Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for the Old Gurugram Metro project on February 16, 2024. The 28.5-kilometer metro project, which is expected to cost ₹5,452.72 crores, will have 27 stations. The metro will begin at the Millennium City Centre Metro Station, travel via Sectors 9 and 9A, Dwarka Expressway, 4-7, Palam Vihar, 23 and 23A, Udyog Vihar, Bakhtawar Chowk, Hero Honda Chowk, and ultimately reach Cyber City.

Expansion Plans 

  • The Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation (HMRTC) and Gurgaon Metro Rail Limited are investigating possible Galleria Road expansions.
  • Plans are in place to use Golf Course Road to link the Rapid Metro's Sector 42-43 Station with Millennium City Centre Station.

​Other Significant Plannings

  • It is still unclear how many stations will really be along this new route.
  • According to an HMRTC representative, there are green spaces along GMDA's route that might be able to house future stations.
  • A 5-kilometer-long geotechnical survey has provided progress on the extension plan from Millennium City Center to Cyber City via Old Gurugram. 
  • Of the 28.5-kilometer metro line, 12.76 km will be surveyed by a private company hired by HMRTC.

GMDA also wants to expand the existing road. There will be road enlargement on both sides and a maintenance of a half-meter divider in the center. With multiple entities collaborating for streamlined development, the Old Gurugram Metro project is positioned to boost commuter convenience and improve connectivity across critical locations.
