The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has increased the frequency of Namo Bharat trains on the Delhi-Meerut corridor from every 10 minutes to every 8 minutes between July 30 and August 14. This change includes 52 additional daily train trips to accommodate higher commuter demand during the Shravan month and Kanwar Yatra, when road traffic diversions affect travel. The corridor connects Delhi, Ghaziabad, and Meerut, serving around 100,000 daily riders, with further service increases possible if needed.
