Gurugram Metro Rail Limited (GMRL) has formally requested the Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) to allocate parcels of land for the construction of entry and exit points at eight stations on the first phase of the Old Gurugram Metro project. The stations requiring land include Millennium City Centre, Sector 45, Sector 33, Udyog Vihar Phase Six, Sector 10, Sector 37, Basai and the station near Dwarka Expressway, with individual requirements ranging from around 287 sq m to over 700 sq m per site. Most of this land is reportedly HSVP-owned, and the authority is considering the request. Should any portions be privately held, acquisition will proceed under Gurugram Metro's updated land policy, supported by a state-level land acquisition committee chaired by the deputy commissioner. Metro construction is underway between Sector 45 and Bakhtawar Chowk, with elevated viaduct work poised for pillar slab erection by May.
Gurugram Metro Rail Limited (GMRL), the implementing agency for the new Gurugram metro corridor, has sought land from the Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) to build entry and exit structures at eight stations on the first phase of the Old Gurugram Metro project, according to a recent report. GMRL's request to HSVP reflects preparatory steps needed to support multimodal access and commuter flow once the metro becomes operational. Advertisement
Under the first phase of the new corridor, which extends from Millennium City Centre toward sectors such as 45, 33 and Udyog Vihar Phase Six, GMRL is constructing elevated metro infrastructure and stations. Work has already commenced between Sector 45 and Bakhtawar Chowk, and officials say slab work on structural pillars is expected to begin by May, marking tangible progress on the project.
For the stations where access infrastructure is needed, GMRL has specified land requirements in its communication to HSVP. The Millennium City Centre station, for example, requires around 575 sq m for one entry-exit gate and about 668 sq m for another. Other stations have similar requests, such as 676 sq m for Sector 45, 628 sq m for Udyog Vihar Phase Six, and 708 sq m at Basai, spread across multiple access points. At the station near Dwarka Expressway (Sector 101), two separate plots of roughly 371 sq m and 293 sq m are sought for entry and exit facilities.
HSVP officials confirmed that the land request is under consideration by higher authorities, while ongoing internal reviews determine the process and timeline for transfer. Most of the parcels identified are reportedly owned by HSVP, easing potential handovers. Should any plots be privately held, acquisition will proceed under the newly notified Gurugram Metro land policy, which includes provisions for negotiated purchase and statutory acquisition if needed. A state-level land acquisition committee, led by the deputy commissioner, is overseeing the work, and compensation is set at 25 per cent above standard predetermined rates where applicable.
Land for access points is critical to integrating the metro with surrounding urban areas and ensuring convenient commuter ingress and egress. These entry/exit gates are part of broader station design requirements, aligning with the corridor's strategy to improve last-mile connectivity and support projected ridership. As the project advances, securing timely land transfer and clearances will be key to meeting construction and opening targets for Gurugram's expanding metro network.
