Overview
- The draft DPR proposes a corridor from IFFCO Chowk to Surajpur via Sector 54, Faridabad’s Bata Chowk, the Sector 85–86 junction, and Noida Sectors 142/168 at an estimated cost of about ₹15,000 crore.
- NCRTC has suggested an elevated alignment, while Haryana officials want underground routing within Gurugram due to land constraints and to protect future road and mobility upgrades.
- Preliminary estimates indicate travel times of roughly 22 minutes from IFFCO Chowk to Faridabad and about 38 minutes to Noida, subject to final design choices.
- If implemented, the line would become the third RRTS through Haryana, joining the Delhi–Gurgaon–Manesar–Bawal and Delhi–Panipat–Karnal corridors that have Public Investment Board clearance and await Cabinet approval.
- In a separate step of the wider program, NCRTC invited bids to shift electrical utilities between Kashmiri Gate and Bhalswa on the Delhi–Panipat–Karnal corridor, indicating enabling works are progressing.
