Officials said the National Capital Region Planning Board (NCRPB) had earlier identified eight lines for the development of rail-based RRTS corridors of which three — Delhi-Panipat, Delhi-Alwar and Delhi-Meerut - were assigned priority by a panel appointed by the Planning Commission.

It was also suggested the formation of NCRTC to develop, run and maintain the proposed Metro corridors.
