Rapid Metro Gurugram: Stations, Fare, Timings and Route

The Rapid Metro Gurugram is a fully elevated light metro serving Cyber City and the Golf Course Road corridor. It works as a feeder to the Delhi Metro, connecting at Sikanderpur, and is the quickest way to move around Gurugram’s main business districts. This guide covers stations, timings, fares, the Delhi Metro connection and what is coming next.

Who Runs It Now

Rapid Metro began as a privately financed project under a concession arrangement, the first of its kind in India. That arrangement ended, and the system is now owned by HMRTC and operated by DMRC.

For passengers, the practical effect is that Delhi Metro tokens and smart cards work on Rapid Metro, so you no longer need separate tickets for the two systems.

Stations

The network has two sections, built in phases.

Phase 1: The Cyber City Loop

Opened in November 2013, running as a loop around the Cyber City business district:

• Sikanderpur
• Phase 2 (DLF Phase 2)
• Belvedere Towers
• Cyber City
• Moulsari Avenue
• Phase 3 (DLF Phase 3)
• Phase 1 (DLF Phase 1)

Phase 2: The Golf Course Road Extension

Opened in 2017, running south from Sikanderpur along Golf Course Road:

• Sector 42-43
• Sector 53-54
• Sector 54 Chowk
• Sector 55-56

Between them the two sections serve Cyber City, the DLF phases, and Sectors 42, 43, 53, 54, 55 and 56, covering much of Gurugram’s office and upmarket residential belt.

Connecting to the Delhi Metro

Sikanderpur is the interchange, where Rapid Metro meets the Delhi Metro Yellow Line. A covered walkway links the two, so you change without going out to the road.

The Yellow Line runs from Millennium City Centre Gurugram, formerly known as HUDA City Centre, north through Delhi to Samaypur Badli, which puts central Delhi within a single change from anywhere on the Rapid Metro.

One card for both. Your Delhi Metro smart card works on Rapid Metro, and tokens are valid across both systems. There is no need for a separate ticket when changing at Sikanderpur.

Fares

Travel within Phase 1 or within Phase 2	₹20
Travel between Phase 1 and Phase 2	₹35

Fares are revised from time to time, so confirm the current rate at the station or on the DMRC app before travelling.

Timings

Services run from around 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily, with trains roughly every four minutes. Exact first and last train times vary slightly by station, so check the display board if you are travelling at either end of the day.

The Trains

• Three-coach trains, running on standard gauge track.
• Powered by 750 V DC through a third rail, rather than overhead wires.
• Average speed around 35 km per hour, with a top speed of 80.
• Ballastless track and flange lubrication, which keeps noise and vibration down through built-up areas.
• Automatic sliding doors on both sides of each coach.

Accessibility

Stations have lifts, ramps and dedicated spaces for wheelchair users, along with tactile paths. Being fully elevated, every station requires vertical movement, so the lifts matter more here than on a system with ground-level stations.

Ridership

The system carries around 30,000 passengers a day on average, rising to roughly 48,000 on weekdays, reflecting how heavily it depends on office commuting into Cyber City rather than leisure travel.

What Comes Next: The Gurugram Metro

Separately from Rapid Metro, Gurugram Metro Rail Limited (GMRL) is building a much larger network for the city.

Length	About 28.5 km
Stations	Around 27, all elevated
Cost	Around ₹5,452 crore
Route	Millennium City Centre towards Cyber City, through old Gurugram

The alignment has been revised to run along Old Delhi Road towards Dundahera and then to Shankar Chowk on NH-48, which brings Udyog Vihar and more of old Gurugram into the network.

Two separate systems. Rapid Metro is the existing 11-station line serving Cyber City and Golf Course Road. The Gurugram Metro under GMRL is a new and much larger project still under construction. They are frequently confused, so check which one a route description refers to.
