Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor (HORC), with target completion by 31 March 2025, is an under construction twin-track 121.7-kilometre (75.6 mi)-km long Indian gauge railway project in Haryana state of India, which will run around along the Western Peripheral Expressway (WPE) on the western side of Delhi.[1][2]

The railway line will connect Palwal to Sonipat via Sohna, Manesar and Kharkhoda. At Palwal, Patli (Delhi–Rewari line), Sultanpur (Garhi Harsaru–Farukhnagar line), Asaudha (Delhi–Rohtak line) and Harsana Kalan (Delhi-Ambala line) railway stations, it will connect to existing railway lines running radially from Delhi. It will also connect to the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC) at Prithala near Palwal railway station. Once completed, it will transport 20,000 passengers a day and 50 MTPA cargo.[1][3][4]

The Haryana Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (HRIDC), a joint venture founded by the Ministry of Railways and Government of Haryana (Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation|HSIIDC), will construct the corridor by 2025. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs of Government of India approved 5,617 crore (US$790 million) for the project in September 2020.[1][3][5][6]

Additional connectivity[edit | edit source]

Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor will enhance connectivity with and among the following:

Expressways[edit | edit source]

The rail corridor will run within Haryana along the Western Peripheral Expressway (WPE), connecting various hubs along the way. WPE is connected to Eastern Peripheral Expressway (EPE) which runs in Uttar Pradesh, It will also pass across Delhi–Mumbai Expressway between Sohna and Palwal, and Delhi–Amritsar–Katra Expressway near Kharkhoda.

DMIC and WDFC[edit | edit source]

This orbital railway will be key enabler of Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor Project as it will also connect to Delhi-Mumbai Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC) near Palwal railway station. Delhi–Mumbai Expressway is also part of this corridor which will intersect the orbital railway.

Rail lines among IGI Delhi, Hisar and Noida airports[edit | edit source]

Hisar International Airport to IGI Delhi semi-high-speed train will be introduced, which may require upgrade/replacement of existing or laying of additional new line between Hansi to Asaudha (near Bahadurgarh on Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor).[7] This will also connect to the Delhi–Alwar Regional Rapid Transit System near Gurugram via Haryana Orbital Rail corridor.

This will also enable connectivity between Hisar Airport and Noida International Airport (Jewar Airport), and Jewar Airport to IGI Delhi.

RRTS and high-speed rail[edit | edit source]

This corridor will also intersect with Mumbai–Ahmedabad high-speed rail corridor near Manesar, and various RRTS such as Delhi–Alwar RRTS, Delhi–Soonipat RRTS, Delhi-Rohtak-Hisar RRTS and Delhi-Palwal-Hodal RRTS.

Metro[edit | edit source]

This corridor will also intersect with the following proposed and/or under-construction spurs of Delhi Metro:
