While Delhi Metro slaves away on the line connecting Gurgaon’s office complexes with Delhi’s housing, we are hearing word that final approvals will soon be granted for Gurgaon’s internal metro line.

The internal metro service being proposed by a consortium of IL&FS and DLF will connect with the Delhi Metro, and service DLF’s residential communitites and business centers. It is being rumored that a common ticketing platform may be in place making it easier for commuters to connect with Delhi Metro Rail.

While this is an exciting development, concern continues to mount in Gurgaon over the lack of a quality public transportation option. While many are confident the Metro connection with Delhi will alleviate some of the traffic, concerns remain over the sorry state of many main roads throughout Gurgaon.
