PM inaugurates Rs 11,000cr road projects linking Delhi and Haryana
1 2 Chandigarh: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday inaugurated enhanced and faster road connectivity between Haryana and New Delhi, while criticising the previous Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government in Delhi for indulging in negative politics "aimed at creating divisions between the two neighbouring states". Modi addressed a gathering to dedicate the Dwarka Expressway and Urban Extension Road-2 (UER-2) National Highway projects, aimed at enhancing road connectivity between Delhi and Haryana. The projects, worth approximately Rs 11,000 crore, were inaugurated in the presence of Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini, Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta, Union minister for road transport and highways Nitin Gadkari, and other senior officials. While praising successive BJP chief ministers and current Haryana CM Saini, Modi took a veiled dig at the previous AAP govt in Delhi and former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal. Without naming them directly, he referred to the state of affairs during their tenure, saying, "A few months ago, there was a conspiracy to pit the people of Haryana and Delhi against each other. The opposition accused the people of Haryana of poisoning Delhi's water. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite?

Modi also commended CM Saini's leadership, highlighting improvements in governance under the BJP-led govt in Haryana. "In previous govts in Haryana, getting a job without connections or expenses was impossible. But now, under chief minister Nayab Singh Saini's leadership, jobs are being given to the youth without connections or expenses," he said. Modi added that Saini is carrying forward this tradition with commitment, and that the government's constant endeavour to simplify people's lives is clearly reflected in its policies and decisions. CM Nayab Singh Saini, while addressing the gathering, expressed gratitude to the Centre and PM Modi for the development projects in the state. He noted that the Prime Minister's support has brought six road projects worth Rs 11,000 crore to benefit both Haryana and Delhi. Saini also praised Modi's efforts in driving the overall development of the country. "Under the Urban Extension Road-2 project, two new four-lane connecting roads from Sonipat to Bahadurgarh are included. It is not just Haryana, but infrastructure work is progressing strongly across every part of the country," said Saini. He added that Prime Minister Modi's efforts will prove to be a milestone in building a developed India and a developed Haryana. He also mentioned that a major facility like AIIMS is being provided in Haryana's Rewari, thanks to the Prime Minister's special affection towards the state. Of the total Rs 11,000 crore worth of projects, two major ones will directly benefit Haryana —namely, the construction of two new four-lane connectivity roads to Sonipat and Bahadurgarh under the UER-2 project. Saini emphasised that Haryana, being the industrial and agricultural hub of North India, stands to gain the most from these projects. He said the key infrastructure developments will not only boost exports, imports, and investments by ensuring direct connectivity from Kundli, Sonipat, Bahadurgarh, Gurugram, and Manesar to Delhi Airport, but will also provide long-awaited relief from traffic congestion in the region.

PM Modi inaugurates Dwarka Expressway, UER-II: Impact on NCR housing, commercial and warehousing markets
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on August 17 inaugurated the 76-km Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II), envisioned as Delhi's third Ring Road, along with the 29-km Dwarka Expressway. Together, these projects form a key part of the Centre's decongestion strategy for the capital, aimed at cutting travel time across Delhi and adjoining regions while easing pressure on the existing Ring Road and other arterial routes. Prime Minister Narendra Modi on August 17 inaugurated the 76-km Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II), envisioned as Delhi's third Ring Road, along with the 29-km Dwarka Expressway.(ANI, PTI) For NCR residents, the enhanced connectivity is expected to drive residential and commercial growth. According to real estate experts, the corridor is set to emerge as a hub for mid-segment and premium housing, while also boosting logistics and warehousing activity. This is what real estate experts have to say The Urban Extension Road-2 (UER-2) along with the Delhi stretch of the Dwarka Expressway, has been built at a cost of around ₹8,000 crore. The four-to-six-lane expressway will connect Alipur to Mahipalpur through Mundka, Bakkarwala, Najafgarh, and Dwarka, dramatically reducing travel time from Indira Gandhi International Airport to various NCR cities. With seamless links to the Delhi-Chandigarh, Delhi-Rohtak, and Delhi-Mumbai Expressways, UER-2 is expected to ease congestion, lower fuel costs, and enhance connectivity to Sonipat, Panipat, Karnal, Ambala, Rohtak, Jind, and Bahadurgarh, said experts. Commercial real estate stands to gain significantly as UER's connectivity to major highways will spur demand for warehouses, logistics hubs, and retail spaces in Bahadurgarh and Rohtak, real estate experts said. The Urban Extension Road, connecting Alipur, Dwarka Expressway, Mahipalpur and Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway is set to enhance connectivity and reduce commute time in the entire National Capital Region. 'These flagship projects have the potential to uplift the real estate landscape in catchment areas such as Dwarka, Najafgarh, Rohini and localities along NH-48 and Dwarka Expressway, particularly bolstering commercial, residential and warehousing demand in the long-term. With close to 3 million sq ft of Grade A office stock nearing completion in the NH-48 micro market, commercial real estate activity across demand segments is likely to gain traction in the next few years,' said Vimal Nadar, national director and head, Research at Colliers India. The inauguration of UER II (Urban Extension Road II) marks a milestone for Delhi NCR. This high-speed, signal-free corridor connects major routes including NH 44, NH 9, and NH 48, along with the Dwarka Expressway, the Delhi Mumbai Expressway, and the international airport. 'From a property market perspective, the operationalisation of UER II is set to spark a significant revaluation across several micro markets. It will likely boost residential activity in Dwarka as well as in peripheral locations such as Kundli, Sonipat, and Narela. We believe, the impact will go beyond simple price appreciation. The new connectivity corridor is expected to create a broader and more resilient base of demand. It will open access to budget friendly locations for both homebuyers and businesses while preserving seamless connectivity to Delhi's primary commercial hubs,' said Ravi Nirwal, sales director and principal partner, Square Yards. Navdeep Sardana, founder, Whiteland Corporation said, ' UER-II will seamlessly connect key destinations such as Sonipat and Panipat while easing travel across the region, setting the stage for stronger economic lifelines and future-ready development. Importantly, this will give emerging micro-markets along the corridor far greater accessibility to mainstream hubs of Gurugram, catalyzing both residential and commercial growth." The Dwarka Expressway corridor, now at the heart of this transformation, is fast emerging as one of NCR's most promising destinations, he said. Also Read: Gurugram homebuyers hit by steep hike in circle rates, face higher stamp duty burden The connector will cut travel time from Gurugram and Delhi to Sonipat, Panipat and beyond, while enabling seamless access from the Delhi border to IGI Airport. By bypassing traditional chokepoints, this connectivity will redefine how people and businesses engage with emerging locations. 'The government's focus on world-class infrastructure is not only unlocking new growth corridors but also instilling fresh confidence in Tier-2 cities like Panipat, where improved accessibility drives economic vibrancy, stronger business ecosystems, and sustained real estate growth,' said Robin Mangla, president M3M India. Also Read: Is Gurugram's luxury real estate boom sustainable? Experts weigh in on price and demand trends "Sonipat's real estate is on the brink of a major boom post-UER-2 inauguration, with enhanced connectivity slashing commute times from Sonipat to IGI Airport by over half and linking seamlessly to Dwarka Expressway. Property prices here remain 30-50% lower than Gurugram or Noida, yet Kundli land values have surged 190% since 2020, while Sector 35 saw 252% appreciation in three years. Developments like Maruti Suzuki's Kharkhoda plant, alongside UER-2's spurs, will attract industries and professionals, spurring demand for affordable homes and logistics hubs,' said Abhay Kumar Mishra, president and CEO, Jindal Realty. This enhanced connectivity will ripple across the region, linking key highways such as Delhi-Chandigarh and Delhi-Jaipur, said Harinder Dhillon, National Sales Head, BPTP.
