With the aim to ease traffic on Gurugram roads, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has approved Detailed Project Report (DPR) for a 31.11-kilometre metro line between HUDA City Centre and Sector 22 Gurgaon. The decision was taken at a meeting of the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) to extend the metro line between HUDA City Centre and Cyber City Rapid Metro. The metro line will have 25 stations and six interchange stations and would be operational by 2023.

The metro stations proposed on this route are — HUDA City Centre, Sector 45, Cyber Park, Sector 46, Sector 47, Sector 48, Technology Park, Udyog Vihar Phase 6, Sector 10, Sector 37, Basai, Sector 9, Sector 7, Sector 4, Sector 5, Ashok Vihar, Sector 3, Krishna Chowk, Palam Vihar Extension, Palam Vihar, Sector 23 A, Sector 22, Udyog Vihar Phase IV and V and Cyber City.

The Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation (HMRTC), which will be implementing the project’s construction has projected construction at an estimated cost of Rs 5,126 crore. It was also decided by GMDA that track integration between the Metro Corridor and the Rapid Metro would be considered for continuous operations.

This new expansion plans to bring Old Gurgaon and Industrial areas to Gurgaon’s Metro map. Once functional, these metro networks will help cut down dependency on private transport, thereby bringing down traffic congestion across the city. The GMDA also approved a Comprehensive Drainage Plan for Gurugram at an estimated cost of ₹160 crore.
