Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone of Gurugram Metro Rail project on February 16.
The project will be developed at a cost of about Rs 5,450 crore.
The project, with a total length of 28.5 Kms, will connect Millennium City Centre to Udyog Vihar Phase-5 and merge in the existing metro network of Rapid Metro Rail Gurugram at Moulsari Avenue station near Cyber City, the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said in a statement on Thursday.

It will also have a spur at Dwarka Expressway.
The project is an important step towards realising the Prime Minister’s vision to provide citizens with world class environment-friendly mass rapid urban transport systems.
The Union Cabinet, in a meeting chaired by the Prime Minister on June 7 last year, had approved metro connectivity from HUDA City Centre (which has been renamed as Millennium City Centre) to Cyber City in Gurugram with a spur to Dwarka Expressway covering a distance of 28.50 km having 27 stations on the route.
This will be a standard gauge line of 1435 mm (5 ft 8.5 inches). The entire project will be elevated. The spur from Basai village has been provided for connectivity to the depot.
The project is proposed to be completed in four years from the date of sanction of the project and is to be implemented by Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation Limited (HMRTC) which will be set up as a 50:50 Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) of the Government of India and Government of Haryana after sanction order is issued.
The main feature of this line is to connect New Gurugram with Old Gurugram.
