NAMO Bharat RRTS: Trial runs of Namo Bharat trains are being conducted from Sahibabad onwards towards Delhi on the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor. Also, Anand Vihar and New Ashok Nagar stations are being prepared for operation.
For power supply in these stations, the auxiliary sub-stations (ASS) installed in the stations have been charged to a capacity of 33 kV. This has ensured power supply for the station’s electrical system, AFC system and other technical works.
Power supply reached from Anand Vihar to New Ashok Nagar
Presently, for power supply to these stations, 33 kV capacity cable has been laid from Ghaziabad Receiving Sub Station (RSS) to Anand Vihar and New Ashok Nagar stations through viaduct and tunnel, after successful energization, power is being supplied to these stations.
ASS room is ready at Sarai Kale Khan station
The supply of electricity from Ghaziabad RSS to Delhi section is a temporary provision. In the coming time, power supply to Delhi section will be done from Sarai Kale Khan Receiving Sub Station (RSS), whose construction work is in the final stage. Power supply to Sarai Kale Khan RSS will be done from the grid of Delhi Transco Limited and Gas Turbine Power Station (GTPS) located at IP State. ASS room has also been completed in Sarai Kale Khan station, the largest station of Delhi section, and it will also be charged soon.
Power supply to stations is done through RSS and ASS. RSS receives electricity from distribution companies and sends it to the ASS built at the station, which ensures power supply at the station. RSS supplies auxiliary power to traction and stations to run trains.
Receiving substations are being built between Delhi and Meerut
5 Receiving Sub Stations (RSS) are being constructed on the RRTS corridor between Delhi and Meerut, out of which Ghaziabad, Muradnagar and Shatabdi Nagar (Meerut) RSSs have been completed, while power supply will also be started from Sarai Kale Khan RSS soon. Apart from this, the fifth RSS is under construction in Modipuram (Meerut).
NCRTC has signed agreements with power transmission corporations in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh for power supply on the RRTS corridor. From these grid substations, power is coming at 220 kV voltage to the receiving substations of NCRTC located at Ghaziabad, Muradnagar and Shatabdi Nagar, from here 25 kV power is being used for running trains and 33 kV power is being used for all other needs of the stations through ASS of RRTS stations.
ASS is being constructed for power supply to all the RRTS and Meerut Metro stations on Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS Corridor, which will be supplied with power from the designated nearest Receiving Sub Stations (RSS).
Trial runs are going on smoothly in the Delhi section from New Ashok Nagar to Sahibabad. Once this section becomes operational, the operational section of the corridor will extend to 54 km. This section will connect important stations like Anand Vihar and New Ashok Nagar, thereby significantly increasing the number of transit options for passengers in the National Capital Region (NCR). This extension will ensure greater convenience, streamlined connectivity and better accessibility for passengers in NCR. Currently, a 42 km corridor is operational with 9 stations, which include Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, Guldhar, Duhai, Duhai Depot, Muradnagar, Modinagar South, Modi Nagar North and Meerut South.
