It is the only underground station on the Delhi–Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System of the RapidX regional high-speed rail network.

History

[edit]

The National Capital Region Transport Corporation invited tenders on November 11, 2019, for the construction of the Anand Vihar RRTS station along with the 5.6 km stretch from the ramp at New Ashok Nagar to the one located at Sahibabad along the 82.15 km Delhi–Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System line. The Shanghai Tunnel Engineering Co. Limited (STEC) emerged as the lowest bidder for the construction work and was subsequently awarded a ₹1,126.89 crore contract on December 9, 2020, for Package 4, which covers the section from the New Ashok Nagar ramp to the Sahibabad ramp.[3][4] Under the agreement, the company embarked on the construction of the Anand Vihar RRTS station.
