25 Apr 2025 CW Team

GMRL floated the tender on March 8 for the 15.22-kilometre corridor stretching from Millennium City Centre to Sector 9, which includes a 1.85-km spur to the Dwarka Expressway and a ramp leading to a proposed depot in Sector 33.

“The date for opening the tender will now be May 1, from the scheduled April 22. Bidders had several questions regarding the project and these were answered. Apart from this, the corporation is coordinating with GMDA and other agencies to fast-track civil construction,” said Chander Shekhar Khare, CEO, GMRL and Managing Director, Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation Limited (HMRTC).

The first phase is estimated to cost around Rs 12.86 billion (Rs 1,286 crore). The corridor will feature 15 elevated stations, including key locations such as Cyber Park (Sector 46), Subhash Chowk, Hero Honda Chowk, Basai, and a connection to Sector 101 via a spur.

According to the tender document, the selected contractor will be responsible for survey work, civil construction, viaduct and station building, as well as setting up a central control room equipped with 24/7 communication facilities across all work sites and safety offices.

A senior GMRL official confirmed that ground-penetrating radar (GPR) surveys have already commenced at all 27 proposed station sites to identify underground utilities for efficient relocation. In parallel, an Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) survey is being conducted to assess soil conditions and water table levels along the alignment.

In addition to Metro construction, GMRL has also agreed in principle to construct an underpass at Bakhtawar Chowk and five grade separators funded by the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) along the alignment.

The Rs 54.52 billion (Rs 5,452 crore) Gurugram Metro project—spanning 28.5 kilometres with 27 elevated stations—was officially launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on February 16, 2024.

With planning and groundwork underway, authorities hope to see construction begin soon after the tender process concludes.
