The Delhi–Panipat Regional Rapid Transit System (Delhi–Panipat RRTS) is an approved, 103 km (64 mi) long, semi-high speed rail corridor connecting Delhi, Sonipat, and Panipat in the National Capital Region.[1][2] 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 and average speed of 120 km/h, commuters using the system will be able to cover the distance between Panipat and Delhi in 65 minutes. The project is expected to cost ₹ 21,627 crores.[3]

The line will start from Sarai Kale Khan station, which will allow interchange with Delhi-Alwar RapidX and Delhi-Meerut RapidX lines, as well as connectivity to the Nizamuddin railway station, Sarai Kale Khan ISBT and Sarai Kale Khan - Nizamuddin metro station.
