Jaipur: A direct train journey between Jaipur and Delhi via Neemrana, Kothputli and Behror is moving closer to reality. North Western Railway (NWR) is finalising the Final Location Survey (FLS) for the proposed 191-km Rewari–Neemrana–Behror–Jaipur railway line.“We are undertaking survey for the proposed line which is expected to connect Rewari in Haryana with Jaipur through Shahjahanpur, Neemrana, Behror, Kotputli, Paota-Pragpura and Shahpura. An amount of Rs 5.73 crore was sanctioned for the survey in March 2026 to assess the alignment and prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR),” said the chief public relations officer, North Western Railway (NWR), while talking to TOI.Once the survey concludes, NWR will draft the DPR to finalise project costs and land acquisition.According to the sources, Railway Board has cleared the process for preparation of the DPR and survey. The development follows a meeting between Jaipur Rural MP Rao Rajendra Singh and railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Oct 28 during which the MP urged the ministry to expedite the project.For passengers, the biggest attraction could be direct rail connectivity to Neemrana and Behror, two rapidly developing industrial centres that currently lack the kind of passenger rail connectivity envisaged under the proposed corridor. Thousands of people employed in factories, offices and industrial establishments in this belt could benefit from a more convenient public transport option.The proposed line could also provide another rail connection between Jaipur and Delhi, reducing dependence on the existing routes via Alwar-Bandikui and Rewari-Ringas.Authorities added that the alternative alignment could save passengers around one to one-and-a-half hours, although the actual travel time benefit will depend on the final route and train operations.“This corridor could transform rail travel across the Jaipur-NCR belt, giving passengers in Neemrana, Behror and neighbouring towns a railway connection they have long been waiting for,” said Sanjay Kaushik, a tour operator.
