The Haryana state cabinet has approved the feasibility study for a 3,525‑kilometre metro network, marking a major step toward a statewide rapid‑transit system.
New Delhi, Oct 9 (PT Pulse) – The Haryana cabinet gave its nod to the feasibility report for a 3,525‑kilometre metro corridor that would span the state, officials said. The approval signals the government's intent to move beyond preliminary studies and begin detailed project planning for what could become one of India's longest urban rail networks.
The feasibility study, prepared by a consortium of engineering firms, evaluates route alignments, ridership forecasts and integration with existing transport hubs in major cities such as Gurgaon, Faridabad and Panipat. It also outlines the technical and environmental parameters required for a phased rollout, starting with high‑density corridors near the National Capital Region.
With the report cleared, the next step is to prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) and seek funding from both state and central sources, as well as potential private partners under public‑private partnership models. Officials expect the metro system to ease road congestion, cut travel times and stimulate economic activity across the region.
State officials indicated that the project will be monitored by a dedicated task force, which will coordinate with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs to align the metro plan with national urban mobility goals. A timeline for construction has not been announced, but the approval is seen as a decisive move toward modernising Haryana's public transport infrastructure.
