HUDA City Centre metro station to be renamed Millennium City Centre: DMRC

Earlier, DMRC had stated that the station will be named Gurugram City Centre

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) on Monday announced that the HUDA City Centre metro station will be renamed Millennium City Centre. This comes just hours after it was announced that the stations's name will be changed to Gurugram City Centre. 

In an earlier tweet, DMRC wrote, "A decision has been taken to rename the HUDA City Centre Metro station on Yellow Line as Gurugram City Centre. Accordingly, the process of changing the name in all official documents, signage, announcements etc has been initiated and shall be changed gradually."

 

However, later it announced, "In partial modification of the earlier announcement regarding the renaming of the HUDA City Centre Metro station on Yellow Line, it has now been decided by competent authorities to rename the station as Millennium City Centre."

It added, "Accordingly, the process of changing the name in all official documents, signage, announcements etc has been initiated and shall be changed gradually."

The HUDA City Centre station falls on the Yellow Line route, which consists of a total of 37 stations, from Samaypur Badli to HUDA City Centre. It is mostly an underground metro route with a line length of 49.02 km. The metro route was first opened on December 20, 2004, from Vishwa Vidyalaya station to Kashmere Gate and was inaugurated by the then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

On June 30, DMRC also launched a dedicated mobile application for its passengers, 'DMRC Travel'. The app will help users in generating QR tickets for travelling across the network. The app was launched by Dr Vikas Kumar, Managing Director at Metro Bhawan in the presence of senior officials.

With the launch of this app, metro commuters will now be able to buy their tickets directly via their smartphones, thereby, eliminating the need of going to ticket counters/machines.
