Rapid Rail DPR for IGI to Noida Airport expected by March

The detailed project report (DPR) for the rapid rail transport system, connecting Delhi?s Indira Gandhi International Airport to the upcoming Noida International Airport, is set to be concluded by March, marking a significant step forward in the project's progress.

Passengers will be able to seamlessly travel between the two airports in the national capital region within 80 minutes, eliminating the need for interchange on the rail line. Shailendra Bhatia, the Officer on Special Duty and Nodal Officer for Noida International Airport in the U.P. government, revealed that the National Capital Region Transport Corporation conducted a feasibility study, approved by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on December 19. The Chief Minister has now given instructions to prepare the detailed project report within three months.

The estimated cost of the project is Rs 160 billion, and the timeline for completion is expected to be "three to four years" once the DPR is finalised.

Noida International Airport is progressing towards meeting its deadline for the launch of flight operations by the end of 2024. In a recent development, the airport entered into a strategic partnership agreement with Akasa Air, and in November, it signed an agreement with IndiGo to serve as its launch carrier.

According to Kumar Harsh, the Special Secretary and Director of Civil Aviation in the U.P. government, Uttar Pradesh is poised to receive an additional six airports in 2024. These airports include Aligarh, Azamgarh, Chitrakoot, Moradabad, Saharanpur, and Shravasti.
