The Regional Rapid Transit System, which is also known as RapidX, is a semi-high high-speed rail system which is going to operate in NCR(National Capital Region). The government is developing the Rapidx system to provide fast and comfortable train journeys near Metro cities. The government is also developing the Rapidx system so that crowds can get shifted to other nearby towns, and population density in Delhi and nearby area get decreased.

Once it gets successful near NCR, then the government will develop the same rail transit system near other metro cities. The plan for a regional rapid transit service to connect Delhi with nearby towns was proposed in the late 1990s by Indian Railways. In April 2023, the NCRTC branded RRTS services as RapidX.
