The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has unveiled plans to develop integrated parking and commercial spaces at key stations along the Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridor. This initiative, announced on Saturday, is aimed at enhancing passenger convenience while optimising station areas for commercial use.
NCRTC has invited expressions of interest from developers to lease and develop these spaces at six strategically located stations. The stations included in the initiative are DPS Rajnagar Guldhar, Duhai, Murad Nagar, Modi Nagar South, Modi Nagar North, and Meerut South. The goal is to integrate parking areas with commercial developments such as retail outlets, food courts, offices, service apartments, and studio apartments.
By incorporating commercial facilities within the parking areas, NCRTC aims to create multifunctional hubs that not only meet the immediate needs of passengers but also provide spaces for leisure, work, and short-term stays. This will contribute to a richer commuter experience and increase the utility of station areas.
Developers interested in this opportunity are invited to submit innovative proposals by December 27. Detailed information and application guidelines are available on the NCRTC’s official website.
The project will transform RRTS stations into vibrant commercial centres, offering a blend of improved mobility and business opportunities. Currently, Namo Bharat train services are operational on a 42 km stretch of the RRTS corridor, connecting nine stations from Sahibabad to Meerut South. The full 82 km corridor runs from Delhi’s Sarai Kale Khan to Meerut’s Modipuram. Trial runs are also underway at Anand Vihar and New Ashok Nagar stations in the Delhi section, marking further progress in the phased implementation of the RRTS.
