Chandigarh, June 7– Haryana Chief Minister, Sh. Manohar Lal's vision of improving road and metro connectivity in the National Capital Region, particularly in Gurugram, received a significant boost today as the Union Cabinet accorded approval to a new metro line from HUDA City Centre to Cyber City, Gurugram, as well as a spur line connecting the Dwarka Expressway.

The Chief Minister has expressed gratitude to Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi and the Union Cabinet for this. The project will cost Rs 5,452 crore.

This elevated route will be 28.50 km long and will have 27 stations. Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation Limited (HMRTC) will implement the said project. At present there is no metro line in Old Gurugram. The construction of this line will connect New Gurugram with Old Gurugram. It would also help to improve traffic flow and increase employment opportunities in the NCR region.
