The Gurugram Metro is expected to not only improve commuting but also elevate real estate prospects in these burgeoning neighbourhoods.
The Gurugram Metro project, managed by Gurugram Metro Rail Limited (GMRL), a joint venture between the Central Government and the Government of Haryana, is set to transform the city’s transport infrastructure. GMRL, which will oversee current and future metro projects in the city, is also a key player in the Haryana Mass Transport Corporation (HMRTC) initiative.
The metro line, spanning approximately 28.5 kilometres, will connect Huda City Centre to Gurgaon Cyber City via Old Gurgaon. The Union Cabinet’s approval marks the end of a lengthy delay, paving the way for a significant upgrade in urban connectivity. The line includes a 26.65 km main stretch and a 1.85 km spur linking Basai village to the Dwarka Expressway.
The metro is expected to benefit over 2.5 million people and significantly boost economic development in the region. Authorities project that the line will serve around 540,000 passengers daily by 2026, with ridership increasing to 726,000 by 2031.
