Upcoming Infrastructure at Reliance MET City: What’s Actually Planned (2026)

Last updated: September 21, 2026.

“Upcoming infrastructure” is one of the most overused phrases in Indian real estate marketing — every project claims a metro, expressway or corridor is “coming soon.” For Reliance MET City, some of that is real and dated, some is years from any construction start, and at least one project has been formally approved since 2017 without visible completion. Here’s what we could actually verify, sourced separately from MET City’s own marketing, with dates and current status on each.

1. The Garhi Harsaru–Farukhnagar–Jhajjar Rail Spur (Still at DPR Stage)

The Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor (HORC) — a 121.7 km freight-and-passenger line running from Palwal to Sonipat via Sohna, Manesar and Kharkhoda, approved at a budget of roughly Rs 5,617 crore as of September 2020 — includes a planned spur: a 36 km line from Garhi Harsaru through Farukh Nagar to Jhajjar, intended to connect HORC to both Gurugram-Delhi and Jhajjar. As of this writing, this spur is still under detailed project report (DPR) development, not under construction. This is the single most relevant piece of “upcoming” rail infrastructure for MET City, given the developer’s own repeated references to Farukh Nagar Railway Station — but it has no confirmed construction start date yet.

The HORC mainline itself is moving at very different speeds section by section: the Manesar–New Patli stretch has reportedly been operational since 2025, three mid-corridor sections have a stated June 2026 target, and the sections nearest Sonipat aren’t expected before 2028–2029. None of these mainline sections run directly through MET City’s own sectors — the relevant piece for MET City specifically is the still-in-DPR Jhajjar spur.

2. The Jhajjar (Bhadsa)–Dwarka Expressway Road Link

A planned six-lane road would connect AIIMS’ National Cancer Institute at Bhadsa in Jhajjar to the Dwarka Expressway via Sector 102, Gurgaon — a roughly 9 km stretch crossing five intermediate villages, with a total project cost cited around Rs 272 crore (roughly Rs 207 crore for land acquisition and Rs 65 crore for construction). This is a materially different, and shorter, project than the Dwarka Expressway itself, which MET City’s own site already lists as an “upcoming” connectivity link in general terms.

Here’s the caveat that matters most: the administrative approval for this road dates back to May 2017. As of the most recent report we found, land acquisition had reached roughly 76% of the required 102.3 acres, with per-acre compensation still being finalized with affected farmers. We found no confirmed construction start date or completion timeline. A road approved in 2017 that’s still acquiring land in 2026 is a real project, but not an imminent one — treat any broker claim of a near-term opening with real skepticism until construction visibly begins.

3. Make in Haryana Industrial Policy 2026 and the Rs 8,646 Crore MoUs

This isn’t physical infrastructure, but it’s the policy backdrop behind MET City’s recent investment momentum. The Haryana government launched its “Make in Haryana Industrial Policy 2026” in mid-2026, targeting roughly Rs 5 lakh crore in investment and 10 lakh jobs statewide, with incentives including capital subsidies of up to 30%, net state GST reimbursement, R&D support up to Rs 50 crore, and a new “AI-enabled Single Window 2.0” investment facilitation portal. It was under this policy framework that MET City and its existing tenant companies signed Rs 8,646 crore in investment MoUs, reported June 5, 2026 — covered in more depth in our CEO and investment update.

The practical implication for MET City: state-level incentives now favour exactly the kind of manufacturing tenants (automotive components, electronics, defence, medical devices) MET City already courts, which is a demand-side tailwind — but it’s a policy signal, not a guarantee that any specific facility gets built on any specific timeline.

4. Existing Connectivity That’s Already There, Not “Upcoming”

To be clear about what’s already built versus what’s planned: NH-8 (Delhi–Jaipur) and the KMP Expressway already run past MET City today, per METL’s own site, and these are existing roads, not future infrastructure. The Dedicated Freight Corridor / Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor “influence zone” MET City cites is also a present-day positioning claim about proximity to an already-under-development freight corridor, not a new project specific to MET City. We’re separating these out because marketing materials often blur “here already,” “under construction nearby,” and “still in planning” into one undifferentiated pitch.

Infrastructure Status Summary

What This Means If You’re Buying on an Infrastructure Thesis

If part of your reasoning for a MET City plot is “the connectivity is about to get much better,” separate that reasoning into pieces with different timelines. The rail spur that would most directly serve MET City’s own villages is still in the planning stage with no construction date. The Jhajjar–Dwarka Expressway road link has been “coming” since 2017 and still doesn’t have a completion date. What’s real and near-term is the policy and investment momentum — genuine, but a driver of industrial tenancy, not a guarantee of faster resident-facing infrastructure. Price in the multi-year rail and road timelines; don’t price in a broker’s “any day now.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a metro or train line coming to Reliance MET City?
A rail spur (Garhi Harsaru–Farukhnagar–Jhajjar, about 36 km) is planned to connect the Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor to Jhajjar, but it was still at the detailed project report stage as of this writing, with no confirmed construction start date.

When will the Jhajjar–Dwarka Expressway road open?
No confirmed completion date exists. The road was administratively approved in May 2017, and as of the most recent report we reviewed, land acquisition had reached roughly 76% of the area required, with no construction start date confirmed.

Does the Rs 8,646 crore investment mean new roads or rail are being built?
Not directly. That figure represents manufacturing investment commitments from MET City and its existing tenant companies under a 2026 state industrial policy — it’s a demand signal, not a disclosed infrastructure construction budget.

What connectivity does MET City already have, right now, without waiting for anything?
NH-8 (Delhi–Jaipur) and the KMP Expressway, per METL’s own site — both already operational roads, not future projects.

Is the Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor near MET City already running?
Part of it is. The Manesar–New Patli section (5.9 km) has reportedly been operational since 2025, but that section doesn’t run through MET City’s own sectors — the segment most relevant to MET City is the still-unbuilt Jhajjar spur.
