GURUGRAM (Metro Rail News): The civil work on the 28 KM Gurugram Metro from Huda City Centre is likely to start in a month by Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA). The Chief Minister of Haryana, Manohar Lal Khattar, announced this while reviewing development projects in Gurugram and Faridabad worth Rs 37,927 crore.
He emphasized the importance of these projects and allocated over Rs 2,000 crore for development in both cities. Shri Manohar Lal Khattar also instructed officials to expedite ongoing projects and ensure proper supervision. The GMDA will strengthen the metro and road network in Gurugram and Faridabad to establish a robust transportation system.
The proposed Gurugram Metro project will connect Huda City Centre and Cyber City, covering 28.8 km with 27 elevated stations. The project is expected to cost Rs 6,800 crore. The tender includes a main line between Huda City Centre and CyberHub, along with a spur from Basai village to Dwarka Expressway. The project is expected to have an interchange with the Rapid Metro.
The state government has also proposed a Metro link from Palam Vihar to Dwarka Sector 21 to connect the Gurugram Metro and the Blue Line of the Delhi Metro. In October 2022, the Haryana Cabinet approved the final Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the metro extension. The project had faced delays due to revisions in its plans, but it has now received approval from the Public Investment Board of the central government. However, the final authorization from the Union cabinet is still awaited.
