Haryana Clears 64 km Namo Bharat RRTS Linking NCR Cities

Haryana has cleared a 64 km section of the Namo Bharat Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) that will link cities within the National Capital Region (NCR). The decision follows state level approvals and is aimed at creating a high-speed regional corridor to connect urban centres and satellite towns. The cleared stretch forms part of a broader plan to develop rapid transit across the NCR and to provide a dedicated corridor for regional commuter services.

The cleared segment is expected to align with existing and planned urban transport networks to facilitate interchange and last mile connectivity. Planners are considering interface points with metro services, bus networks and arterial road infrastructure to ensure seamless movement. The corridor is designed to serve peak intercity commuter flows and to offer a reliable alternative to road travel that is subject to congestion. Design work will consider capacity for future growth and service frequency optimisation.

Authorities indicated that the approval will support economic activity by improving access to employment centres and by reducing travel times for daily commuters. Reduced road congestion is anticipated to lower emissions from surface transport and to improve urban air quality over time. The project is also expected to attract investment in transit oriented development in stations and adjacent neighbourhoods, supporting housing and commercial growth. Planners expect station areas to be designed for multimodal access and pedestrian permeability.

Implementation will require coordination among state agencies, central transport bodies and urban local governments to finalise detailed designs, land acquisition and financing. Officials have outlined staged execution and regulatory clearances as next steps, with construction and commissioning dependent on resource mobilisation and contractual arrangements. Continued stakeholder engagement will be necessary to manage impacts on affected communities and to integrate the corridor with broader regional planning objectives. Timely resolution of land and utility issues will be critical to maintain project schedules.

NITI Aayog Unveils Cement Decarbonisation Roadmap

NITI Aayog has released a sector-specific decarbonisation roadmap for cement as part of three green transition reports covering cement, aluminium and MSMEs. The report projects cement production rising to around 2,100 million tonnes by 2070 from 391 million tonnes in 2023, while targeting a reduction in carbon intensity to 0.09–0.13 tCO₂e per tonne. It recommends clinker substitution, refuse-derived fuels, CCUS adoption and carbon trading mechanisms to enable deep decarbonisation. ..
