Haryana Metro Projects: Strengthening Connectivity and Public Transport

In a bid to bolster connectivity and enhance public transportation options, the Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation (HMRTC) is spearheading several ambitious metro projects across the state. Chief Secretary Sanjeev Kaushal, also the HMRTC chairman, announced significant developments during a recent board meeting.

One of the key projects entails establishing a metro rail link connecting Delhi to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) at Badsa in Jhajjar district. This initiative aims to provide seamless access to specialized cancer care services offered by NCI, situated within the AIIMS-II campus.

The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has granted approval for a fresh ridership assessment, conducted by M/s RITES, to gauge the potential demand for this route. Additionally, a techno-feasibility study is underway to extend the existing metro line from Ballabhgarh to Palwal, catering to the growing transportation needs of these areas.

Further expanding metro connectivity within Gurugram, M/s RITES has extended a detailed project report to include the Sector-56 to Vatika Chowk stretch. With 28 elevated stations along a 36 km route, this project aims to address the region’s escalating transportation demands.

Efforts are also underway to explore innovative solutions like a double-decker viaduct for a potential metro line connecting Faridabad and Gurugram. Moreover, the Gurugram Metro Rail project, sanctioned by the Government of India, promises to significantly enhance intra-city connectivity within Gurugram, with tenders already floated for crucial aspects of its implementation.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for the Gurugram Metro Rail project, connecting Millennium City Centre to Cyber City, marking a significant milestone in the state’s metro expansion endeavors. With various studies and assessments underway to optimize existing infrastructure and augment passenger capacity, Haryana is poised for a transformative leap in transportation infrastructure.
