Rs 12.9 Billion Tender Soon for Gurugram Metro Phase 1

10 Jul 2025 CW Team

Gurugram, known for its skyline of multinational offices and luxury developments, is set to receive a transformative boost with its own independent Metro network. The first phase of the Gurugram Metro project is progressing rapidly, with six out of eight bidding firms shortlisted by Gurugram Metro Rail Limited (GMRL). The financial proposals are currently under review, and a major tender worth Rs 12.86 billion is expected to be awarded by the end of July.

Phase 1 of the project will cover a 15.22 km elevated corridor featuring 15 Metro stations and a 1.85 km spur connecting to the Dwarka Expressway. A ramp will also be constructed to provide access to the proposed depot at Sector 33. This phase will link Millennium City Centre to Delhi Metro's DMRC network via an interchange.

Key stations in the initial stretch include Sector 45, Cyber Park (Sector 46), Sector 47, Subhash Chowk, Sector 48, Sector 33, Hero Honda Chowk, Udyog Vihar Phase-6, Sector 10, Sector 37, Basai, Sector 9, and Sector 101.

The Metro project will be executed in three stages:

Phase 1: Millennium City Centre to Sector 101
Phase 2: Sector 9 to Cyber Hub
Phase 3: Metro depot development in Sector 33

This ambitious infrastructure project marks Gurugram’s first fully self-reliant metro system. Presently, the city depends on Rapid Metro and the Delhi Metro for urban transport. The new network is poised to significantly enhance intra-city connectivity, ease traffic congestion, and improve transit access across key economic zones.

The entire Gurugram Metro corridor will stretch 28.5 km and include 27 stations, 13 of which are expected to directly influence nearby real estate markets. Property values in those areas could rise by 10 to 25 per cent, driven by improved connectivity and infrastructure. The project is also expected to draw increased interest from investors, solidifying Gurugram’s position as a high-growth urban hub.
