New Metro Corridor: There is a plan to connect Yashobhoomi Metro Station located in Sector-25 of Dwarka, Delhi to Iffco Chowk Metro Station. It has been made by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). DMRC has shared this proposal with the Haryana government. They have sought approval from them to prepare the DPR of this metro line.
11 km corridor
Discussions are currently being held by the Haryana government in this regard. According to this proposal of DMRC, the length of this metro line will be about 11 km. It will start from Yashobhoomi, which will go from Bharthal, Bijwasan, Carterpuri, in front of Tau Devi Lal Park in Sector-23 towards Iffco Chowk on Delhi-Jaipur Highway. When the DPR is ready, it will be known how many metro stations will be built on this metro line and how much it will cost. At present, it is decided that an interchange station will be built at Sector-23 station of the proposed Old Gurugram Metro of Gurugram Metro Rail Limited (GMRL).
Who will benefit?
With this, passengers coming from Delhi will be able to easily reach the industrial and IT units developed in Udyog Vihar, DLF Cyber City, Hero Honda Chowk, Subhash Chowk, Sector-44. If the plan of this new metro line succeeds, then it will be easy for the people of Gurugram to go to DMRC’s Delhi Airport Line. Traveling from Delhi’s Blue Line to Sector-21 of Dwarka will become easier. This proposal of DMRC has not yet received the approval of the Haryana government.
