The depot is located in Sector 33, Gurugram, and is a train stabling, inspection, and maintenance facility supporting the new metro corridor. According to the construction plan previously disclosed by GMRL, the depot is planned to occupy approximately 18 hectares, and the works cover the main depot buildings, related civil structures, and electrical and mechanical systems. Once completed, the facility will undertake train stabling, routine inspection, and maintenance operations, providing rolling stock inspection and depot support conditions for line operations.
The Gurugram Metro project is implemented by Gurugram Metro Rail Limited, a joint venture owned 50% by the Government of India and 50% by the Government of Haryana. The overall line connects Millennium City Centre and Cyber City and includes a branch to Dwarka Expressway, with a total length of 28.5 km, comprising a 26.65 km main line and a 1.85 km branch from Basai Village to Dwarka Expressway, with 27 elevated stations and one depot. The line will connect the old and new urban areas of Gurugram and cover commercial and industrial employment areas such as Udyog Vihar and Cyber City.
The line adopts 1435 mm standard gauge, 750 V DC third-rail power supply, and communications-based train control (CBTC), with trains operating in 3-car or 6-car formations and a designed maximum operating speed of 80 km/h. The depot is the only planned train base for the entire line, and its civil, architectural, and electrical and mechanical works need to interface with the subsequent construction of track, power supply, signaling, and rolling stock systems.
