The Gurugram Metro is a rapid transit system serving the city of Gurugram in Haryana, India. The metro network consists of one operational line (Rapid Metro), with a total length of serving 11 stations, all of them elevated. Line 2 of the Gurgaon Metro is under construction since 2025. The system uses standard-gauge tracks.

The system is connected to Delhi Metro at Sikanderpur by a footbridge. A second connection to the Delhi Metro is underway at Millennium City Centre as part of the under-construction Line 2.

History Gurugram Metro Rail Limited (GMRL), a 50:50 Joint Venture (JV) Company of Government of India (GoI) and Government of Haryana (GoH), was created in February 2024 to develop what is now Line-2 of the Gurugram Metro. GMRL also owns the Rapid Metro since 2024, with operations being transitioned from Delhi Metro Rail Corporation to GMRL to manage rising ridership.

The first phase of the Rapid Metro opened on 14 November 2013. The second phase began commercial operation on 31 March 2017. In September 2019, IL&FS announced that it did not have the resources to continue running the Rapid Metro due to financial issues with the company and was looking for another entity to fund and take over operations. After a short dispute with the Haryana government and a court ruling from the Punjab and Haryana High Court, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation took over the operation of the line from IL&FS.
