DMRC revives plan for Dwarka–Gurgaon Metro corridor

17 Sep 2025 CW Team

Nearly a decade after it was shelved, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is reconsidering a long-discussed plan to extend the Metro from Dwarka to Gurgaon.

The proposed 12-km corridor would run from Yashobhoomi station in Dwarka Sector-25, on the Airport Express Line, to IFFCO Chowk along the Delhi–Jaipur Expressway. Planned stations include Bharthal, Bijwasan, Carterpuri, and Tau Devi Lal Park in Sector 23. An interchange is expected with the Gurugram Metro corridor at Sector 23.

If implemented, the extension would provide direct metro access from Dwarka to key commercial hubs including Udyog Vihar, Cyber City, and Hero Honda Chowk, while also easing airport connectivity.

Earlier DPRs prepared in 2011 and 2015 were dropped due to viability concerns. Both this project and the Rezang La Chowk–Dwarka Sector 21 link are now under government review, with detailed project reports to decide feasibility, costs, and funding structures.
