Gurugram Metro Work Begins With Rs 12.77 Billion Phase One

04 Sep 2025 CW Team

District officials confirmed that Phase One will consist of a 15.22-kilometre elevated viaduct, 15 metro stations, a 1.85-kilometre spur to the Dwarka Expressway, and a ramp connecting to the proposed depot in Sector 33. With a contract value of approximately Rs 12.77 billion (excluding GST), the project is positioned as both a solution to growing traffic congestion and a step towards climate-conscious infrastructure.

Site mobilisation is expected to follow swiftly after the launch, with machinery such as piling rigs already stationed near Sector 44. This location will serve as the originating point where the new metro line links with the existing Yellow Line of the Delhi Metro.

Officials from Gurugram Metro Rail Limited (GMRL) highlighted that this launch represents the first step in a much broader metro expansion strategy. Surveys for Phase Two are already in progress to expedite the tendering process and ensure project continuity—an effort to avoid the delays that have hindered metro development in other Indian cities.

Urban mobility experts have long criticised Gurugram’s over-reliance on private vehicles, which has led to severe congestion and high levels of vehicular emissions. The upcoming metro system is expected to ease road traffic, reduce the city’s carbon footprint, and offer a reliable alternative for thousands of daily commuters.

Gurugram’s metro line is also set to improve last-mile connectivity, integrating key residential and commercial sectors with major business hubs. This will better connect the city to the wider Delhi-NCR region, cutting commute times and boosting the overall quality of urban life.

Residents have welcomed the project as a long-overdue development that will reshape transport patterns across the city. Authorities described the Bhoomi Pujan as a historic milestone, representing not just an infrastructure boost but a shift toward inclusive, environmentally responsible urban development.

While optimism is high, the ultimate success of the project will depend on timely execution and sustained commitment. If delivered as planned, the Gurugram Metro could serve as a model for future transit systems in rapidly growing urban centres.

Gurugram is set to take a transformative step in its urban transport journey, as construction on its long-awaited metro network officially commences on 5 September. The Bhoomi Pujan ceremony will mark the start of Phase One, signalling the city's commitment to sustainable and efficient mobility.District officials confirmed that Phase One will consist of a 15.22-kilometre elevated viaduct, 15 metro stations, a 1.85-kilometre spur to the Dwarka Expressway, and a ramp connecting to the proposed depot in Sector 33.
