The inauguration of the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, along with a key stretch of the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II), marks a watershed moment for Delhi-NCR’s infrastructure and real estate landscape. Built at an investment of nearly ₹11,000 crore, the projects are designed to ease congestion, curb pollution, and provide seamless connectivity between Delhi, Gurugram, IGI Airport, and other emerging hubs.

This milestone comes on the back of record-breaking growth along the Dwarka Expressway, which is now widely regarded as NCR’s fastest-growing luxury real estate corridor. Over the last 6.5 years, housing prices along the expressway have appreciated by an impressive 83%, with a 58% year-on-year spike in Q4 FY 2024-25 alone. According to PropEquity, property values nearly doubled between 2020 and 2024, from ₹9,434 per sq. ft to over ₹18,600 per sq. ft, making it one of the most dynamic growth stories in Indian real estate.

“The launch of the Dwarka Expressway’s Delhi section, complemented by the newly operational Urban Extension Road-II, signals a transformative leap in Delhi-NCR’s infrastructure landscape. These high-speed corridors significantly ease congestion, reduce travel time, and unlock new growth frontiers connecting Delhi and Gurugram. This development is a game changer for Dwarka expressway and New Gurgaon residential markets as it cuts down commuting time to office and to and from Airport.  These infrastructure milestones lay the foundation for integrated, future-ready urban ecosystems where accessibility, quality of life, and sustainable growth move forward in tandem,” said Ashish Jerath, President – Sales & Marketing, Smartworld Developers.

Between 2018 and 2024, nearly 26,800 residential units were launched along the stretch, accounting for almost 23% of Gurugram’s total residential supply. The market is being driven not just by speculative demand but by a visible shift in buyer preference towards integrated, amenity-rich, globally designed living ecosystems. Today, the corridor is a magnet for high-net-worth individuals and affluent buyers from Delhi seeking future-ready, aspirational communities.

The inauguration is expected to further accelerate this momentum, with experts forecasting an additional 15–20% price rise over the next two years. Premium projects by leading developers, coupled with proximity to IGI Airport, Bharat Vandana Park, Yashobhoomi Convention Centre, HSIIDC Global City, and the Dwarka Golf Course, have already positioned the expressway as a high-value destination.

Mr. Vineet Dawar, President-Sales & Strategy, Elan Group said, “The inauguration of the Dwarka Expressway’s Delhi section by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi marks a pivotal moment in shaping the future of Delhi-NCR. By establishing a seamless link between the capital and Gurugram, this landmark corridor is set to enhance connectivity, shorten travel times and open new avenues for integrated urban growth. It further strengthens Gurugram’s position as one of India’s most aspirational real estate destinations, where luxury living, business hubs, and lifestyle infrastructure converge. For high-potential micro-markets along this stretch, home to Elan Group’s marquee developments such as Elan The Emperor, Elan The Presidential, Elan The Mark and Elan Miracle, it creates an enabling environment for sustained appreciation, world-class infrastructure, and lifestyle-led urban planning. Projects of this scale and vision are catalysts in transforming Gurugram into a truly global city, resonating with our commitment to creating destinations that combine architectural distinction, unmatched connectivity, and vibrant community living, hallmarks of a sustainable, future-ready urban ecosystem.”

The expressway’s impact is also radiating beyond Gurugram. Improved infrastructure is set to boost peripheral real estate markets including Sonipat, Panipat, Kundli, and outer Delhi, opening up new corridors of growth. With wide roads, expansive green belts, and meticulous urban planning, the expressway represents a model for integrated development in NCR.

“The inauguration of the Dwarka Expressway’s Delhi section marks a pivotal moment for Delhi-NCR’s real estate and urban mobility. By significantly enhancing connectivity between Delhi and Gurugram, it is unlocking new residential and commercial opportunities, fueling investor interest, and accelerating the growth of emerging micro-markets. For buyers, investors, and agents, it underscores the value of strategic locations backed by world-class infrastructure, shaping the next chapter of urban living in the NCR.” said Sam Chopra, President and Country Head, eXp Realty India.

As luxury townships continue to shape its skyline, the message is clear: Dwarka Expressway is no longer just an emerging corridor, it is the new epicenter of luxury and aspirational living in NCR, backed by world-class infrastructure and unmatched growth potential.
