Namo Bharat tops five crore passengers, last crore in 93 days
New Delhi: The Namo Bharat train has set a new milestone in passenger numbers. The number of passengers travelling on the service has crossed five crore. Significantly, the last one crore passengers were added in just 93 days. The achievement reflects the growing public acceptance of regional transport between Delhi, Ghaziabad and Meerut.
Operations on the Namo Bharat corridor began on October 21, 2023, on the 17-km priority section between Sahibabad and Duhai Depot. After this, the passenger count reached one crore in 574 days of the start of operations, on May 16, 2025. It took 211 days to add the next one crore passengers. The count then moved from two crore to three crore in 143 days, and from three crore to four crore in 101 days. It took only 93 days to reach from four crore to five crore. The five-crore passenger mark was recorded on November 10.
According to officials, passenger numbers have continued to rise after operations began on the entire corridor. High speed, air-conditioned coaches, reliable service and improved regional connectivity are among the main reasons for its popularity.
The Namo Bharat train has made commuting between Delhi, Ghaziabad and Meerut easier. Because of convenient links with Metro, railway and bus services, people travelling for work, education and business are also using it.
