DELHI (Metro Rail News): The rapid rail transit system known as RAPIDX is now being built along the Delhi-Meerut corridor thanks to a second 500 crore contribution from the Delhi government. According to senior Delhi government officials, the money came from the environment compensation fee (ECC) that is collected from cargo vehicles entering the capital.

Out of the entire contribution of 1180 crore rupees for the first corridor of the Delhi-Meerut RRTS, the Delhi government has contributed 765 crore rupees.

To improve connectivity and reduce travel time and congestion, the government is also planning two more corridors: one connecting Delhi to Alwar and another connecting Delhi to Panipat. These corridors will benefit satellite towns and help decrease pollution on highways.

The Delhi Government was given permission by the supreme court to use the ECC budget to pay for its portion of the first corridor in April of this year. In response to the court’s ruling, the government made the first payment of 265 crore rupees in March 2019. Later, the remaining 415 crore rupee payment for the Meerut corridor would be made. 13 km of the 82.2 km long Delhi-Meerut project is inside Delhi’s administrative boundaries.
