Gurugram Metro Expansion to Boost Connectivity and Economic Growth

The Gurugram Metro Expansion Project is set to enhance intercity transportation with a 28.5-kilometer extension from Huda City Centre to Cyber City. Recently approved by the Union Cabinet, the project will feature 27 elevated stations, including key areas like Sector 22, Krishna Chowk, and Subhash Chowk. Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone on February 16, with completion expected by 2027. The new line will serve over 2.5 million residents, with ridership expected to reach 540,000 by 2026 and 726,000 by 2031. A highlight of the project is an underground station at Hero Honda Chowk, connecting to the Delhi-Gurgaon Dharuhera Rapid Rail Corridor, further improving regional connectivity. The project, with an estimated cost of INR 6,800 crores, aims to address transportation issues in Gurugram, especially in the slower-developing Old Gurugram area. Once operational, the metro expansion is expected to significantly boost economic growth and enhance commuting efficiency across the region.
