Back in November 2020 – KEC International started building a couple of piers in Gurgaon through a subcontract by GR Infraprojects Ltd. (GRIL). A video showing how the piers currently look like can be viewed in this video by RSLive.

NCRTC has since 2020 been in talks with Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the World Bank to finance this RRTS line’s development for yet-to-be disclosed loan amounts. I haven’t heard of any loan deal(s) being close to finalization yet.

Since then, design and utility shifting works (construction prep-work) have been underway at various sites. A list of contracts awarded so far can be viewed here.
