Giving Delhi NCR’s infrastructure a substantial push, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on August 17, 2025 inaugurated two key National Highway projects — the Delhi stretch of the Dwarka Expressway and the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) — easing commuting for residents across the region.Constructed at a combined cost of around Rs 11,000 crore, these highways will significantly decongest the region, cut travel time, boost connectivity between Delhi and Gurugram, and support the long-term infrastructural growth of the National Capital Region.The 29-km Dwarka Expressway comprises two sections — a 19-km stretch in Haryana, which was inaugurated in March 2024, and the 10.1-km Delhi section inaugurated by the Prime Minister today.The Delhi section of Dwarka Expressway has been built at a cost of around Rs. 5,360 crore.The Prime Minister also inaugurated the Alipur–Dichaon Kalan section of the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II), along with new connectivity links to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat. The stretch has been developed at an estimated cost of about Rs 5,580 crore.With improved connectivity, overall economic activity in the region is set to receive a major boost, with sectors such as real estate, logistics, and trade expected to benefit significantly.Experts from the real estate sector believe that the enhanced connectivity will lead to increased demand for both residential and commercial developments, particularly in emerging micro-markets along the new corridors.Mr. Pradeep Aggarwal, Founder & Chairman, Signature Global (India) Ltd., said, “The inauguration of the Delhi stretch of Dwarka Expressway is a significant milestone in the infrastructural growth story of Delhi NCR. Dwarka Expressway, being a dynamic and transformative urban corridor, has not only significantly redefined connectivity between Delhi and Gurugram but has also provided a major push to real estate growth in the region. The recent inauguration of the Urban Extension Road (UER) II, also known as Delhi’s third Ring Road, complementing the fully operational 29-km Dwarka Expressway, further elevates its strategic importance. These interlinked, access-controlled highways are set to drastically reduce travel time between Delhi, IGI Airport, and Gurugram, while decongesting NH-48 and other key arterial routes.”
