Haryana govt plans to link Global City with Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway
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.

90k saplings to form green barrier along KMP Expressway
Gurgaon: In celebration of Van Mahotsav, the district administration will conduct a mass plantation drive along KMP Expressway on Aug 11. The initiative aims to plant over 90,000 saplings, including 40,000 bamboos, along the 16km stretch from Pachgaon Chowk to Farukhnagar road crossing on the expressway. "The plantations will create a lasting green shield for the region," said Subhash Yadav, chief conservator of forest, South Haryana. The site has been earmarked to serve as a permanent green buffer, aimed at improving air quality, curbing dust, and restoring habitat for local biodiversity. The drive follows the inauguration of Matri Van in Gurgaon last Saturday, which will focus on native flora, officials said. Matri Van will feature indigenous species like bargad, peepal, gullar, and Aravali-specific trees such as dhauk, kullu, and khairi. Moreover, themed spaces, including bodhi vatika, medicinal plant grove, and a butterfly park, will come up as part of the proejct, which was launched under the govt's 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' initiative.

As part of the plan, Miyawaki plantations will be developed at cloverleaf junctions along KMP Expressway through NGOs, with funding sourced from corporate social responsibility initiatives. Under the proposed arrangement, HSIIDC will provide the land, while HFDC will be responsible for fencing and protection as part of the contract. The plan also includes activating the existing central verge drip irrigation system, digging two borewells—one at each end—and laying drip lines to meet irrigation needs. Why KMP? Officials said the KMP corridor was chosen for multiple reasons — its open stretches are major dust and pollution hotspots, and a dense plantation here will help trap particulate matter. The highway's buffer zones also offer continuous govt-controlled land, making large-scale planting easier and more secure from future encroachment. Its location near Aravalis allows the plantation to function as an ecological corridor for small wildlife and pollinators. High visibility to commuters, they added, will also keep public attention on the plantation's upkeep. The KMP corridor, according to Yadav, is a "strategic site for large-scale greening" that will contribute to climate resilience and wildlife movement. "These plantations will act as a carbon sink and help reclaim degraded stretches," he said. The drive, organised by Gurugram forest department with support from HFDC and HSIIDC, will start at noon with symbolic plantations by dignitaries, gram panchayats, NGOs, schoolchildren, and volunteers.
