About Gurugram Rapid Metro Rail

---

Already home to a number of multinational companies, Gurugram is ready for a fast ride towards a better tomorrow. Rapid Metro Rail, a rapid transit system designed to match the noteworthy modern buildings of Gurugram, is open for its commuters to connect DLF Cybercity to Delhi.

Built and operated by the Rapid Metro Rail Gurugram Limited, it is India's first metro system completely based on PPP model, that is, fully financed by private companies. The IL&FS Transportation Networks (ITNL) handled the work of designing and building the metro system for Gurugram, whereas Siemens Mobility looked after track building, communication systems and electrification. The work of construction of stations was done by Maytas Infrastruture, Hyderabad. The Thales Group installed the automatic fare collection system.

The Gurugram metro rail system was planned earlier in 2009 and the foundation stone was laid on August 11, 2009. But the plan came into action in 2010. As reported by the authorities, the phase-I was completed at the cost of Rs 1,100 crore. The phase-II was opened to public on 31st March 2017 and five new stations were added. With this, 6.6 km of double track was also added. The construction of phase-II was started in 2013 and completed at the cost of 2,400 crore.

There are 11 stations in total, namely Sikanderpur, DLF Phase II, Belvedere Towers, Gateway Tower, Moulsari Avenue, DLF Phase III, DLF Phase-I, Sushant Lok, Sector 53-54, AIT Chowk and Sector 55-56.
