Tata Power-DDL Signs MoU with National Capital Region Transport Corporation Limited to support the execution of Delhi-Panipat-Karnal Namo Bharat (RRTS) corridor
New Delhi : Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (Tata Power-DDL) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with National Capital Region Transport Corporation Limited (NCRTC) to facilitate the shifting of electrical utilities that fall along the upcoming Delhi-Panipat-Karnal Namo Bharat (RRTS) corridor.
The corridor, named the Delhi-Panipat-Karnal Namo Bharat Corridor, spans approximately 136.3 kilometers and features 21 stations—6 located in Delhi and 15 in Haryana. The corridor aims to deliver a seamless rapid transport system for the residents of the NCR. The Namo Bharat Train is designed to reach speeds of 180 km/h, with an operational average speed of 160 km/h and a frequency of trains every 5 to 10 minutes. The corridor consists of 124.82 km of elevated and 11.48 km of underground track. Travelers can expect an estimated journey time of around 90 minutes from Delhi to Karnal.
The MoU was signed by Ms. Kiran Gupta (Chief – Customer Experience, Commercial & Corporate Communications) on behalf of Tata Power-DDL, and Mr. Vijay Kumar, Company Secretary, on behalf of NCRTC, in the presence of Mr. Rahul Kumar, Head – SCM, Mr. Anurag Khurana, HoD (G&I, NBS & Electrification), along with Senior Officials from both the organizations.
Recognised as an initiative of national importance, it is being monitored through the Government of India’s PMG Portal. Under this collaboration, Tata Power-DDL will provide the necessary supervision and grant permissions to NCRTC for shifting/relocation of EHV/HT/LT electrical networks to ensure seamless progress of the proposed Delhi-Panipat-Karnal Namo Bharat (RRTS) corridor works while maintaining adherence to Safety, Reliability & Statutory Standards.
The corridor contains 38 EHV transmission lines at various voltage levels, including 765 kV, 400 kV, 132 kV, 66 kV, as well as several lines at 33 kV, 11 kV and 415 V. It also includes other electrical equipment, such as transformers. These facilities are managed by different agencies, including BSES, Tata Power-DDL, UHBVNL, HVPNL, Power Grid, BBMB, and JKTPL, which will need to be adjusted or moved to facilitate civil construction work in the corridor.
This strategic collaboration marks another significant step towards strengthening inter-agency coordination for large-scale infrastructure projects in the National Capital Region. It reflects Tata Power-DDL’s commitment to enabling sustainable urban infrastructure, supporting efficient mobility solutions and facilitating the timely development of critical public infrastructure while safeguarding the reliability and integrity of the electrical distribution network.
Speaking on the collaboration, Ms. Kiran Gupta, Chief – Customer Experience, Commercial & Corporate Communications, Tata Power-DDL said, ” The NCRTC corridor is a transformative infrastructure initiative that will redefine regional connectivity and accelerate economic growth. At Tata Power-DDL, we take pride in supporting this national mission through timely and efficient network shifting works, enabling seamless execution while maintaining reliable power supply to consumers. Our efforts reflect our commitment to nation-building and to creating infrastructure that empowers future generations.”
The utility shifting works are tentatively expected to be completed within one year from the date of commencement of the works.
