CHANDIGARH (Metro Rail News): In an effort to boost infrastructure development in the state, the Haryana government has announced several new projects. During the budget presentation for the fiscal year 2023-24 on Thursday, Haryana’s Chief Minister, Manohar Lal Khattar, revealed plans for three new metro rail projects.

What are the new Metro routes?

As part of Haryana’s infrastructure development plan, three new metro routes have been proposed. The first proposed route is a metro link from Southern Peripheral Road to Panchgaon, passing through Global City and Manesar. The second route involves extending the Bahadurgarh Metro to Asaudha to connect with the Haryana Orbital Rail Network and Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) expressway. Finally, the third route aims to connect Rezangla Chowk to the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi through a metro link. These routes are expected to improve connectivity and ease travel within the state.

The ‘Gurugram Metro’ project, which is a proposed 28.8-km-long corridor( Huda City Centre – Cyber City via Old Gurgaon), is expected to feature 27 elevated stations, including a spur leading to the Dwarka expressway.

The construction of the Gurugram Metro project is expected to commence in the new fiscal year, pending final approval from the Union Cabinet. The Chief Minister of Haryana, Manohar Lal Khattar, announced that the Public Investment Board in the Central Government has approved the project, and he hopes that the construction work will start in 2023-24.

Furthermore, the Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor Project, which has been under construction since October 2022, is expected to be completed by December 2024. The priority section from Manesar is currently under full swing of work, with an allocated amount of Rs 175.80 crore.

Other railway infrastructure projects in Haryana include an elevated railway line in Bahadurgarh and Kaithal. The Chief Minister announced that detailed project reports and feasibility studies would be prepared for the approval of the Union Ministry of Railways. Additionally, the Karnal-Yamunanagar Railway line project will be started soon after approval from the Ministry of Railways.
