On 12 June 2026, NCRTC (National Capital Region Transport Corporation) floated a formal e-tender — reference DM/MS/CPM-GZ/312 — for the construction of a 417-metre skywalk with travelators at the Anand Vihar multimodal hub. The skywalk will physically connect the Namo Bharat RRTS station at Anand Vihar directly to ISBT Kaushambi, Anand Vihar Railway Station, and both DMRC metro lines (Blue Line and Pink Line).
This is not a proposal or a plan. It is a funded government tender, with bids due on 13 July 2026 and a 15-month construction timeline. The walkway will be complete by approximately mid-2027.
For anyone who owns or is evaluating commercial office space at ISBT Kaushambi or a studio apartment at ISBT Kaushambi, this development changes the investment fundamentals materially.
What Exactly Is Being Built
The NCRTC tender covers a climate-controlled, elevated walkway spanning 417 metres. Key features:
| Feature | Detail |
|---|---|
| Length | 417 metres |
| Type | Elevated skywalk with travelators (moving walkways) |
| Connects | Anand Vihar RRTS station ↔ ISBT Kaushambi ↔ Anand Vihar Railway Station ↔ DMRC Blue Line ↔ DMRC Pink Line |
| Tender ref | DM/MS/CPM-GZ/312 (dated 12 June 2026) |
| Completion | 15 months from contract award (~mid-2027) |
| Bid security | ₹71,11,854 |
| Authority | NCRTC (Government of India undertaking) |
A travelator is a moving horizontal walkway — the kind used in airports. Passengers exiting the Namo Bharat RRTS at Anand Vihar will step onto a covered, air-conditioned walkway and arrive directly inside ISBT Kaushambi without crossing a road, climbing stairs in the heat, or navigating the traffic at this junction. The same walkway connects to Anand Vihar Railway Station and both metro platforms.
What this means in plain terms: Every Meerut–Delhi RRTS commuter, every train passenger from eastern UP, and every metro rider on the Blue and Pink lines will now flow through ISBT Kaushambi as part of their natural transit path — effortlessly, under cover, by travelator. The footfall that already reaches this location structurally increases.
Why This Matters for Commercial Property at ISBT Kaushambi
Transit-oriented commercial property derives its value from one thing above all else: guaranteed, structural footfall that does not depend on marketing or seasons. The skywalk makes ISBT Kaushambi the mandatory transit path for every interchange traveller at this hub.
Before the skywalk, a Meerut-bound commuter exiting the RRTS at Anand Vihar would make a choice: walk to ISBT Kaushambi or find another route. After the skywalk, there is no choice involved — the path runs directly through the terminal, past every shop, food court outlet, and business located inside.
Impact by unit type
- Retail Shops — footfall that previously required a deliberate detour now flows past automatically. The difference between a captive customer and a diverted customer is enormous for retail conversion rates.
- Studio Apartments (Pre-Leased) — the hotel operator's occupancy is directly tied to this interchange's transit volume. A higher-footfall terminus commands higher room rates and higher occupancy — which flows directly into rental yield for studio unit investors.
- Business Suites (Office Space) — the skywalk makes this address accessible to clients arriving by five different transit modes without a single auto or cab booking. For professional services, consulting firms, and financial advisors, that client convenience is a genuine differentiator.
The Five-Transit Hub — Now Physically Unified
ISBT Kaushambi already sits at the convergence of five transit systems. The skywalk physically unifies them for the first time:
| Transit System | Pre-Skywalk | Post-Skywalk |
|---|---|---|
| Namo Bharat RRTS | 200m walk, road crossing | Direct covered travelator |
| Anand Vihar Railway Station | Separate pedestrian access | Unified skywalk connection |
| Blue Line Metro (Kaushambi) | On-site, already connected | Integrated into skywalk route |
| Pink Line Metro (Anand Vihar) | Separate station access | Foot overbridge link included |
| ISBT Bus Terminal | On-site | Central hub of the skywalk |
No other commercial location in Delhi NCR currently has, or is scheduled to have, all five transit modes connected by a single covered walkway. This is an infrastructure combination that takes decades and billions of rupees of government capital to create. It will not be replicated at another private commercial development.
The Investment Timeline — Why Now Matters
The skywalk is under tender. Construction begins approximately Q3 2026. Completion is projected for mid-2027. BeTogether Courtyard Kaushambi — the Omaxe × UPSRTC commercial project at this location — is open for booking.
This is the sequence that matters for investors:
- Now (July 2026): Introductory pricing on Business Suites and Studio Apartments. Skywalk under tender — not yet priced into market valuations.
- Q3 2026: Skywalk construction begins. Infrastructure is visible. Market begins to price in the connectivity upgrade.
- Mid-2027: Skywalk operational. Full interchange connectivity realised. Footfall multiplies. Rental yields reflect new reality.
- Post-2027: Units purchased at pre-skywalk pricing are now in a fully connected location. Capital value reflects infrastructure that did not exist at time of booking.
The window: The skywalk tender closes 13 July. By the time the skywalk is visible in the market — covered in news, reflected in comparable valuations — the pricing window will be long closed.
What Saurabh Says
I have been tracking this project since the NCRTC tender was floated in June. The skywalk is the single most significant infrastructure development adjacent to this project — more significant, in terms of daily footfall impact, than any individual transit addition. Five systems were already here. The skywalk makes them one unified hub.
If you are evaluating a purchase at ISBT Kaushambi and you were waiting for a reason to decide, this is the development that changes the calculus. These two government processes — the skywalk tender and the booking phase — are running simultaneously.
