Cyber City station issue settled; RRTS to move gates in Gurugram

The impasse over the layout of the proposed metro and RRTS interchange at Cyber City in Gurugram has been resolved, according to officials, with the National Capital Region Transport Corporation agreeing to shift the gate locations of the station while retaining its DPR-approved site.

The station will continue to be built on land belonging to the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation in Sector 18, opposite the existing metro station next to the Rapid Metro, reported The Times of India. The change will affect only the entry and exit points.

A Gurugram Metropolitan Rapid Rail Corporation official said: “Our priority is smooth integration between the new metro line and the RRTS station. With NCRTC agreeing to shift its station entrance away from Shankar Chowk, we can now plan the terminal station and freeze the alignment.”

Officials said the access points will now be oriented towards the Hindustan Insecticides Limited side, with additional access planned near the Cyber Hub side. This is expected to ease pedestrian pressure at Shankar Chowk.

The dispute had centred on HSIIDC’s objections to locating three transit stations — the RRTS, the new metro station and the Rapid Metro — too close to each other at Shankar Chowk, citing expected congestion. NCRTC maintained that relocating the station earlier was not feasible due to its alignment and curvature.

In September, NCRTC was asked to examine shifting the station to HIL land to allow GMRL to finalise its terminal station planning. However, a government review in October concluded the station should remain at its DPR location for seamless integration and proximity to Cyber Hub.

The 93-km Delhi-Gurugram-Bawal RRTS corridor has been cleared by the Public Investment Board at an estimated cost of around ₹32,000 crore, with final cabinet approval awaited, reported The Times of India.
