Gurugram, India (Metro Rail Today): DB Engineering & Consulting (DB E&C) has officially signed the General Consultant (GC) contract for the upcoming Gurugram Metro expansion project, marking a significant milestone in strengthening urban mobility in India’s second-largest IT hub.

The contract was signed by DB E&C’s senior leadership — Aditya Bharadwaj, Head of Project Delivery India, and Nataraj K. M., Executive Director India — along with senior representatives from Gurugram Metro Rail Limited (GMRL) and consortium partner Hill International, Inc.

A 28.50 km Fully Automated Metro Corridor

The new metro corridor will span 28.50 km, designed to enhance east–west and north–south connectivity across Gurugram. The project consists of:

• Provide seamless connectivity to major residential and commercial hubs
