Green Light for Gurgaon Metro Spur Line to Railway Station
Gurgaon’s transport network just got a big upgrade. The (GMRL) has approved a new 1.8 km metro spur line. This link will connect the upcoming metro corridor directly to Gurgaon Railway Station.
The spur will branch out from Sector 5 and reach the station at a cost of Rs 454 crore. This move will ease last-mile travel and improve public connectivity for thousands of daily commuters.
What the Spur Line Means for Gurgaon
A spur line extends from the main route to connect key spots. This new line will help passengers travel easily between old and new city areas.
Now, people can skip traffic and reach the railway station directly by metro. The project will also encourage more residents to use public transport instead of private vehicles.
Benefits for Daily Commuters
The new metro spur offers several benefits:
- Faster access to the railway station.
- Better last-mile connectivity across Gurgaon.
- Reduced dependence on taxis and autos.
- Lower road congestion during peak hours.
- Higher metro ridership potential.
More Coaches for Smoother Travel
The GMRL board also approved 24 new metro coaches, increasing the total to 84. Earlier, the government had cleared only 60 coaches.
With more trains, the metro can run every five minutes during peak hours. The extra coaches will help handle future passenger growth as the city expands.
Depot Construction and Faster Work
GMRL also decided to build a separate depot for the new corridor. The first detailed project report (DPR) missed the depot and spur line. A new report added both, and the board approved them after technical checks.
GMRL MD Chadra Shekhar Khare visited the Transport Nagar construction site. He told contractors to speed up work and follow safety standards. He also met Deputy Commissioner Ajay Kumar to discuss early land clearance for the casting yard.
Green Measures Along the Metro Route
The metro project will replace every tree removed along the route. GMRL plans to plant 18,100 saplings along the KMP Expressway. These will replace 1,801 trees felled for the corridor.
This effort shows GMRL’s focus on sustainable development and environmental balance.
Expert Advice
Sanjeev Singh, Managing Director of SKJ Landbase, emphasized that the new metro spur line will reshape Gurgaon’s transport landscape. He said, “A direct metro link to the Gurgaon railway station is a transformative step for the city. It will greatly improve commuter convenience, promote sustainable urban mobility, and enhance connectivity, supporting both daily travelers and the city’s long-term growth.”
He also added that such projects drive real estate value, attract more investors, and strengthen Gurgaon’s position as a leading urban hub in North India.
Why This Spur Line Matters
The 28.5 km metro corridor between Millennium City Centre and Cyber City earlier lacked a station link. Initially, officials planned a skywalk, but the state later chose a direct line.
RITES studied the plan and found it technically sound. The direct link will attract more passengers and improve travel for train users.

This project marks a new era for urban mobility in Gurgaon. The city is building a smarter, faster, and greener transport network.
When metro and rail services connect seamlessly, people move freely across the city. This also supports real estate growth, business expansion, and environmental goals.
Gurgaon is now closer to becoming a model city for sustainable transport.

The 1.8 km metro spur line to Gurgaon Railway Station is more than just an infrastructure update. It’s a step toward efficient, clean, and accessible urban transport.
With faster trains, better connectivity, and greener practices, GMRL is reshaping the city’s mobility future. Daily commuters will soon enjoy smoother journeys and a more connected Gurgaon.
