Rajasthan reviews Rs 7,747 crore Bawal-Behror RRTS plan

The Bawal-Behror section of the Delhi-Gurugram-Rewari-Alwar RRTS corridor has taken centre stage after a review meeting at the Rajasthan State Secretariat in Jaipur, chaired by Chief Secretary V Srinivas.

The meeting examined the supplementary Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the Bawal-Behror stretch, granting state-level approval for the project to move forward.

Officials focused on the financing structure, inter-state cost-sharing between Haryana and Rajasthan, and land costs, as Rajasthan assesses how the corridor fits into the state’s longer-term economic and urban growth plans.

The overall Delhi-Gurugram-Rewari-Alwar corridor is planned to run about 129 km between Sarai Kale Khan and Behror, of which roughly 25 km falls within Rajasthan, covering the state’s industrial belt.

Four stations are currently planned within this stretch: SNB Border (Shahjahanpur-Neemrana-Behror), Shahjahanpur, Neemrana, and Behror.

Authorities at the meeting also discussed ways to mobilise additional resources for the project.

The District Collector of Kotputli-Behror and the CEO of the Behror Industrial Development Authority have been directed to identify measures to help meet the project’s financial requirements.

A separate matter under discussion was the proposed division of costs for the Bawal-Rajasthan border section between the Haryana and Rajasthan governments, given the corridor’s inter-state nature
