Delhi-Rewari-Jaipur New Railway Line: 191-km Route to Connect Neemrana, Behror and Kotputli

Jaipur, October 29, 2026 (Udaipur Kiran): Plans to build a new railway line connecting Rewari in Haryana with Jaipur have gained momentum, with the Railway Board approving the Detailed Project Report (DPR) process and the final location survey for the proposed route. The approximately 191-km railway corridor is expected to connect several industrial areas in Haryana and Rajasthan that currently lack direct rail connectivity.

Jaipur Rural MP Rao Rajendra Singh met Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Wednesday to discuss the project and request faster preparation of the DPR.

The proposed line will begin at Rewari Junction and pass through Shahjahanpur, Neemrana, Behror, Kotputli, Pawta-Pragpura and Shahpura before reaching Jaipur.

Complete Route of the Proposed Rewari-Jaipur Railway Line

The new railway corridor is planned as an alternative route for trains travelling between Delhi and Jaipur. The existing rail route via Alwar and Bandikui experiences heavy traffic, which can lead to delays.

According to the report, the proposed route through Neemrana and Kotputli could reduce travel time between Delhi and Jaipur by around one to one-and-a-half hours. However, the actual time savings will depend on the final alignment, project execution and train operations.

The proposed route is also expected to improve connectivity for passengers travelling between Haryana and Rajasthan.

Neemrana and Kotputli Industries to Benefit

Neemrana is part of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor and is home to several industrial units. The proposed railway line could provide these businesses with direct rail connectivity.

The route is also expected to benefit the cement industry in Kotputli by providing a potentially faster and more economical way to transport raw materials and finished goods.

Improved rail freight connectivity could reduce dependence on road transport and help businesses manage transportation costs.

Potential Benefits for Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra

The new railway corridor is expected to provide an alternative route for long-distance trains connecting Delhi, Jaipur, Ahmedabad and Mumbai.

According to the report, trains such as Rajdhani and Tejas services could potentially use the proposed corridor, subject to railway planning and operational decisions.

The alternative route could help distribute rail traffic more efficiently and improve connectivity for people travelling for employment, education and business.

However, the final train services and operating arrangements will depend on decisions taken after the project planning process.

Jaipur MP Raises Other Railway Development Issues

During his meeting with Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, Rao Rajendra Singh also raised several other railway-related issues in the Jaipur region.

He requested the development of the proposed Sunderpura railway station on the Jaipur-Reengus section and the redevelopment of Badhal railway station.

Improved connectivity at Badhal could benefit devotees travelling to Khatu Shyam, which attracts pilgrims from across the country.

The MP also discussed train stoppages at stations in Jaipur Rural, including Kishangarh-Renwal, Naraina and Sambhar Lake.

In another development mentioned in the report, the Railway Ministry has approved budget funding for a four-lane road overbridge (ROB) on the Asalpur-Jobner railway line.

DPR and Survey to Determine the Next Steps

The approval for the DPR process and final location survey marks a planning step for the proposed Rewari-Jaipur railway line. The detailed report will help establish the project’s technical and financial requirements.

The final route, construction schedule, project cost and train operations will depend on the findings of the survey and subsequent approvals. No completion date has been specified in the supplied report.
