Approval within 15 days of receiving DPR
Union Minister Khattar said that the project will be approved within 15 days of receiving the DPR of Panchgaon-Sector 56 Metro Corridor.

Possibilities of RRTS will be explored here too
Similarly, the extension of RRTS from Bahadurgarh to Asoda metro line, Ballabhgarh to Palwal, Sector-9 of Gurugram to Badhsa AIIMS and Dhansa of Delhi to Badhsa AIIMS, Sarai Kale Khan to Panipat to Karnal will also be considered. Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said that the feasibility of metro rail line between Gurugram and Faridabad was not being made, so now consideration will be done to implement RRTS here. He said that a study will be done to lay a line from Delhi’s Palam Airport to Jewar Airport via Gurugram, Faridabad.
