Properties in Gurugram
Quick answer: The RITES India Limited has suggested a metro corridor of 20 kilometers stretching from Bhondsi, located on the Sohna Road to Gurugram railway station. The project was initially planned to be constructed along Sohna road and would consist of 17 stations that have been diverted to run through the crowded residential sectors. Sohna Road Metro Plan
Introduction / News Hook
Exciting news is on the way regarding the transportation system of the Millennium City! RITES India Limited has recently made a very well-received proposal of constructing an impressive 20 km metro route from Bhondsi situated on the Gurugram-Sohna Highway up to the Gurugram Railway Station. If you work in this region, you certainly understand how great the metro route will be.
At first, the project envisaged the construction of the trains running along Sohna road only. But the project’s planners soon came to the conclusion that running trains via the highway would hardly attract enough number of passengers for the project to be a brilliant one.
Therefore, due to less expected ridership numbers on the highway section, representatives of the two authorities – Gurugram Metro Rail Limited (GMRL) and Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation (HMRTC) – are currently considering the options of alternative routes running right through densely populated residential areas. Even underground route option was suggested! Sohna Road Metro Plan
Why It Matters / Deeper Analysis
It is a smart decision for the local residents as well as property investors. The new scheme of transportation is smart because instead of following the open highway, the route passes through the vibrant neighborhoods.
The master plan consists of a wonderful network of 17 stations. People will begin their journey from Bhondsi Village and go to important stations like Mohan Nagar, Power Colony, Badshahpur, Sector 67, M3M Urbana Chowk, Sector 65, Golf Course Extension Road, Fresco Square, South City II, Sector 47, Bakhtawar Chowk, Medanta Hospital, Mini Secretariat, Sadar Bazar, Sector 8 (Prem Mandir), and finally Bhim Nagar, ending up at Gurugram Railway Station.
The change in alignment towards the Golf Course Extension Road and internal sectors is creating waves in the real estate sector itself. The property rates in proximity to these upcoming station are skyrocketing. Young working professionals are on a buying spree for new flats in Sector 65 and Sector 67 to live just beside the upcoming underground stations. Independent plots in Bhondsi and Badshahpur too have seen a huge rise in demand, thereby establishing the fact that proper infrastructure is directly responsible for generating wealth.

What Happens Next / Outlook
Thus, when can one expect to take this amazing new route? At present, the Detailed Project Report (DPR) is under thorough scrutiny by RITES, who are doing a cost feasibility study of the underground route to make sure that everything is in place before they begin construction.
The moment this 20 km route is approved, it will not merely serve as a separate route. It will have a very important interchange with the Old Gurugram Metro at Sector 5, making commuting easier than ever before.
With GMRL and HMRTC wrapping up their technical reviews and confirming the precise alignment, the excitement just keeps building. It’s safe to say that this venture will make a drastic difference in reducing commute times, solving the notorious Gurugram traffic woes, and revolutionizing the urban commute experience in general.
