World Bank loan for Gurugram Metro

The much-awaited Gurugram Metro Phase II project has received a major financial boost, with the World Bank expected to approve a loan of nearly ₹2,800 crore. The loan will reportedly cover around 60% of the total project cost. Final approval from India’s Department of Economic Affairs is likely by July 2026, paving the way for the project’s construction phase.

The 13-kilometre Metro Phase II corridor will connect Sector 9 to DLF Cyber City, improving connectivity across major residential and commercial areas. The route will pass through Palam Vihar, Ashok Vihar, and Gurugram Railway Station, offering better access to technology hubs and easing traffic congestion on NH-48. Construction work is expected to accelerate after the monsoon, with the project targeted for completion by 2027.
