A recent news article in The Hindu covering the progress of Gurgaon Metro’s Phase 2 (See: Project Details) has reaffirmed that construction on the 6.5 km southern extension of the line will be over by March 2016. After conducting trial runs over a period of 3 months, the extension will then open to commuters in June.
Gurgaon Metro’s CEO, Rajiv Banga, also had to add that additional train-sets were on their way from China and will start arriving in Gurgaon by the end of this month.
