Which organisation runs the Namo Bharat regional rapid rail service?
- A.Delhi Metro Rail Corporation
- B.National Capital Region Transport Corporation
- C.Rail Vikas Nigam Limited
- D.Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the National Capital Region Transport Corporation, known as NCRTC. It built and runs the Namo Bharat service and it organised Namo Bharat Diwas in New Delhi, where its Managing Director Shalabh Goel welcomed the Union Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs and Power, Manohar Lal. The corporation was set up to give the region a modern, safe, reliable and environment-friendly transport system, and its Chairperson is D. Thara, Secretary of the Department of Capital Development. Option A, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, runs the metro network of the capital and not the regional rapid rail line. Option C builds railway infrastructure but does not operate this corridor, and option D handles catering, ticketing and tourism for the railways. The service carries over 1.1 lakh commuters a day, so the operator is worth remembering with the corridor.
