Meerut to Sahibabad in 30 minutes: Meerut South RRTS station opened for passenger operations

With the commencement of Namo Bharat train services from Meerut South, passengers will be able to reach Sahibabad in just 30 minutes, instead of the current 1.5 to two hours.

Meerut South station will serve as the gateway to Meerut and commuters from Mohiuddinpur, Bhudbaral, Bahadurpur, Aminagar, Chhajjupur, Kharkhoda, Kadarabad and nearby areas are expected to benefit with the station becoming operational.

Officials said the one-way discounted standard class fare for the Namo Bharat train will be Rs 110 from Sahibabad to Meerut South, and Rs 90 from Ghaziabad to Meerut South.

The Meerut South RRTS station features the largest parking facility in Uttar Pradesh along the RRTS corridor, said officials. This includes two parking lots, situated on either side of the station’s entry/exit, covering approximately 13,000 square meters area. These lots can accommodate around 1,200 four-wheelers and two-wheelers, officials added.

NCRTC officials said a dedicated parking space for auto-rickshaws is also available. “The station has been designed to facilitate easy pickup and drop-off for vehicles arriving from both Meerut and Delhi, with direct access from the main road,” said NCRTC in a statement.

In addition to RRTS trains, the station will serve local metro services for the Meerut region. The station has three tracks — two for RRTS trains and one for Metro services — across three platforms.

The station comprises three levels: ground, mezzanine, and platform. It spans approximately 215 meters in length, 36 meters in width, and 22 meters in height.

The Namo Bharat trains will operate from 6am to 10pm on the entire section from Sahibabad to Meerut South. The first train in both directions will depart at 6am while the last train will leave the terminal stations — Sahibabad and Meerut South — at 10pm.
