Our Assessment

high
high

The promise is a Delhi-Panipat RRTS service. The 2025-26 Budget described a Sarai Kale Khan-Karnal Namo corridor, and the 2026-27 Budget records Government of India approval for the longer 136 km Delhi-Karnal Namo Bharat RRTS. The approved corridor necessarily covers the Delhi-Panipat objective and therefore qualifies as an intent match despite the longer terminal and updated Namo Bharat name. Approval and a defined project cost are credible progress, but service has not begun, so the verdict is on_track rather than fulfilled. The Hindi original is preserved in original_text and the English title is a neutral translation. Budget: the approved Delhi-Karnal corridor has an official estimated cost of ₹33,051 crore; utilisation evidence was not reported in the reviewed budget.
