Old Gurugram Metro Project Gains Momentum; GMRL Eyes German Funding for New Rolling Stock
GMRL is in talks with Germany's KfW to fund 28 modern three-coach train sets for the upcoming Old Gurugram Metro project.
The Old Gurugram Metro Rail Project is progressing steadily, with authorities moving ahead on key infrastructure and financing plans. According to sources, the upcoming metro system is expected to feature a modern design similar to rapid transit trains, offering improved comfort and efficiency for commuters.
Gurugram Metro Rail Limited (GMRL) is currently in discussions with Germany's development finance institution, KfW, to secure funding for the procurement of rolling stock, including the purchase of new metro coaches. The financial negotiations are ongoing, and representatives from Germany are presently visiting Gurugram to assess the project and review its technical, financial, and operational aspects.
As part of the first phase, GMRL plans to procure 28 train sets, each consisting of three coaches. The new trains are expected to be equipped with modern passenger amenities, advanced safety systems, and energy-efficient technology to enhance the overall travel experience.
The Old Gurugram Metro Project is considered a major step toward strengthening the city's public transport infrastructure. Once operational, the metro is expected to improve connectivity across key residential and commercial areas, reduce traffic congestion, and provide a faster, more reliable mode of transportation for thousands of daily commuters.
Officials believe the collaboration with KfW could play a significant role in ensuring high-quality infrastructure and international standards in the execution of the project. The visit by the German delegation reflects the growing cooperation between India and Germany in the field of urban transportation and sustainable infrastructure development.
Further details regarding the funding agreement and the project timeline are expected to be announced after the ongoing discussions are concluded.
