Gurugram Metro Phase 1 Clears Land Hurdle

Gurugram’s urban transport network is set for a major overhaul as Gurugram Metro Rail Limited (GMRL) moves forward with Phase 1 of its metro expansion. The project, valued at Rs 12.86 billion, will include a 15.2-kilometre elevated corridor with 14 stations, connecting Millennium City Centre to Sector 9, with an additional spur to Sector 101 on the Dwarka Expressway.

In a key development, GMRL has received approval from the Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) to utilise over 5,800 square metres of land for the construction of 10 stations. These land parcels will accommodate vital infrastructure such as station entrances, stairways, and lifts.

This project is part of a larger 28.5-kilometre corridor—incorporating the Basai spur—that will eventually connect Millennium City Centre to Cyber City through 27 stations, with a total estimated cost of Rs 54.52 billion.

To aid construction, HSVP has allocated 5.25 hectares in Sector 33 for use as a casting yard, which will support precast metro component production. The Phase 1 tender is expected to open on 15 May, while GMRL is also in the final stages of appointing a general consultant.

The inclusion of the Bakhtawar Chowk underpass into the plan has led to adjustments in the construction timeline, with civil works now set to begin in June. The underpass component alone is projected to cost Rs 600 million.

Beyond infrastructure, the expansion represents a crucial step toward sustainable urban development. It aims to enhance public transport connectivity, ease road congestion, and reduce vehicle emissions—advancing Gurugram’s transformation into a more accessible and environmentally responsible city.

As the city grows into a major metropolitan hub, the timely execution of this metro corridor will play a vital role in shaping a greener and more commuter-friendly future for its residents.
