From bullet trains to helitaxis, NCR board approves Draft Regional Plan-2041 to improve connectivity

The NCR Planning Board has approved the Draft Regional Plan-2041, which is aimed at making the National Capital Region (NCR) a smart connected region by improving connectivity among towns with help of bullet trains and helitaxi services.

The NCR Planning Board on Tuesday approved the Draft Regional Plan-2041 paving the way for a future-ready, slum-free National Capital Region with air ambulance facility and high-speed connectivity through helitaxis, road, rail and inland waterways.

The draft plan puts special impetus on 30-minute connectivity through super-fast trains within major cities of NCR and also proposes to explore feasibility of 30-minute Mass Transit Rail System (MTRS) from nearest NCR boundaries to Delhi.
