Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

According to bank's website, the proposed project aims to enhance urban public transport by developing the proposed Gurugram metro rail. It is the first project of a proposed Series of Project (SOP) developing a hierarchical and integrated transport system at three-levels to promote spatially balanced regional development and support Haryana's growth. The first level focuses on enhancing urban public transport in major cities starting from Gurugram Metro (from Millennium City Center to Cyber City) (SOP-1), integrated with expanded metro network and electric buses in (SOP-2), will also be supported by the World Bank (WB) under the Haryana Clean Air Project (P510686). The second level aims at improving regional connectivity between major economic hubs and their peripheral towns within a 150 km radius, as exemplified by the Delhi-SNB and Delhi Karnal regional rail corridors (SOP-3). The third level emphasizes the importance of intercity transport (SOP-4) to connect small-medium size cities with each other as well as with the major cities, with a significant role for buses to boost economic activities, facilitate access to jobs and services, and promote inclusive growth, by providing safe and accessible services to all, including vulnerable populations.The Gurugram Metro Rail project (SOP-1) consists of four components: Component 1: Develop a world-class metrorail system. This component will finance the construction of the elevated metro line in Gurugram to provide the backbone infrastructure of mass transit system in the city including i) In two packages, including the first civil works contract (viaduct structure of 15.5km and main structure of 14 stations) already under construction and financed by GMRL's own funding and the IBRD-financed second contract, consisting of viaducts structure of 13.5km, main structures of 13 stations, Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) and architectural finishing of all 27 stations. The stations will incorporate features of deploying solar panel to generate energy for use in the station, user friendly and inclusive station design and finishing, as well as climate resilient facilities against flooding and extreme heat; ii) Rolling stocks; and iii) Systems of traction and power supply, telecommunication, signaling, Automatic Fare Collection (AFC), lifts and escalators (under PPP), and National Common Mobility Card (NCMC). Component 2: Maximize ridership and farebox revenues. This component will finance i) Multimodal Integration (MMI) infrastructure within the stations' within the stations' right of way (RoW); ii) First -Last Mile (FLM) services with fully PPP; and iii) Digital integration with fully PPP. Component 3: Capitalize of GMRL and project management. This component will support i) GMRL to utilize the resources provided under this component to increase the attractiveness to raise financing from DFIs and/or CBs through a sequenced financing approach; and ii) supporting GMRL in its daily operations, such as construction management, technical operations, procurement management, monitoring and evaluation, E&S compliance, and relevant areas to achieve the PDO.
