Now it is going to be easier for the people of Ghaziabad and Greater Noida to reach the Noida International Airport being built in Jewar. Namo Bharat train was first started in Ghaziabad. After this, this service reached Meerut and now Namo Bharat Metro has started running till Delhi also. Now there is a plan to take this rapid train to Jewar Airport. Under this, an elevated track will be built from Ghaziabad to the airport via Greater Noida West, Sector Alpha-1 and Kasna.
The first corridor of Namo Bharat Train has been started from Sahibabad to New Ashok Nagar, and now this project will be extended to Jewar Airport. An elevated track will be built through Siddharth Nagar in Ghaziabad till Greater Noida West, Sector Alpha-1 and Kasna. Work on this project will start as soon as approval is received from the Central Government.
This 72.4 km long elevated track will pass through 22 stations, of which 11 will be Namo Bharat and 11 will be metro stations. In future, the number of these stations can go up to 35. Both Namo Bharat and Metro trains will run on this track with six coaches each. This project is targeted to be completed by 2031, with an estimated cost of Rs 20,000 crore.
Under this project, Aqua Metro line will also connect with Namo Bharat train. Aqua Line will be extended from Sector-51 of Noida to Knowledge Park-5. Going forward, it will become even easier to reach Knowledge Park-5 of Greater Noida through the track of Namo Bharat train connected to Noida International Airport.
In the first phase, a 39.39 km long track will be built, which will connect Ecotech-6 in Ghaziabad and Greater Noida West. In the second phase, Ecotech-6 will be connected to the airport by making a 32.90 kilometer track. However, now it has been decided to build both these phases together, so that the project can be completed on time.
