Land Purchase Begins To Clear Hurdles For Old Gurugram Metro

13 Feb 2026 CW Team

The meeting was attended by representatives of the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority, the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram, the public works department (PWD) for buildings and roads and the Town and Country Planning Department alongside GMRL officials. Officials identified specific parcels that intersect the proposed route, including land linked to the Sector 33 metro depot and areas around Basai village. Participants reviewed maps and preliminary land ownership records to establish priorities for purchase and compensation.

Officials said the initiation of a formal land purchase process is intended to unblock key bottlenecks that have affected construction timelines and contractor mobilisation. The process will include verification of titles, assessment of compensation and planning for utility relocations so that civil works can proceed without repeated stoppages. Authorities expect that securing contiguous land parcels will allow for unfettered access for equipment and materials and reduce delays arising from right of way disputes.

Next steps will involve joint surveys, valuation assessments and engagement with land owners to finalise compensation packages and transfer agreements, with the district administration coordinating interagency approvals. Municipal and development authorities will be required to align local clearances and provide necessary civic support so that work at the Sector 33 depot and other stretches can advance. Officials indicated that timely acquisition and clearances are critical to maintain project schedules and to deliver transport benefits to commuters and the surrounding urban economy.

Construction of the Old Gurugram Metro gathered pace as the district administration initiated steps to resolve land related issues that have slowed progress on the project. A high level review meeting chaired by District Magistrate Ajay Kumar took place at the Mini Secretariat, during which officials from Gurugram Metro Rail Limited (GMRL) shared updated details on private land parcels falling along the proposed alignment. The session was described by organisers as the first practical step towards addressing long standing acquisition challenges.
