Why Dwarka Expressway?
Dwarka Expressway (aka Northern Peripheral Road) is perhaps the most important area in NCR from the perspective of real estate and infrastructural development. Yet most of the information available about it on the Internet is 3 years out of date. And 3 years is a long time in real estate. Best part is that all the Builders focus on Dwarka Expressway.
What You Know
Dwarka Expressway connects Gurgaon to Dwarka. It is the third direct connection between Delhi and Gurgaon (after NH8 and Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road), and many real estate projects have come up in this area. This is true.
Many people also think that there are major problems in completing the road because of right-of-way and land acquisition issues. This isn't true anymore.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
1. The quick facts: Dwarka Expressway is a high-speed linkroad, officially known as Northern PeripheralRoad It is 18 kms long and 150 metres wide, and runs in a smooth parabola from near KherkiDaula on NH8 to Dwarka Sectors 81 to 115 have been developed alongits length, with particular sectors earmarked for residential projects and commercial projects and public utilities.
2. The best builders of the country all have projects under development on Dwarka Expressway. There are more than 100 residential projects under construction in the area, and the number of residences coming up is estimated to be over 42,000.
More than half of these (22,000 apartments) have already been purchased by investors and future residents. The balance 20,000 includes apartments available for sale as well as apartments in projects yet to be launched.
3. The area around Dwarka Expressway is being developed with strict adherence to the Gurgaon-Manesar Masterplan 2031. This means the final number of apartments is already known, and so the eventual population and number of cars, etc. can easily be estimated.
Wide sector roads have been planned accordingly and many of these roads have already been completed. You can drive on them today to get a feel of this well-planned area.
So it's not just a road – the entire area is coming up like a model modern city.

Like any model city, it's not just residences – some of the top names in education, healthcare and hospitality have taken up sites for schools, hospitals and hotels etc. Several of them have actually brought forward their construction plans because of the astonishing speed at which development is taking place in the area.

The construction of a 1.2 km Railway Over Bridge (ROB) is going on and is expected to be completed by the end of 2015.
13. The dispute too is now mostly settled and all issues cleared, apart from some petitioners holding out for better compensation. The matter is sub-judice, so details cannot be revealed. However, it can be mentioned that a settlement is expected quite quickly. Rehabilitation and resettlement of the petitioners is what the courts are considering.
They will be rehabilitated in Sectors 110A and 37C – HUDA has over 145 acres of land in these sectors of which only 15 acres will be needed to resettle all the petitioners. This is expected to be completed within 2015.
