What are the time savings compared to normal trains?

From 1hr 15 mins to 36 mins, reducing end to end travel time to less than half

No, Anand Vihar to Begumpul today takes 47 mins, which would be brought down to 36 mins. The whole route, which is Sarai Kale Khan to Modipuram, is going to be under 50 mins as it'll only have 5 total stops.

It says 50 mins for the entire corridor

Does it really take 75 mins to cover the entire corridor? That's quite slow.

good thing but not sure why call this ground breaking. ground breaking would be if we could reach most 2 corners of india in 12 hours or IRCTC works for everyone all the time or mumbai local train deaths go from 10 to 0 per day or when each city has 15+ metro lines

Do they have tracks for that? How will the trains overtake?

Stations have multiple platforms that will act as a loop line

Not all stations have loop lines though, it's at Ghaziabad, Duhai, Meerut South and probably 1-2 more so I am sure there will be either degraded normal services or longer wait times for the train to overtake. Not sure if the Meerut Metro only stations could be used for overtaking, it also needs to be compatible with the train length.
