The second phase of
Rapid Metro Rail Gurgaon was launched today by the Haryana Chief Minister,
Manohar Lal Khattar. With Siemens acting as a lead contractor, the second phase
of Gurgaon metro has been successfully completed. The minimum headway will be
270 seconds which will give a line capacity to carry about 30,000 passengers.
Siemens has supplied seven three-car trains for the extension. Each train can
accommodate up to 800 passengers. Siemens has also supplied its Sicas ECC type
electronic interlocking, LZB 700M automatic train control with ATP/ATO, and its
Vicos OC 501 ATS system.
Phase I of the Rapid
Metro Gurgaon has been in operation since November 2013 and connects Gurugram
Cyber City with Sikanderpur and has a proven record of more than 99.88%
punctuality. With the launch of Phase II, the connectivity has increased with
additional 5 stops between Sikandarpur and DoubleTree Hotel in Sector 55/56.
The southward extension of the Rapid Metro Rail will ease the commute to Golf
Course and Golf Course Extension, greatly improving the poor connectivity in
this rapidly growing commercial hub of the National Capital Region.
