Recently, the Union Cabinet has approved this metro expansion project which has faced a delay of several years. However, once this project is completed, it will connect two sides of Gurgaon.

On February 16, "Prime Minister Narendra Modi" laid the foundation stone of the Gurugram metro extension project in Rewari. As already stated the length of this metro route will be around 28.5 km. The length of the main line will be 26.65 km and the remaining 1.85 km stretch will be the spur that is constructed from Basai Village to Dwarka Expressway.

How will this Extended Metro Line Benefit the People?

This extended metro line from Huda City Centre to Cyber City will benefit more than 2.5 million people. Not only that but this development will also boost the economic development of this area. As per the projections done by the authorities, the expected number of people traveling by 2026 is 5.4 lakh people and by 2031 is 7.26 lakh.

As per the "Latest News on New Gurugram Metro Line", the Gurgaon Metro will connect the "Delhi-Gurgaon-Dharuhera Rapid Rail Corridor" via a New Underground Intersecting Station. In the latest news, it was mentioned that the Gurgaon metro will have enhanced connectivity through the addition of an underground metro station on the Delhi-Gurgaon-Dharuhera Rapid Rail Corridor.

This new underground metro station will be constructed at Hero Honda Chowk and this metro station will also serve as an intersection point for the upcoming Gurugram Metro Rail Project.

The Gurugram metro project was originally conceived in 2017 but multiple changes in the route alignment and the delays in the finalization of the DPR (detailed project report) caused delays in the project approval. However, the residents of Gurgaon have been demanding a metro rail within Gurugram for many years because the absence of a quality mass transportation system causes them to be dependent on private vehicles to commute within the city.

The Key Features of Gurgaon Metro Expansion Project

Let’s discuss some key features of the Gurgaon Metro Expansion Project –

The Connectivity of Gurgaon Metro Stations

The new metro line is being developed to connect New Gurgaon to Old Gurgaon. The improvement in connectivity will be helpful in developing the old Gurgaon Region. The development in old Gurgaon is comparatively slow and right now no metro line connects old Gurgaon with other parts of the city.

However, the metro stations mentioned above can be divided into 2 segments i.e. the metro stations in Old Gurgaon and the metro stations in New Gurgaon.

The metro stations in Old Gurgaon area are as follows –

• Udyog Vihar Phase 6,
• Sector 10,
• Sector 37,
• Basai Village,
• Sector 9,
• Sector 7,
• Sector 4,
• Sector 5,
• Ashok Vihar,
• Sector 3,
• Bajghera Road,
• Palam Vihar Extension,
• Palam Vihar,
• Sector 23A,
• Sector 22,
• Udyog Vihar Phase 4, and
• Udyog Vihar Phase 5.

Conclusion –

This expansion of the new Gurgaon metro line will help resolve the connectivity issues within Gurgaon. However, right now Gurgaon has limited options for inter-city commute. So, this expansion will improve the inter-city commute. Moreover, it will also improve the overall economic development of Old Gurugram which will have a positive impact on real estate in the Old Gurugram area.
