The newly inaugurated Delhi-Meerut Namo Bharat Corridor recorded a surge in ridership, with a 70% increase over average daily numbers, exceeding 100,000 passengers on its first full weekday of operations.
Begumpul station in Meerut emerged as the busiest stop, largely due to its central location in Meerut's market district and the convenient interchange with Meerut Metro services, according to the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC).
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the full 82-km stretch of the corridor, aimed to enhance regional connectivity at speeds up to 180 kmph between Delhi and key urban areas including Sahibabad and Meerut.
