Residents of Gurugram and Dwarka have another reason to cheer this festive season with the Haryana cabinet on Wednesday approving the detailed project report (DPR) of the much delayed Metro extension between Palam Vihar in Gurugam and Sector 21 in Dwarka, a project that is expected to cost ₹1,851 crore.
A government spokesperson said Haryana will bear ₹1,541 crore of the project cost, while the remaining will be borne by the Centre.
According to the DPR, the spur or metro extension connecting Rezangla Chowk in Palam Vihar and Dwarka Sector 21 station will be 8.4km long, of which 5km will be in Gurugram — from Palam Vihar to Sector 111 — and the remaining 3.4km in Delhi.
