,” Vats said.

According to officials, the RRTS stabling yard at Jangpura in Delhi is proposed to have a station for passengers, benefiting commuters using the Ring Road.
