To bridge the connectivity gap between the national capital Delhi and Alwar, a fort city in Rajasthan, the National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB) has planned Delhi-Rewari-Alwar as one of the Rapid Rail Transit Corridors. The Delhi-Alwar RRTS will connect satellite towns such as Manesar, Rewari and Alwar and link with four Delhi metro lines. To be built at an expense of Rs 37,000 crore, the project is likely to give a boost to the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC). Once operational, the distance between Delhi and Alwar will be covered in 104 minutes. At present, it takes 3.5 hours. The project is developed by the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC), a joint venture company of the Central government and the state governments of Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi.
