Siddhartha Vihar RRTS Station: Future Connectivity to Noida International Airport

Will Siddhartha Vihar Get an RRTS Station to Jewar Airport? 

Siddhartha Vihar is now becoming one of the largest residential developments in the Delhi-Meerut Expressway track in the last few years. The township is in Ghaziabad and has recorded a high growth of high-rise development and interest among homebuyers and investors. With infrastructure talks continuing to heat up within the region one of the projects that keeps reappearing in infrastructure planning discussions is the proposed Ghaziabad-Jewar RRTS Corridor.

When it is operated as it is projected to be, the corridor would provide a high speed rail transportation among Ghaziabad and Greater Noida and the coming airport city at Jewar. This, of course, has led to a big question, whether Siddhartha Vihar could have its own RRTS station and direct connectivity to the airport corridor.

Proposed RRTS Station Near Siddhartha Vihar

According to initial planning documents and alignment deliberations, there will be a station around Siddhartha Vihar, on the NH-24. Some sources of planning define this node informally as Ghaziabad South.

The proposed station would most probably benefit not only Siddhartha Vihar but also some of the adjacent residential zones, including:

• Indirapuram

• Pratap Vihar

• Crossings Republik

Situated near the expressway passage, the station may act as one of the north gates to the rap railway passage linking Ghaziabad to the Greater Noida area and ultimately airport area.

It is necessary to say that the final location of stations will be verified only after the elaboration of the engineering plans and obtaining all government approvals of the project.

How the Station Could Connect Siddhartha Vihar to the Airport Corridor

With the present alignment, the corridor would offer a direct regional connection to various major growth centers between Jewar and Ghaziabad through the operation of the station providing an indirect connection between Siddhartha Vihar and Jewar.

Significant targets that will be covered on the way are:

• Greater Noida West

• Surajpur

• Pari Chowk

• Kasna

• Development areas of Yamuna expressway

• International Airport Noida

The rapid rail is built with a high speed of approximately 160 km/h. When deployed on such a level, the transportation between Ghaziabad and the airport area would require about an hour based on the quantity of stops and the service patterns.

Why the RRTS Station Matters for Siddhartha Vihar Real Estate

Despite the fact that the corridor is still at the planning phase, the existence of a rapid station at Siddhartha Vihar has been already included in the discussion of the long-term growth opportunities of the area.

Regional Connectivity Expansion

The current location of Sidhartha Vihar enjoys the advantage of close connectivity with the Delhi -Meerut Expressway. The inclusion of a rapid rail station would bring in a third dimension of connectivity and the locality will be connected to Greater Noida and the Yamuna Expressway economic hub.

This expressway-rapid rail network might make Siddhartha Vihar one of the transit connected residential hubs in NCR region.

Direct Airport Accessibility

The new Noida International Airport is also projected to be one of the largest aviation centres in North India. The high-speed connectivity at Ghaziabad would greatly enhance the accessibility of the airport by the locals and the people working in the area.

Places that have good access to airports would tend to be more appealing to business people and corporate workers and this may reinforce residential demand in the long run.

Infrastructure-Driven Urban Growth

The patterns of urban development throughout the National Capital Region were shaped in the past by significant transport infrastructure. Metro corridors, expressways, and regional rail networks have all been important in determining the way cities grow.

With the acquisition of a quick rail station by Siddhartha Vihar, the area would be one of the few residential areas in Ghaziabad to be linked to an expressway network and a regional rapid transit network at the same time.

Impact on Investor Sentiment

Even before infrastructure construction starts, investors tend to respond through infrastructure announcements. The feasibility of high-speed regional connectivity can make people more confident with the long-term accessibility and habitable status of a place.

Nevertheless, actual real implementation of projects and delivery schedules will determine the actual effect on the value of homes and demand.

Important Clarification About the Project

The GhaziabadJewar RRTS corridor has not got the final nod of central government yet, although it is often mentioned in the Planning process, the station being proposed in the vicinity of Siddhartha Vihar.

Because of this:

• Station names may change

• Precise locations of stations might be changed.

• Building schedules are unpredictable

As of today, the station can be viewed as a planned infrastructure potentiality but not an established project of operation.

Conclusion

The proposed Ghaziabad- Jewar RRTS corridor can become a game changer in providing an infrastructure connection between Ghaziabad and the new airport ecosystem of Jewar. When the situation continues as it is and a station is built close to Siddhartha Vihar, the area would benefit by having direct rapid rail connectivity to Greater Noida and the new airport city.

This connectivity would improve the strategic location of Siddhartha Vihar that was situated between the Yamuna Expressway development corridor and Delhi. However, with any of the major infrastructure construction, the long-term effects will be determined by the approvals, construction schedule and the successful completion of the project.
