Fuel pumps, cables to shift for RRTS corridor in Gurugram: NCRTC
The National Capital Regional Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has sought a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) to shift high-tension electricity lines and fuel stations along the Delhi-Jaipur highway.
The utility relocation is essential for constructing the Namo Bharat (RRTS) corridor from Aerocity to Dharuhera, which is slated to begin in August 2026, officials said.
According to officials, the request pertains to shifting 220kV and 66kV towers near IFFCO Chowk, installed by Haryana Vidyut Prasaran Nigam Limited (HVPNL). These lines currently supply electricity to Sectors 17, 18, 19, 25 and 28.
In a formal letter, NCRTC referred to an earlier joint inspection conducted on April 2 with officials from GMDA, HVPNL, and Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC). NCRTC's superintending engineer wrote, 'NCRTC hereby undertakes that utility services, if any, found infringing in the proposed ROW of GMDA, will be shifted as per site requirement.'
The letter added that the Namo Bharat corridor is part of the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan, which aims to enhance multimodal connectivity and accelerate infrastructure development. 'It is requested to issue NOC for the proposed plan to shift the transmission line to facilitate the corridor's construction,' it stated.
A GMDA official said, 'We will look into the matter in detail. This project is of national importance and a decision will be taken at the earliest.'

Land hurdles cleared, two more Southern Peripheral Road links set for completion
Gurgaon: In a relief to thousands of commuters in new sectors along Southern Peripheral Road (SPR), GMDA has moved forward on two long-pending stretches — one between sectors 71 and 73 and another between sectors 62 and 65 — that remained incomplete for years due to land hurdles. After receiving the possession of a 5.9-acre land parcel earlier this month, the authority is now set to take up construction of a 350m stretch between sectors 71 and 73, which is estimated to cost Rs 2.22 crore. Though the master road in the area was laid in 2021, this unfinished patch continued as a hurdle in connectivity, forcing commuters to take long detours. Now, clearance of land has paved the way not only for the construction of roads, but also for utility services like master water storm drain, and sewerage network in the area, officials said. Alongside this, the authority is also working on a 170-metre missing link between sectors 62 and 65. This project too, with an estimated cost of Rs 1 crore, was in limbo for several years due to land hurdles. "Construction was pending due to land issues. Now that they have been resolved, we can move forward. Tenders will be floated once the estimates are approved," a senior GMDA official said. This comes weeks after GMDA CEO Shyamal Misra directed officials to prepare estimates on clearance of bottlenecks in road links in all sectors. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Fully Loaded 4 BHK apts for 4.49 Cr(All Incl)* in Sec 104 ATS Triumph, Gurgaon Book Now Undo Meanwhile, residents, who long complained of a lack of seamless connectivity, said the development came as a relief.

Haryana govt plans to link Global City with Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway
The Haryana government is planning to construct a road connecting the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway with the under construction Global City project coming up over 1,000 acres of land on Pataudi Road in Gurugram Sector 36, officials said on Friday. A senior Gurugram Metropolitan Region Development Authority (GMDA) official said that a 60-metre-wide road has been proposed along the newly constructed drain in Narsingpur to connect the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway with the Global City project, which has access from Pataudi Road and the Dwarka Expressway. 'The land required for the road falls in Khandsa and Mohammadpur Jharsa villages — some of it privately owned and under litigation and some of it is owned by the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC). The Global City project is a high priority project of the Haryana government and giving it access through the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway will further improve access to this residential and commercial project,' said a senior GMDA official, requesting anonymity. The Global City project is being developed by the HSIIDC over 1,000 acres across Gurugram sectors 36, 36B, 37 and 37B. It is a mixed land use project with approximately 12 million sqm of built-up area. It will have commercial towers, offices, residential towers, retail spaces, hospitals, schools, center for innovation, start-ups, incubation zone, hospitality and cultural zones, exhibition cum convention center (ECC) green and open spaces, and water bodies. Next week, the proposed road project will be discussed in detail under the first district coordination committee meeting, which will be chaired by DS Dhesi, principal advisor, urban development Haryana government. Apart from this project, several other local projects will also be discussed in this meeting. The 60-metre road will be constructed along the Kuccha drain, which was built to link the low-lying area in Narsingpur with the Badshahpur drain. The Haryana government is developing the first phase of Global City on 587 acres in which the trunk infrastructure is being built, said officials. The first phase includes construction of 13km of internal roads, landscape across 82 acres, 26km of storm water drainage infrastructure, 11.96km of potable water infrastructure, a 12km recycled water pipeline, and a 10km utility tunnel. Work on phase 1 is expected to be completed by December 2026.

Namo Bharat corridor in Meerut to unlock real estate potential with transit-led Growth
Meerut leads India in implementing Transit Oriented Development (TOD) zones, integrating them into its 2031 Master Plan. This initiative combines urban development with transit projects, creating potential real estate prospects in the area. The Meerut Development Authority (MEDA) has allocated 3,273 hectares for TOD, with 2,442 hectares divided into seven TOD zones and two special development area (SDA) zones along the Namo Bharat and Meerut Metro routes. "While the majority of the land is privately held and we will earn revenue through FSI, we are also planning a 300-hectare township where we will auction land to private developers," Vijay Kumar Singh, town planner at MEDA told ET. "We are doing the zonal planning in consultation with NCRTC ." The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) is constructing India's inaugural Namo Bharat corridor connecting Delhi, Ghaziabad, and Meerut. This represents India's first Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) train service. "By harnessing the potential of transit-oriented development and value capture financing, NCRTC is enhancing the financial sustainability of the Namo Bharat project," said Shalabh Goel, managing director, NCRTC said according to the report. "This integrated approach is poised to redefine the future of transportation infrastructure, fostering vibrant, liveable communities and generating economic value that benefits both the region and its residents." The SDA zones comprise 458 hectares in Meerut South and 373 hectares in Modipuram, situated at opposite ends of the Meerut metro section. Uttar Pradesh established its TOD policy in 2022. International cities including Stockholm, Copenhagen, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tokyo have effectively utilised TOD to support public transport and improve urban planning, resulting in enhanced economic productivity and living standards. The Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Namo Bharat corridor spans 82 km, with 68 km in Ghaziabad and Meerut districts. The infrastructure will additionally support local metro services in Meerut. The 2017 National Metro Rail Policy emphasised viewing urban mass transit projects as transformation initiatives rather than mere transport projects. It required states to explore various revenue options for long-term financial viability. The housing and urban development ministry introduced value capture financing policy, enabling states and union territories to utilise their assets, including unused land, for infrastructure development. According to UP's TOD policy, areas within 500 metres of city mass transit systems and 1.5 kilometres alongside intercity transit systems like Namo Bharat constitute TOD zones. These zones permit taller, mixed-use developments including residential, commercial, and office spaces with public facilities. The base floor area ratio will increase from 2.5 to 4 in developed areas and 5 in undeveloped areas. Ghaziabad has identified its TOD zones and included them in its master plan, awaiting state government approval for implementation.
