About Gurgaon Rapid Metro Rail
Already home to a number of multinational companies, Gurgaon is ready for a fast ride towards a better tomorrow. Rapid Metro Rail, a rapid transit system designed to match the noteworthy modern buildings of Gurgaon, is now open for its commuters to connect DLF Cybercity to Delhi.
Built and operated by the Rapid Metro Rail Gurgaon Limited, it is India's first metro system completely based on PPP model, that is, fully financed by private companies. The IL&FS Transportation Networks (ITNL) handled the work of designing and building the metro system for Gurgaon, whereas Siemens Mobility looked after track building, communication systems and electrification. The work of construction of stations has been done by Maytas Infrastruture, Hyderabad. The Thales Group has installed the automatic fare collection system.
The Gurgaon metro rail system was planned earlier in 2009 and the foundation stone was laid on August 11, 2009. But the plan came into action in 2010. As reported by the authorities, the phase I has been completed at the cost of Rs 1,100 crore.
There are 6 stations in total, namely Sikanderpur, DLF Phase II, Belvedere Towers, Gateway Tower, Moulsari Avenue, DLF Phase III.
