Metro Line From Huda City Centre To Cyber City
The extension of the Metro network from HUDA City Centre to Cyber City in Gurgaon, a 28.5 km route, was previously approved by the union cabinet in June 2023. Over the following four years, 27 new stations would be built at an estimated cost of Rs 5,452.7 crore.
Basai Village will be connected to the Dwarka Expressway by a 1.85-kilometre offshoot that has one stop. The main corridor, which runs from HUDA City Centre to Cyber City, will be 26.65 km long and have 26 stations.
The project is expected to be finished in four years from the date of sanction and will be carried out by the HMRTCL.
Along with providing a connection to the Indian Railways, the metro line seeks to link Old and New Gurgaon. The network will be connected to Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport during the next phase.
