The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) board visited India's first RRTS corridor between Delhi, Ghaziabad, and Meerut. The delegation, along with officials from India's finance department, saw innovative technologies in action and praised the NCRTC team for successful implementation of advanced mobility solutions.

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) delegation embarked on an insightful tour of India's pioneering RRTS corridor on Monday. Connecting Delhi, Ghaziabad, and Meerut, the project was presented in detail to the team, highlighting the innovative and groundbreaking technologies employed.

Accompanied by the Department of Economic Affairs and Ministry of Finance, the AIIB officials observed firsthand the advancements and commuter-centric features of the Namo Bharat trains along the route from Sahibabad to Duhai RRTS station.
