Haryana govt likely to approve new Gurgaon-Delhi metro link

The Haryana government is likely to give its approval for a proposed link connecting Gurugram’s Palam Vihar with New Delhi’s Dwarka Sector 21.

The new Gurgaon-Delhi link, which is proposed between Gurugram and Delhi, is likely to be discussed in a meeting chaired by Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar.

Presently, Gurugram is linked to Delhi via a single route, which is the Yellow line of Delhi Metro that culminates at Huda City Centre.

The detailed project report (DPR) for this project has already been finalised.

Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation Ltd (HMRTC) said that the final report on the project has been made by Rail India Technical and Economic Service Ltd (RITES), which predicts the estimated cost to be around Rs 2,281 crore.

In 2019, the project was first proposed and is estimated to be achieved by 2027. RITES will present the report to Khattar during the meeting, and if the project gets sanctioned, it will be jointly executed by HMRTC and RITES.

The new link is an 8.4 km stretch, out of which the 4.9-km stretch from Rezang La Chowk to Sector 111 will be in Gurugram, and the remaining 3.5 km stretch, from Sector 111 to Dwarka Sector 21 will be in NCR. The corridor will have seven stations, including two interchange stations, which means four in Gurugram and three in New Delhi.

The stations under the corridor will be constructed in Rezang La Chowk, Sector 111, Chauma, Sector 110A, Dwarka Sector 25, and Dwarka Sector 21.
