How long is the Namo Bharat corridor between Delhi and Meerut?
- A.62 km
- B.72 km
- C.82 km
- D.92 km
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 82 km. The Namo Bharat regional rapid rail corridor runs from Delhi to Meerut through Ghaziabad and measures 82 km end to end. The line was opened in stages: trains first ran on a 17-km priority section between Sahibabad and Duhai Depot in October 2023, and the whole corridor was dedicated to the nation on 22 February 2026 along with Meerut Metro. Options A, B and D give lengths of 62 km, 72 km and 92 km, and none of them matches the corridor that NCRTC operates; 62 km and 72 km are shorter than the line that is actually open, while 92 km is longer than the route between the two cities. The corridor has carried more than 4.5 crore passenger journeys and now serves over 1.1 lakh commuters a day, with a record of about 1.68 lakh passengers in a single day, so candidates should fix the figure of 82 km firmly in mind along with the route.
