HMRTC Plans 18 Metro Stations Along Gurugram Faridabad RRTS Corridor

28 Mar 2026 CW Team

The Gurugram–Faridabad Rapid Rail Transit System (RRTS) line will stretch about 64 kilometres and will adopt the same operational model used for the Delhi–Meerut RRTS and Meerut Metro, enabling metro and Namo Bharat trains to share infrastructure. A significant portion of the route, about 52 kilometres, will run through Gurugram while the remaining 12 kilometres will lie in Uttar Pradesh. The shared infrastructure is intended to streamline operations and reduce duplication of track facilities. Design planners anticipate that interoperability will support reliable high frequency services.

Interchanges are planned to link the new corridor with the existing Delhi Metro network, with a key connection proposed at the Millennium City Centre Metro station on the Yellow Line to facilitate passenger transfers. An additional interchange at Sector 61 is intended to connect the Namo Bharat station with a proposed metro line between Sector 56 and Pachgaon, creating direct links between residential and employment centres. The network design seeks to integrate services to shorten journey times and improve accessibility for daily commuters. Project planners expect such nodes to enhance the overall effectiveness of the regional transport system.

The scheme is described as a semi-high-speed transit initiative that will provide enhanced connectivity across municipal boundaries and support modal shift from road to rail. Planners indicate that the corridor will offer a safe, affordable and sustainable travel option, improving reliability for passengers and fostering greater intercity connectivity. The distribution of stations across Faridabad and Gurugram is aimed at balancing coverage and operational efficiency. Implementation will require coordinated planning between state and regional authorities to align standards and schedules.

The Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation (HMRTC) has proposed the construction of 18 metro stations along the Namo Bharat corridor that will connect Gurugram, Faridabad and Greater Noida. 10 stations are planned in Faridabad while eight are expected in Gurugram. The proposal forms part of a broader plan to extend semi-high-speed rapid transit capacity within the National Capital Region. The authority has positioned the corridor as a key element in regional mobility planning.
