The Dubai Metro Gold Line project has received official approval, with an estimated investment of ₹86,816 crore (approximately AED 34 billion). This ambitious project will create a 42 km fully underground metro line featuring 18 stations, marking a significant expansion of Dubai's public transport infrastructure. The new line will connect seamlessly with the existing Dubai Metro Red Line and Green Line, as well as the Etihad Rail network, bringing the total metro network length to 162 km. Currently, the metro spans 120 km with various lines operational. The Gold Line is scheduled for completion by September 9, 2032, with the tender for the project expected to be issued this year. Construction will commence after the contract is awarded in 2027. Upon completion, the total number of metro stations in Dubai will increase to 85, enhancing urban mobility for the city's residents and visitors.
