NCRTC Organises Namo Bharat Corridor visit for IIT-Delhi Students; Shares Insights on Innovative Engineering Methodologies and Construction Challenges
- Students Experience Real-Time Train Operations at OCC & Cutting-Edge Technologies at 'Aparimit'
Meerut .Bringing academic theory and large-scale project implementation together, NCRTC hosted civil engineering students from IIT-Delhi for an experiential technical visit to the Delhi–Meerut Namo Bharat Corridor. This tour offered future engineers a direct exposure to the execution of India’s first Namo Bharat, focusing on advanced construction methodologies, complex urban engineering interventions, Multi-Modal Integration (MMI), and various cutting-edge technologies deployed in its implementation and operations.
The students were given a guided tour of Sarai Kale Khan station where they witnessed NCRTC’s efforts for MMI at the station, which provides seamless integration with Metro, Veer Haqeeqat Rai ISBT, Ring Road, and Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station via a dedicated travelator-equipped Foot-Over Bridge. From here, they took a trip on the Namo Bharat train to Duhai station, during which they experienced the commuter-centric features of the trains. They were very keen to understand how NCRTC is providing local metro services in Meerut on the same infrastructure of Namo Bharat.
They also visited the Namo Bharat Depot at Duhai, where a dedicated technical session was orgaised. This session highlighted detailed the engineering feats required to navigate the dense, utility-heavy urban terrain across Delhi, Ghaziabad, and Meerut. Through precision planning, advanced structural monitoring, and adaptive design interventions, NCRTC navigated these urban constraints to deliver the project safely within targeted timelines. The students were very curious about the various methodologies used to overcome the challenges.
The students also gained hands-on exposure to real-time train operations at the Operation Control Centre (OCC). OCC is the brain of operations and controls everything, including train movement, Platform-Screen Doors and Rolling stock. They also visited 'Aparimit' — NCRTC’s Centre of Excellence, where they experienced the use of advanced technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Building Information Modelling (BIM) for project implementation, operational efficiency, and immersive training.
This visit provided an interesting opportunity for students, providing them with hands-on exposure to the operations & maintenance of such large-scale infrastructure projects and their operations mechanism.
