Name and Location
Gurgaon metro rail network project, India.

Client
Rapid Metro Rail Gurgaon.

Project Description
The Gurgaon metro is being developed to meet the growing transportation requirements between Gurgaon and Delhi.

The project will be completed in phases.

Phase 1 comprises a 5.1 km rail loop, connecting Cyber City, NH-8 and Sikanderpur station on the Delhi Metro Line 2. It has six stations: Sikanderpur, DLF Phase 2, Belvedere Towers, Cyber city, Moulsari Avenue and Cyber Green Infinity Towers.
The second phase, known as the Rapid Metro Extension, will result in a 6.5 km rail line extension to the south and includes six elevated metro stations – DLF Phase 1, Sushant Lok, Sec 42 Crossing, Sector 54-53, AIT Chowk and Sector 55-56.

The stations will be situated above existing carriageways and will include residential and commercial spaces. Once the Rapid Metro Extension is completed, an average of 60 000 vehicles will be off the roads and it will also result in a reduction of 90 000 t of carbon emissions.

Phase 3, also known as North Extension, is still in planning, but will provide connectivity to Udyog Vihar and Old Gurgaon.

Value
Phase 1 will cost an estimated Rs1 088 crore and Phase 2 Rs 2 100 crore.

Duration
Construction of Phase 1 started in 2008 and was scheduled to start operations in April.

Phase 2 is expected to be completed by late 2016.
