New Rail Projects to Cut Travel Time Between Delhi and Uttarakhand Regions
Three major rail projects aim to enhance connectivity between Delhi and Uttarakhand's Himalayan region. The Rishikesh-Karnaprayag railway, about 75% complete, features 105 km of tunnels and will reduce travel from Rishikesh to Karnaprayag from six to around two hours. The proposed Namo Bharat corridors plan to cut travel times between Delhi and nearby cities like Karnal and Bawal significantly. These projects are expected to improve regional travel efficiency and support economic growth across the National Capital Region and Uttarakhand.
