Real estate companies and consultants are optimistic about the impact of the inauguration of the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) and the Delhi stretch of the Dwarka Expressway on the overall Delhi NCR micro market. “The housing sector, in particular, stands to benefit, as major infrastructural projects invariably enhance the overall appeal of the housing market among buyers,” said Ashok Kapur, chairman, Krishna Group and Krisumi Corporation.

The 75.7-kilometre-long UER-II connects Alipur in North Delhi to Mahipalpur, near the Delhi-Gurugram border, passing through Bawana, Rohini, Mundka, Najafgarh and Dwarka. Built by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), the corridor links to the Dwarka Expressway as well as the Western and Eastern Peripheral Expressways, with two operational spurs towards Sonipat and Bahadurgarh in Haryana.

Together with the 27.6-kilometre Dwarka Expressway, experts are calling UER-II a game changer that could ease traffic and provide momentum to the real estate market in Delhi and Gurugram.

Industry leaders highlight reduced travel time

Pradeep Aggarwal, founder and chairman of Signature Global, said the interlinked, access-controlled highways will significantly reduce travel time between Delhi, IGI Airport and Gurugram, while decongesting National Highway 48 (NH 48) and other arterial routes. “Bridging major economic hubs such as Cyber City, Udyog Vihar, and key IT parks, this infrastructure not only streamlines commuting but also catalyses large-scale residential, commercial and retail development,” he added.

Developers anticipate that the growth story of the real estate market around Dwarka Expressway will accelerate, supported by enhanced metro connectivity and rising demand from both homebuyers and investors. Ravi Nirwal, sales director and principal partner at Square Yards, added that the operationalisation of UER-II is also expected to boost residential activity in Delhi’s peripheral areas such as Kundli, Sonipat and Narela. “The new connectivity corridor is expected to create a broader and more resilient base of demand,” he said.
