A change has been made in the revised detailed project report (DPR) for
Metro rail connectivity between Gurugram and Faridabad -- the two
industrial districts of Haryana.
The DPR has been sent to the
Haryana Chief Secretary, Vijai Vardhan, for approval, said a Gurugram
Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) official on Wednesday.
After
getting the approval, work would be started at the ground level, the
official added. Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar had announced
metro connectivity between Gurugram and Faridabad in 2016. After this
the project DPR was prepared by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC).
According
to the revised DPR, the 32.15-km long metro route between the two
districts would have eleven stations, of which six would be in Gurugram
district and five in Faridabad district. The previous DPR had a total of
eight stations, of which only three stations were in Gurugram district
while five were in Faridabad district.
In the revised DPR, a
proposal has also been made to construct an additional station keeping
in view the future prospects and passengers' footfall. However, on the
instructions of the Haryana Chief Secretary, in September 2020, the team
of GMDA, Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) and DMRC had surveyed
the metro route between Faridabad to Gurugram.
According to an
official privy to the project, three more stations were planned to be
built in Gurugram. As per a proposal the proposed stations would be
built at Sushant Lok, Sushant Lok Phase-3 and Rosewood City.
According
to GMDA officials, the metro expansion work is expected to be completed
by 2025. The officials also informed that the development authority has
also proposed a station in Sector-56. However, this station will not be
built yet.
According to officials, if there is any need in the
future, the station would be constructed in Sector-56 only. The proposed
station in Sector-56 would have Rapid Metro Rail connectivity which
would be a bridge with Delhi Metro's yellow line.
An interchange
facility has been proposed at the Sector-56 station, which would allow
passengers to switch trains without having to exit the metro station.
Meanwhile, metro stations will be built in Faridabad at Bata Chowk,
Aravalli Golf Course, Badkhal Enclave, Pali Stone Crusher Zone and
Mangar Police Chowki.
The proposed stations in Gurugram would be
constructed at Mandi Village, Sector-56, Sushant Lok, Sushant Lok
Phase-3, Rosewood City and Vatika Chowk.
"A revised DPR of the
project has been sent to the higher authority for approval. A total of
11 stations are proposed in the revised DPR, five of them are in
Faridabad and six in Gurugram. As soon as the approval will be received,
work will be started at the ground level, which will have a deadline
for completion by 2025," said a senior GMDA official associated with the
project requesting anonymity.
