Gurugram (Chetna Dhankhar/Mohit Kumar/Paridhi Dhasmana), September 5 — After years of promises, plans, and political ping-pong, Old Gurugram is finally getting its metro moment. A 28.5-kilometer lifeline with 27 stations will soon stitch Old and New Gurugram together—costing a cool ₹5,400 crore but promising priceless relief from traffic hell.
The project kicked off with much fanfare at GMDA’s Sector-44 office, where Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini and Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar performed the ground-breaking rituals. Rao Narbir Singh was all smiles in the frame. conspicuously missing? Rao Inderjit Singh—whose absence spoke louder than the ceremonial chants.
Phase One is where the wheels begin to turn: a 15.22-km stretch linking Millennium City Centre with 14 shiny new stations. Price tag? ₹1,503.63 crore. Deadline? 30 months (but Gurugramites know better than to set their watches by government timelines).
If this metro actually stays on track, it won’t just cut down on honking, sweating, and snail-paced traffic; it might just redefine how the city breathes, moves, and hustles. With the bhoomi poojan complete, the city has the green signal. Now Gurugram waits—not for the next traffic jam, but for a metro that can finally outrun it.
