Dwarka Expressway has swiftly transformed from a long-awaited infrastructure promise into one of NCR’s most dynamic real estate corridors. With major residential and commercial projects taking shape and connectivity steadily improving, the region has attracted a surge of interest from both homebuyers and investors. The latest boost comes from the newly completed tunnel that offers direct access to Delhi Airport’s Terminal 3, a game-changing development that is expected to not only reduce travel time but also elevate the overall appeal of the corridor. As this seamless connectivity comes into play, property prices are poised to climb, making this the ideal time to invest before values soar further.
Direct Tunnel Access to Airport Redefines Regional Connectivity
In a major infrastructure boost for Delhi-NCR, NHAI has begun traffic trials on two newly built tunnels connecting Dwarka Expressway to the Delhi-Jaipur Expressway (NH-48). Spanning 5.1 km, the tunnels are designed to bypass the Mahipalpur bottleneck and offer faster, signal-free access between Delhi and Gurugram. Part of the 29-km-long expressway project—which includes 23 km of elevated roads and 4 km of tunnels—this development is expected to ease up to 60% of NH-8 traffic. With improved access to IGI Airport, SPR, and the India International Convention Centre, the corridor is rapidly emerging as a key mobility route, enhancing connectivity not only within NCR but also to Manesar, Sohna, and Jaipur.
Dwarka Expressway Continues to Rise as a Promising Growth Corridor
Dwarka Expressway has already proven to be one of NCR’s strongest-performing corridors in recent years. According to Anarock’s October 2024 Micro Market Report, average property prices along the expressway have increased by 83% over the past six and a half years. Supporting this, PropEquity reports a 101% rise—from ₹8,630 to ₹17,357 per sq. ft.—between 2021 and mid-2024.
The operationalisation of the tunnel has already begun to reflect on ground sentiment, with developers witnessing a noticeable rise in enquiries and faster absorption in projects along the enhanced connectivity routes. Widely regarded as a strategic breakthrough, the tunnel has reinforced the expressway’s position as a key growth corridor and set the stage for the next phase of appreciation. As supporting infrastructure continues to progress, the area is expected to remain a strong draw for both homebuyers and long-term investors.
In addition to these factors, Dwarka Expressway has emerged as a frontrunner in Gurugram’s real estate market due to its consistent value appreciation and robust connectivity. With India’s widest urban expressway, direct airport access via the newly opened tunnel, and proximity to key economic hubs, it has become a magnet for both end-users and investors. The presence of premium residential projects and a growing ecosystem of social and commercial infrastructure further enhances its appeal. As a result, the corridor continues to solidify its reputation as one of NCR’s highest ROI micro-markets.
As Gurugram transforms into a modern urban hub, Dwarka Expressway has shifted from promise to performance, delivering strong returns and attracting steady demand. With key infrastructure now operational and premium housing on the rise, it stands out as a high-potential micro-market. For homebuyers and investors eyeing NCR’s next growth frontier, Dwarka Expressway offers a timely and rewarding opportunity.
