As of 15 Sep 2026, Gurgaon Rapid Metro is operational (since 14 Nov 2013). Latest news: 26 May 2026.
Gurgaon Rapid Metro is an operational metro system in Gurugram, run by DMRC. It covers 12.1 km across 11 stations, with fares from ₹20 to ₹35 and trains operating 06:05 to 22:00 roughly every 4 minutes. Its route map, stations, fares and timings are below.
The Rapid Metro Gurgaon is a compact, fully elevated loop serving the DLF Cyber City business district and surrounding sectors of Gurugram. Originally built and run as a private concession, India’s first privately financed metro, it was later taken over by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) after the concession was terminated.
A far larger new Gurugram metro corridor, planned under the Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation (HMRTC), is set to extend rapid transit deep into the city well beyond the original Rapid Metro loop.
Rapid Metro Gurgaon is the cautionary tale of Indian metro PPPs: a privately financed line whose concession collapsed over revenue and contractual disputes, ultimately absorbed by a public operator. For readers weighing private versus public metro delivery, it is the essential counterpoint to Hyderabad, and the planned HMRTC corridor shows the state reverting to public financing for the city’s next phase.
