'''Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor''' (HORC), with target completion by 31 March 2025, is an under construction twin-track {{convert|121.7|km|mi|adj=on}}-km long [[Indian gauge]] railway project in [[Haryana]] state of [[India]], which will run around along the [[Western Peripheral Expressway]] (WPE) on the western side of [[Delhi]].<ref name=":0" /><ref>{{Cite news|others=Special Correspondent|date=2020-09-15|title=Central nod for Haryana rail project|language=en-IN|work=The Hindu|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/central-nod-for-haryana-rail-project/article32615450.ece|access-date=2020-10-04|issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

The railway line will connect [[Palwal]] to [[Sonipat]] via [[Sohna]], [[Manesar]] and [[Kharkhoda, Haryana|Kharkhoda]]. At Palwal, Patli (Delhi–Rewari line), Sultanpur (Garhi Harsaru–Farukhnagar line), Asaudha (Delhi–Rohtak line) and Harsana Kalan (Delhi-Ambala line) railway stations, it will connect to existing railway lines running radially from Delhi. It will also connect to the [[Western Dedicated Freight Corridor]] (WDFC) at Prithala near [[Palwal railway station]]. Once completed, it will transport 20,000 passengers a day and 50 MTPA cargo.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=India approves $764m Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor Project|url=https://www.railway-technology.com/news/haryana-orbital-rail-corridor-project-india/|access-date=2020-10-04|website=www.railway-technology.com}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web|date=2020-09-17|title=Cabinet approves Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor to decongest Delhi|url=https://www.railwaygazette.com/infrastructure/cabinet-approves-haryana-orbital-rail-corridor-to-decongest-delhi/57377.article|access-date=2020-10-04|website=Railway Gazette International}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-09-17|title=Diverting routes|url=https://www.dailypioneer.com/2020/vivacity/diverting-routes.html|access-date=2020-10-04|website=The Pioneer|language=en}}</ref>

The Haryana Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (HRIDC), a joint venture founded by the [[Ministry of Railways]] and [[Government of Haryana]] (Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation|HSIIDC), will construct the corridor by 2025. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs of [[Government of India]] approved {{INRConvert|5617|c}} for the project in September 2020.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-09-15|title=Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor project from Palwal to Sonipat via Sohna-Manesar-Kharkhauda gets cabinet approval|url=https://zeenews.india.com/economy/haryana-orbital-rail-corridor-project-from-palwal-to-sonipat-via-sohna-manesar-kharkhauda-gets-cabinet-approval-2309849.html|access-date=2020-10-04|website=Zee News|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=HRIDC receives 14 bids for Haryana Orbital Rail General Consultancy contract|url=https://www.urbantransportnews.com/news/hridc-receives-14-bids-for-haryana-orbital-rail-general-consultancy-contract|access-date=2020-10-04|website=Urban Transport News}}</ref>

==Additional connectivity ==

Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor will enhance connectivity with and among the following:

===Expressways===

The rail corridor will run within Haryana along the [[Western Peripheral Expressway]] (WPE), connecting various hubs along the way. WPE is connected to [[Eastern Peripheral Expressway]] (EPE) which runs in [[Uttar Pradesh]], It will also pass across [[Delhi–Mumbai Expressway]] between Sohna and Palwal, and [[Delhi–Amritsar–Katra Expressway]] near [[Kharkhoda, Haryana|Kharkhoda]].

===DMIC and WDFC===

This orbital railway will be key enabler of [[Delhi–Mumbai Industrial Corridor Project]] as it will also connect to Delhi-Mumbai Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC) near [[Palwal railway station]]. Delhi–Mumbai Expressway is also part of this corridor which will intersect the orbital railway.

===Rail lines among IGI Delhi, Hisar and Noida airports ===

[[Hisar_Airport#Rail|Hisar International Airport]] to [[Indira Gandhi International Airport|IGI Delhi]] semi-high-speed train will be introduced, which may require upgrade/replacement of existing or laying of additional new line between Hansi to Asaudha (near [[Bahadurgarh]] on Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor).<ref name=orb1>[https://www.jagran.com/haryana/panchkula-pm-narendra-modi-will-give-special-gift-to-haryana-and-lay-foundation-stone-of-130-km-long-railway-corridor-21871916.html PM Narendra Modi will give special gift to Haryana and lay foundation stone of 130 km long railway corridor], Dainik Jagran, 29 July 2021.</ref> This will also connect to the [[Delhi–Alwar Regional Rapid Transit System]] near Gurugram via Haryana Orbital Rail corridor.

This will also enable connectivity between Hisar Airport and [[Jewar Airport|Noida International Airport]] (Jewar Airport), and Jewar Airport to IGI Delhi.

===RRTS and high-speed rail===

This corridor will also intersect with [[Mumbai–Ahmedabad high-speed rail corridor]] near [[Manesar]], and various [[National Capital Region Transport Corporation#Overview of RRTS|RRTS]] such as [[Delhi–Alwar Regional Rapid Transit System|Delhi–Alwar RRTS]], [[Delhi–Sonipat–Panipat Regional Rapid Transit System|Delhi–Soonipat RRTS]], [[National Capital Region Transport Corporation#Phase II (Proposed)|Delhi-Rohtak-Hisar RRTS]] and [[National Capital Region Transport Corporation#Phase II (Proposed)|Delhi-Palwal-Hodal RRTS]].

===Metro===

This corridor will also intersect with the following proposed and/or under-construction spurs of [[Delhi Metro]]:

* [[Delhi_Metro#Haryana|Narela-Sonipat metro]] on [[Red_Line_(Delhi_Metro)|Red Line]]
* [[Delhi_Metro#Haryana|Bahadurgarh-Rohtak metro]] near Asaudha on [[Green Line (Delhi Metro)|Green Line]]
* [[Delhi_Metro#Haryana|Gurugram-Manesarmetro]] at Manesar on [[Yellow_Line_(Delhi_Metro)|Yellow Line]]
* [[Delhi_Metro#Haryana|Najafgarh-Jhajjar metro]] near [[Badli, Jhajjar |Badli]] on [[Grey Line (Delhi Metro)|Grey Line]]
* [[Delhi_Metro#Haryana|Badli-Badsa metro]] near [[All_India_Institute_of_Medical_Sciences,_New_Delhi#Extension_campuses_of_AIIMS_%28New_Delhi%29_Jhajjar-AIIMS-II|AIIMS Badsa]] on [[Grey Line (Delhi Metro)|Grey Line]]
* [[Delhi_Metro#Haryana|Faridabad-Palwal metro]] near Asaoti on [[Violet Line (Delhi Metro)|Violet Line]]
