Rajasthan has moved closer to getting its first link on the Delhi-Gurugram-Rewari-SNB-Behror Regional Rapid Transit System, with the opening phase now planned up to Behror. On June 9, 2026, the state said Rajasthan and Haryana had agreed on a cost-sharing structure for the corridor, allowing work to begin on the project's financial and cost framework for the first phase.
For Jaipur readers, the importance is regional but real. The project is aimed at improving fast public transport between the National Capital Region and Rajasthan's industrial belt, especially around Shahjahanpur, Neemrana and Behror, where manufacturing, warehousing and commuter movement have all been expanding.
Quick Highlights
- The first Rajasthan-linked phase of the RRTS corridor is planned up to Behror.
- Rajasthan and Haryana have agreed on cost sharing for the project.
- The proposed corridor is about 130 km long with 19 stations.
- Three stations are planned in Rajasthan: Shahjahanpur, Neemrana and Behror.
- The state says travel from Sarai Kale Khan in New Delhi to Behror could take about 1 hour 50 minutes after completion.
How the cost sharing is structured
The release sets out a two-part funding split. For the Bawal-to-Rajasthan-border section, Haryana will bear 50 percent of the project cost. For the stretch from the Rajasthan border to Behror, the full cost will be borne by the Rajasthan government and its related institutions.
That matters because transport-corridor projects often slow down when inter-state financing is unclear. A defined cost-sharing arrangement does not complete the project, but it does remove a key structural hurdle and gives the corridor a clearer path into the next stage of planning.
| RRTS item | Current project detail |

| Total planned stations | 19 |
| Rajasthan stations | Shahjahanpur, Neemrana, Behror |
| Bawal to Rajasthan border cost | 50 percent to be borne by Haryana |
| Rajasthan border to Behror cost | To be borne by Rajasthan and its related institutions |
| Indicative Sarai Kale Khan to Behror travel time | About 1 hour 50 minutes |
Why this matters beyond the tracks
The bigger promise of the corridor is not just a faster trip. The project is being framed as a transport backbone for the Rajasthan side of the NCR, including industrial zones in Shahjahanpur, Neemrana, Behror, the Japanese Zone, Ghiloth and the KBNIR investment region, along with emerging logistics hubs.
If the corridor is delivered as outlined, it could help bring quicker and safer public transport into one of Rajasthan's most strategically placed growth belts. That would matter for workers, investors, freight-linked services and the wider pattern of urban and industrial development between the Jaipur side of the state and the NCR-facing edge of Rajasthan.
