Infrastructure is one of the powerful pillars of #AatmaNirbharBharat, envisioned by Hon’ble Prime Minister. It’s a matter of great pride that RRTS high speed, high frequency, high tech commuter trains are being manufactured by Bombardier(India) in tune with #MakeInIndia policy.

I was delighted to unveil the look of India’s first RRTS train today. The environment-friendly, energy-efficient trains will improve quality of life in National Capital Region, accelerate economic growth, decongest Delhi and open up new vistas of economic opportunities.

It will reduce air pollution, carbon footprint & accidents. The state-of-the-art rolling stock is first of its kind in India designed with maximum speed of 180 kmph. Trains will be lightweight, air-conditioned & safe.

Each car will have six automatic plug-in type wide doors, three on each side for ease of access & exit. Design of train’s nose has been inspired by New Delhi’s iconic Lotus Temple, which allows sustainable aerodynamics.

Equipped with modern amenities, the RRTS rolling stock will be unique amalgamation of new-age technology and India’s rich heritage. Prototype is scheduled to roll off production line in 2022.

First batch will arrive in March & commercial operation commence in December 2022 after rigorous testing & certification.

Entire rolling stock for Delhi-Meerut RRTS & Meerut Metro will be manufactured at Bombardier(India) Savli plant in Gujarat.

They got the order in Global Bidding Process. Manufacture of 100% trains & over 80% it’s components in value terms will be in India.

Foundation of 82 km long Delhi–Ghaziabad–Meerut Corridor, the first RRTS corridor in India was laid by Hon’ble PM on 8 March, 2019.

It will bring down the travel time between Delhi to Meerut to just 55 minutes with 14 stoppages on way and 35 minutes by Express Service. It takes 3-4 hours by road at present.

Heartiest congratulations to NCRTC, Bombardier(India) & all other stakeholders who have worked hard even during present challenging times under COVID-19 pandemic and are fully committed to deliver project in time to enhance Ease in Living to citizens!

Visited LightHouse Project site (LHP) at Perumbakkam in Chennai today. Hon’ble PM laid the foundation of this work of constructing 1,152 G+5 houses on 1 January 2021. Ms Sirke is using Precast Concrete Construction Technology from Finland to deliver this work in less than a year.

Was extremely impressed to see the progress on site. On the one hand, raft, base concrete slab etc are going for 4 towers, precast elements like roof slab, hollow columns, stairs etc are being cast in a temporary factory type of set up around 200 metres away from the site.

A Third Party expert body will be monitoring the quality.

Ms Sirke’s senior official told me that they guarantee life for 100 years & if maintained well, these houses will last for many more years. Could observe resource efficiency, speed & meticulous precision work on site.

Visited the Integrated Command & Control Centre (ICCC) developed by Chennai Smart City today. As a brain & nervous system of the city, it is delivering many services to improve quality of life of citizens.

For example flood control & rain water monitoring on real time basis with sensors/cameras help in better preparedness & quick response to any calamity.
It is used for solid waste management.

Garbage collection vehicles are tracked, health of 210 water bodies measured, citizens' grievances managed. It is also being used as a citizen service portal. Many other applications like citizens’ safety, traffic & public transport services, water/sewer SCADA are getting added.
