Delhi–Alwar Regional Rapid Transit System (Delhi–Alwar RRTS) is a 164 km (102 mi) long under-construction semi-high speed rail with RRTS (Regional Rapid Transit System for the longer distance)-cum-metro (suburban Mass Rapid Transit) dual-use corridor connecting Delhi, Gurugram, Rewari, SNB and Alwar. It is one of the three RapidX corridors planned under Phase-1 of the Rapid Rail Transport System of the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC). With maximum speed of 160 km/h (100 mph) and average speed of 105 km/h (65 mph), the distance between Delhi and Alwar will be covered in 104 minutes. The tracks and stations will be designed for the dual RRTS-cum-Metro train use, i.e. the RRTS is for the longer distance regional trains with less stops and the metro for the suburban distance with more frequent stops. The project's cost estimated in 2017 was 37,000 crores (equivalent to 52,000 in 2023; or USD $7 billion).
