Notably, this 210-kilometre-long, six-lane greenfield corridor has been built at a cost of over Rs 12,000 crore and is expected to significantly reduce travel time. Once operational, the journey between Dehradun and Delhi will be cut down from around five hours to approximately two and a half hours.
