Gurugram Takes a Major Step Toward Smarter Urban Mobility
Gurugram stands at a crucial stage of its urban evolution. Rapid population growth and rising vehicle density have pushed existing roads to their limits. To address this challenge, the Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) has initiated the acquisition of 276 acres of land across six villages. The goal remains clear. Authorities plan to build a high-capacity road connecting Gurugram–Faridabad Road with Sohna Road.
This move signals a strong commitment to long-term planning. Instead of short-term fixes, the government now focuses on structural solutions that improve daily commuting and support future expansion.
A High-Capacity Road Designed to Reduce Congestion
The proposed corridor will stretch 150 meters wide, making it one of the most significant road projects in the region. This road will directly link two major arterial routes. As a result, traffic will redistribute more evenly across Gurugram.
Consequently, pressure on the Delhi–Jaipur Highway (NH-48) and the existing Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) will ease. Commuters will experience shorter travel times. Emergency services will move faster. Logistics and daily office travel will also improve.
Moreover, smoother connectivity will enhance the quality of life for residents living in surrounding sectors.
Villages Included in the Acquisition Plan
HSVP has mapped the land requirement carefully to ensure uninterrupted road alignment. The acquisition covers land from the following villages:
- Bahrampur (Sohna): approximately 26 acres
- Ullawas: approximately 17 acres
- Kadarpur: 77 acres
- Maidawas: 50 acres
- Ghumaspur: 54 acres
- Badshahpur: approximately 51 acres
Together, these parcels form a continuous corridor that supports high-speed and high-volume traffic. Authorities have already issued a Section 6 notification under the Land Acquisition Act. Officials expect compensation disbursement to begin next month.
Legal Hurdles Finally Cleared After 12 Years
This project did not move forward overnight. HSVP first initiated the acquisition process in December 2013. Soon after, landowners challenged the move in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The court stayed the acquisition in 2014.
For nearly twelve years, the case remained pending. Earlier this year, the High Court delivered a decisive judgment. It allowed HSVP to proceed under the Land Acquisition Act of 1894, while directing authorities to compensate landowners as per the Land Acquisition Policy, 2013.
With this ruling, all legal uncertainty ended. HSVP has now resumed the acquisition process fully. Construction will begin immediately after compensation reaches landowners.
Greater SPR: A Parallel Project with Bigger Impact
Alongside this road, the Haryana government has revived land acquisition for the Greater Southern Peripheral Road (Greater SPR). This ambitious corridor will connect Faridabad Road, Sohna Road, Manesar, and NH-48.
The proposed alignment passes through multiple villages, including Aklimpur, Tikli, Sakatpur, Shikohpur, Naurangpur, Badh Gujjar, Manesar, and Nainwal. HSVP has already sent the acquisition proposal to headquarters for approval.
Once completed, Greater SPR will reshape Gurugram’s traffic ecosystem. It will also unlock large tracts of land for organized development.
Impact on Gurugram’s Real Estate Landscape
Infrastructure development always acts as a growth catalyst. This project will do the same for Gurugram.
First, improved connectivity will increase demand in underdeveloped sectors. Second, land prices near the corridor will see gradual appreciation. Third, developers will gain confidence to launch residential and commercial projects with long-term viability.
In addition, sectors along Sohna Road and South Gurugram will attract more end-users. Buyers today prioritize connectivity, future infrastructure, and planned growth over short-term pricing advantages.
Expert Advice: Sanjeev Singh, MD, SKJ Landbase
Sharing his expert view, Sanjeev Singh, Managing Director, SKJ Landbase, explained the broader significance of the project:
“Large-scale road infrastructure creates lasting value for any city. This new corridor will not only ease congestion but also open fresh real estate zones. Buyers and investors who track such developments early usually gain strong long-term returns.”
His assessment aligns with market trends. Infrastructure-led growth continues to define Gurugram’s real estate trajectory.
Conclusion: A Defining Moment for Gurugram’s Growth
HSVP’s decision to acquire 276 acres marks a turning point for Gurugram’s infrastructure planning. After years of delay, the project now moves forward with legal clarity and administrative intent.
As construction progresses, daily commutes will become smoother. New growth corridors will emerge. Real estate activity will gain momentum in surrounding areas.
Ultimately, this project reinforces one clear message. Gurugram is preparing today for the demands of tomorrow.
