In a fresh drive to expand Gurgaon’s metro network, the Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation (HMRTC) has issued tenders for the preparation of Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for two new metro corridors that will bridge the gap between the city’s older and newer sectors, according to a report by TOI.
This development unfolds even as construction of the much-anticipated Millennium City Centre–Cyber City metro line remains on the horizon, still months away from breaking ground.
The first proposed corridor, a 17-km stretch from Bhondsi to Gurgaon Railway Station, is designed to alleviate congestion along critical traffic arteries, including Sohna Road and NH-8.
The metro line will traverse key locations such as Vatika Chowk, Subhash Chowk, Rajiv Chowk, Sohna Chowk, Sector 4-7 Chowk, and Railway Road, ensuring better urban mobility.
Notably, the corridor will integrate with the Millennium City Centre–Cyber City metro line at Subhash Chowk and Sector 5, while also linking with the forthcoming Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) at Rajiv Chowk—fostering a seamless transit ecosystem.
The second proposed corridor, spanning 13.6 km, will connect Golf Course Extension Road to Sector 5, running through densely populated residential and commercial areas. Its route will encompass crucial points such as Hong Kong Market (Sector 57), Ardee City, Signature Tower, Maharana Pratap Chowk, Atul Kataria Chowk, and Sheetla Mata Road.
Positioned as a transformative project, this corridor is expected to significantly ease commutes between Gurgaon’s bustling corporate districts and its older neighbourhoods.
“We have floated tenders for the DPRs of two new metro lines. The 17-km route will establish a seamless connection from SPR to major transit hubs, while the interchanges with the metro, RRTS corridor, and railway station will enhance both city and regional travel. Likewise, the 13-km line will provide much-needed connectivity to densely inhabited areas,” an HMRTC official stated.
Progress on the DPR tendering process had been stalled due to the enforcement of the Model Code of Conduct during Haryana’s assembly elections in October. With the electoral process now concluded, the project is regaining momentum.
