The Haryana government is planning to run metro services on the proposed track of the Namo Bharat Train between Gurugram and Faridabad, which is part of the larger corridor connecting Gurugram to Greater Noida. The move is aimed at improving regional connectivity and strengthening public transport across major cities in the National Capital Region.
Namo Bharat Train Corridor to Host Metro Services Between Gurugram and Faridabad
The proposal has been put forward by the Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation (HMRTC), which has recommended that the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) incorporate the changes in the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the corridor. Officials said the plan includes running metro services on certain sections of the Namo Bharat track to make better use of the infrastructure.

The proposed corridor has a total length of about 64 kilometres
The proposed corridor has a total length of about 64 kilometres, of which nearly 52 kilometres fall within Haryana. In Gurugram, the corridor will extend from IFFCO Chowk to Gwal Pahari, covering a distance of around 14.5 kilometres.
Under the proposed plan, eight metro stations are expected to be developed in Gurugram and ten in Faridabad along the route. An important interchange station will be constructed at IFFCO Chowk, where the Gurugram–Faridabad–Greater Noida Namo Bharat corridor will connect with the route linking Delhi to Shahjahanpur via Gurugram. A metro station will also be built at the same location.
Additional metro stations are planned at Sector-29, Sector-52, Wazirabad and Sector-57, while an important interchange facility is proposed at Sector-61. This location will serve as a junction for the Namo Bharat station, a metro station, and the proposed metro corridor connecting Sector-56 to Pachgaon.
After entering Faridabad, metro operations are planned on the Namo Bharat track for about 16 kilometres, starting from Sainik Colony and extending to Badshahpur. The first metro station in Faridabad under this plan is expected to be built at Sainik Colony.
Since the Namo Bharat Train operates at high speeds of 160 to 180 kilometres per hour, authorities have also proposed installing noise barrier systems in residential areas along the corridor. These barriers will help reduce noise levels in densely populated neighbourhoods through which the track passes.
Officials believe the integrated corridor will significantly improve connectivity between Gurugram, Faridabad and Greater Noida while providing faster and more efficient public transport options for commuters across the region.
