== History ==
As part of the Integrated Transportation Plan 2032, the [[National Capital Region Planning Board]] (NCRPB) identified eight rail-based rapid transit corridors to improve the efficacy of transportation system in the NCR.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-newdelhi/plan-to-create-highspeed-corridor-for-ncr/article3930790.ece|title=Plan to create high-speed corridor for NCR|date=2012-09-24|work=The Hindu|access-date=2017-09-20|archive-url=https://archive.today/20170920085803/http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-newdelhi/plan-to-create-highspeed-corridor-for-ncr/article3930790.ece|archive-date=20 September 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> These were:
# Delhi - Gurgaon - Rewari - Alwar
# Delhi - Ghaziabad - Meerut
# Delhi - Sonipat - Panipat
# Delhi - Faridabad - Ballabhgarh - Palwal
# Delhi - Bahadurgarh - Rohtak
# Delhi - Shahadra - Baraut
# Ghaziabad - Khurja
# Ghaziabad - Hapur
Of the aforesaid corridors, Delhi-Alwar, Delhi-Panipat and Delhi-Meerut are to be constructed in the first phase. The [[Urban Mass Transit Company]] was commissioned to conduct a feasibility study on 23 March 2010. The study thus submitted was approved by the Planning Board in 2012. The contract was then transferred to NCRTC on 18 January 2017 to carry the study forward.<ref name="ppt">{{Cite report |title=Stateholders' Workshop for Delhi-Gurgaon-Rewar-Alwar RRTS Corridor |url=http://ncrtc.in/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Presentation_for%20Stakeholder%20Workshop_final%20ppt.pdf |access-date=2017-09-20 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20170920082500/http://ncrtc.in/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Presentation_for%20Stakeholder%20Workshop_final%20ppt.pdf |archive-date=20 September 2017 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

On 15 June 2018, the first phase of the project, a {{cvt|100|km}} long segment from Hazrat Nizamuddin to Shahjahanpur-Neemrana-Behror, slated to cost an estimated {{INR}}25,000 crore ({{inflation|IN|25000|2018|r=-3|fmt=eq|cursign=₹}}; or USD ${{to USD|{{inflation|IN|250|2018}}|IND}} billion), was approved by the [[Haryana government]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Delhi/haryana-gives-green-light-to-high-speed-rail-network-project/article24176525.ece|title=Haryana gives green light to high-speed rail network project|newspaper=The Hindu|date=15 June 2018|access-date=18 June 2018}}</ref>
