HSVP hastens ₹5,900-cr Gurgaon-Faridabad Metro Line

Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) has fast-tracked the groundwork on the 32-km long Gurugram-Faridabad Metro project to connect the twin satellite cities at an investment of ₹5900 crore. Jitender Yadav, Gurugram HSVP Administrator, informed that they conducted a field survey from Vatika Chowk to Bata Chowk along the entire alignment, studying the location of stations and the land required for allied purposes. The HSVP has proposed an additional station in the original alignment near the confluence of Golf Course Road and Ghata village as the population of the area is expected to rise. The survey was carried out jointly by HSVP, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation (HMRTC). The Gurugram-Faridabad light metro rail project, which will crisscross through Vatika Chowk on Sohna road with Bata Chowk in Faridabad, initially has 11 stations, five in Faridabad and six in Gurugram. The stations planned are at Bata Chowk, Aravali Golf Course, Badkhal Enclave, Pali Stone Crusher Zone, Police Chowki Manger — all in Faridabad — and Mandi village, Sector 56, Rosewood city, South City 2, Sushant Lok III and Vatika Chowk along Golf Course Road in Gurugram.
