Delhi–Amritsar High Speed Rail Corridor is a planned high-speed rail line connecting India's capital, New Delhi and Punjab's city Amritsar. It was one of the six new high-speed rail corridors planned in 2019.[4][5]
The high-speed route connecting important cities of Northern India will cut short the distance from existing six hours to under two.[4]
Stations
The train would start from Dwarka in Delhi, and will have stoppages at Sonipat, Panipat, Kurukshetra, Ambala, Mohali, Ludhiana, Phagwara , Jalandhar and Amritsar.[6]
Amritsar–Jammu
According to the National Rail Plan (NRP) unveiled by the ministry of railways, the Delhi–Amritsar line would be extended until Jammu via Pathankot, in order to provide economic boost to Jammu as well as to improve tourism connectivity for Vaishno Devi.[7]
