STN: The foundation stone for Gurugram Metro Phase 1 has been laid. Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and Haryana Chief Minister Naib Singh Saini jointly launched the project. The new metro line will strengthen the city’s transport system and ease daily travel for thousands of residents.
Overview of Gurugram Metro Phase 1
The project will create a 28.5 km elevated metro corridor. It will include 27 stations that connect Old Gurugram with Cyber City in New Gurugram. The aim is to bridge the gap between traditional city areas and new business hubs.
The corridor will run from Millennium City Centre Metro Station (earlier HUDA City Centre) to Cyber City at Moulsari Avenue. A 1.85 km spur will also connect the line to the Dwarka Expressway. This will link Gurugram more closely with the wider Delhi-NCR metro network.
Implementation of the Project
The project will be executed by Gurugram Metro Rail Limited (GMRL). This special purpose company is owned by the Central Government and the Government of Haryana. The Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation Limited (HMRTC) will act as the nodal agency.
Importance of Gurugram Metro Phase 1
Currently, Gurugram has limited metro service. A 7-km stretch of the Delhi Metro Yellow Line and the 12.85-km Rapid Metro serve parts of the city. The addition of Gurugram Metro Phase 1 will expand coverage and reduce travel time.
The corridor will improve access to business centers, residential clusters, and public services. It will also ease pressure on roads by reducing traffic congestion.
Expected Impact on the City
Real estate experts expect the project to influence property demand. Areas along the Dwarka Expressway and other new corridors are likely to gain value. For Old Gurugram, experts suggest redevelopment opportunities could open up, similar to areas in Delhi that grew around metro lines.
Industry leaders believe the project will connect economic zones and make daily travel easier. It will also support urban growth and better land use.
Planned Stations in Gurugram Metro Phase 1
The proposed metro stations include:
- Hero Honda Chowk
- Subhash Chowk
- Cyber Park
- Ashok Vihar
- Palam Vihar
- Basai Village
- Udyog Vihar
These stations will cover a wide urban area and improve last-mile connectivity.
Looking Ahead
With construction beginning, the metro expansion marks a new phase for the city. Metro Phase 1 will provide better mobility, reduce traffic stress, and connect old and new neighborhoods. Once completed, it will play a central role in the city’s transport system and support long-term growth.
