Namo Bharat corridor has sent land price soaring in Meerut, says NCRTC
The corporation which is overseeing the rail project said land rates in areas within a two-kilometre radius of operational Namo Bharat stations have jumped from ₹8,000 - ₹12,000 per square yard to ₹12,000- ₹20,000.
The 82-kilometre corridor connecting Delhi to Meerut via Ghaziabad has improved connectivity, positioning Meerut as a growing real estate destination.
"When the Namo Bharat project was conceptualised, one of the aims was to enable polycentric development in the National Capital Region . We are also harnessing the potential of Transit-Oriented Development in the region to foster vibrant, liveable communities," NCRTC managing director Shalabh Goel said.
The improved connectivity has led to increased demand for plotted developments, mid-rise apartments, and gated communities in Meerut. Increased chances of jobs and education hubs in NCR are also attracting younger professionals and homebuyers.
The corporation said that the Meerut Development Authority's 2031 Master Plan has complemented the growth by earmarking 3,273 hectares of land for Transit-Oriented Development.
Of this, 2,442 hectares have already been designated into TOD zones and special development areas to be serviced by both the Namo Bharat corridor and the upcoming Meerut Metro.
"These areas are being developed as mixed-use hubs, featuring residential, commercial, educational and healthcare facilities within walkable distance from transit stations," NCRTC said in a statement.
Pritam Mishra, a senior vice president at Paras Buildtech, said, "Property prices in areas along the Namo Bharat route have appreciated by 35 to 40 per cent, reflecting a structural shift driven by infrastructure-led demand."

Bid to revamp Delhi-Karnal road for Namo Bharat Work
New Delhi: The National Capital Regional Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has invited three bids for the widening and restoration of the Delhi-Panipat-Karnal Road before taking up the construction of the Delhi-Panipat-Karnal Namo Bharat corridor under phase I of the regional rapid transit system (RRTS). Tired of too many ads? go ad free now When the construction of the 136km-long RRTS corridor starts, certain surface road sections may need to be barricaded or diverted, narrowing the carriageway for the traffic. To minimise disruptions and ensure smooth traffic flow, road widening activities are carried out in advance as a pre-construction activity, said officials. This step helps reduce inconvenience to commuters and facilitates easier movement during the construction while translating into wider roads for commuters later. "The scope of work includes all civil works related to widening and carpeting of the road, new road construction and repair. It also includes the construction of RCC drains and providing and laying RCC Hume pipes," said an official. The tender document has specified in detail all the precautions and safety measures the contractor will have to ensure during the construction. The contractor will be responsible for ensuring strict adherence to all procedures as per the SHE manual. About 100km of the RRTS corridor work is planned in Haryana while the other 36km traverses through Delhi. NCRTC has divided the entire 136km stretch into three sections and invited different bids for each section for speedy and efficient work. The first section is between Sarai Kale Khan and Alipur, the second between Alipur and before Samalkha, and the third section is between Samalkha and Karnal New ISBT. When this Namo Bharat corridor is completed, passengers will be able to travel from Delhi to Karnal in Haryana in just 90 minutes, Kashmere Gate to Murthal in 30, Indraprastha to Sonipat in mere 35 minutes and Kashmere Gate to Panipat within an hour. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The proposed corridor will originate from Sarai Kale Khan in southeast Delhi and terminate at New ISBT in Karnal, with seven of the 18 stations in the national capital. Besides Sarai Kale Khan, the other Delhi stations are Indraprastha, Kashmere Gate, Jharoda Kalan, Bhalswa Chowk, Alipur and Narela. Two depots, one each at Murthal and Ganjbar, have been planned to support operations. The first Namo Bharat corridor, Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut, is already partially operational. Of the 82km corridor, a 55km-long section is currently operational.

Ghaziabad: Survey to draw plan for transit zones along RRTS corridor begins
Ghaziabad: A survey has been initiated to prepare a zonal plan for the transit-oriented development (TOD) zones along the corridor of the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS), and it's being coordinated by the Ghaziabad Development Authority and officials of the NCR Transport Corporation (NCRTC) that is developing the RRTS project, officials said on Tuesday. The RRTS project spans 82km to link three cities: Delhi, Ghaziabad, and Meerut with the Namo Bharat trains. Of the 24 stations, Ghaziabad has eight fully functional RRTS stations. (HT Photos) On Monday, the GDA and the NCRTC officials following a meeting decided that all help will be extended for smooth preparation of the plan. Officials said that the zonal plan is being prepared by an NCRTC hired consultant. GDA media coordinator Rudresh Shukla said that the NCRTC has been tasked to prepare a zonal plan for the TOD zones along the RRTS corridors. 'The survey for the zonal plan has been initiated, and GDA will provide all help to ensure that the consultant gets access to all details including that of the Master Plan.' The RRTS project spans 82km to link three cities: Delhi, Ghaziabad, and Meerut with the Namo Bharat trains. Of the 24 stations, Ghaziabad has eight fully functional RRTS stations. The eight RRTS stations in Ghaziabad are at Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, Guldhar, Duhai, Duhai Depot, Muradnagar, Modinagar (south), and Modinagar (north) GDA officials said the TOD zones have been defined as an influence zone area within a 1.5km radius from the existing RRTS stations in Ghaziabad. The TOD zones along eight RRTS stations have been defined according to the state government's TOD policy and also made part of the draft Master Plan 2031 by GDA. Puneet Vats, chief public relation officer of NCRTC, said: 'The process for preparation of the zonal plan has been initiated, and it is expected to get complete within a year.' The Uttar Pradesh government's TOD policy, notified in 2022, has defined TOD zones, or mixed land use zones, for the development of residential, commercial, and other types of construction. 'The zonal plan for the TOD zones will also include two special development areas (SDA) which are proposed near the RRTS corridor,' Shukla added. According to officials, one of the SDAs is about 510.56 hectares and proposed in Guldhar, while the other is about 549.5 hectares in Duhai. These two areas will also have provisions for a higher floor area ratio and mixed land use like the influence zones. The zonal plans are subordinate plans attached to a master plan. While the master plan focuses on the macro-level plan for a city, the zonal plans focus on specific micro details of land usages, infrastructure facilities, and development within a zone.
