Gurugram is set to get a major boost in public transport with the introduction of a new metro line connecting Millennium City Centre to Cyber City. The project, led by Gurugram Metro Rail Limited (GMRL), will span 28.5 km and feature 27 stations, including a spur from Basai. The total estimated cost for the metro line is ₹5,452 crores. Work on Phase 1 is expected to begin soon, with GMRL having already floated tenders for construction from Millennium City Centre to Sector 9.
Gurugram Metro Phase 1: Infrastructure Push with Green Commitment
Phase 1 of the project has a budget of ₹1,286 crores and will include the construction of 10 key stations: Millennium City Centre, Sector 45, Subhash Chowk, Sector 33, Udyog Vihar Phase 6, Sector 10, Sector 37, Basai Village, Sector 9, and Sector 101. To proceed, GMRL is seeking clearance for 5,800 sqm of land and has submitted necessary paperwork and designs to Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) for a no-objection certificate.
In addition to infrastructure development, GMRL is also taking environmental considerations into account. Since 1,660 trees will be cut down for the metro’s construction, the company has committed to planting 16,600 trees as part of compensatory afforestation. This initiative will be undertaken in collaboration with the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) and is expected to cover 17 hectares of land. Once completed, the new metro line will significantly ease intracity travel, offering a faster, greener, and more efficient commute option for residents and office-goers in Gurugram.
Summary:
Gurugram’s new 28.5 km metro line will connect Millennium City Centre to Cyber City with 27 stations. Phase 1, costing ₹1,286 crore, covers 10 stations. GMRL seeks land clearance and plans to plant 16,600 trees to offset environmental impact. The metro promises faster, eco-friendly commuting, boosting connectivity and easing travel across the city.
