NCRTC and Blue Dart Explore Parcel Transport via Delhi-Meerut Namo Bharat Corridor
The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) and Blue Dart Express Limited have signed an agreement to explore using the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Namo Bharat corridor for express parcel movement. The collaboration aims to assess operational feasibility, parcel volumes, and station facilities to integrate Blue Dart's delivery network with the regional rail system. This initiative seeks to reduce road congestion and vehicular pollution by shifting urban cargo transport to the semi-high-speed rail corridor, which connects major transport hubs across the National Capital Region.
