The Delhi Government has not agreed to provide financial support for the Delhi-SNB and Delhi-Panipat Regional Rapid Transit System corridors. In a written reply to a question, Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Hardeep Singh Puri told Rajya Sabha on Monday that in absence of the nod, both corridors have not been approved by the Central Government and "the question of delay in completion of the corridors does not arise."

The question asked by Rajya Sabha member Kartikeya Sharma was regarding the current status of the Alwar-Delhi-Panipat Rapid Rail Project and whether there is a delay in the completion of the project.

 "The Detailed Project Report (DPR) with approval and financial commitment of Government of Haryana for Delhi-Panipat Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridor and approval with financial commitment of Government of Haryana and Government of Rajasthan for Delhi-SNB (Shahjahanpur-Neemrana-Behror) RRTS corridor which is part of Delhi-Alwar RRTS corridor, have been received," Puri said in the written reply.

 However, the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD), has not agreed to provide financial support for Delhi-SNB and Delhi-Panipat RRTS corridors, the minister added.

 According to him, the National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB) has identified two other RRTS corridors — Delhi-Faridabad-Ballabgarh-Palwal and Delhi-Bahadurgarh-Rohtak.

 Puri also said that he has been informed by the Ministry of Railways that surveys have been sanctioned for the Delhi-Agra elevated high speed RRTS and Delhi-Rewari-Jaipur (speed up to 220 kmph) RRTS.
