On August 16, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate Urban Extension Road-2 (UER-2) and the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway, slashing travel time from Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport to Noida from two hours to a brisk 20 minutes. This ₹8,000 crore, four-to-six- lane expressway, stretching from Alipur to Mahipalpur via Mundka, Bakkarwala, Najafgarh, and Dwarka, is set to redefine connectivity across Delhi-NCR. With strategic links to highways like Delhi- Chandigarh, Delhi-Rohtak, and the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, UER-2 promises to ease traffic congestion, cut fuel costs, and streamline commutes to Sonipat, Panipat, Karnal, Ambala, Rohtak, Jind and Bahadurgarh.
For Delhi-NCR’s real estate market, this is seismic shift. Enhanced connectivity drives property demand, and UER-2 is poised to ignite a boom. Noida, now a quick from the airport, becomes a magnet for professionals and investors seeking affordability yet well-connected homes. Expect residential prices in Noida to surge 25-40% within two years, mirroring trends seen along the Jewar Airport corridor. Dwarka and Najafgarh are also transforming into vibrant residential hubs. Their proximity to Gurugram’s corporate centres via Dwarka Expressway, makes them ideal for families seeking value without sacrificing access. Developers are already eyeing these areas for mid-to-high-end projects.
Commercial real estate stands to gain significantly. Uer-2’s connectivity to major highways will spur demand for warehouses, logistics hubs, and retail spaces in Bahadurgarh and Rohtak, where land rates could climb 20-30% in 18 months. Gurugram and Greater Noida will see heightened interest in luxury villas and office complexes as reduced travel times attract corporate tenants and high-net-worth individual buyers. Historical data from the Yamuna Expressways shows similar infrastructure projects boosting plot values by up to 50%.
Rohit Kishore, CEO, Hero Realty, said "Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities are increasingly attractive to real estate developers due to rising housing demand and investor interest. Improved infrastructure, like better roads and expanding metro networks, makes these areas more appealing. In Sonipat, demand for plotted developments is rising as buyers want larger, customizable living spaces. Its closeness to Delhi NCR and upcoming infrastructure projects strengthens its market position. With ongoing upgrades and growing demand, Sonipat is set to become a key hub for custom-built homes, drawing interest from both investors and buyers."
Mr. Abhay Kumar Mishra, President & CEO, Jindal Realty noted, "Sonipat's real estate is on the brink of a major boom post-UER-2 inauguration, with enhanced connectivity slashing commute times from Sonipat to IGI Airport by over half and linking seamlessly to Dwarka Expressway. Property prices here remain 30-50% lower than Gurugram or Noida, yet Kundli land values have surged 190% since 2020, while Sector 35 saw 252% appreciation in three years. Developments like Maruti Suzuki's Kharkhoda plant, alongside UER-2's spurs, will attract industries and professionals, spurring demand for affordable homes and logistics hubs. Expect 2-3x returns in 5-8 years as new manufacturing sectors amplify growth.”
“The inauguration of UER-2 is a watershed moment for Sonipat real estate. With direct, high-speed connectivity to IGI Airport and seamless access to Delhi via the Urban Extension Road, Sonipat transitions from a peripheral township to a core NCR growth hub. This expressway will drastically cut travel times for business and leisure, making Sonipat a compelling choice for professionals seeking larger homes at attractive price points and investors seeking strong appreciation potential. Sonipat is emerging as a preferred destination for developers ready to launch mid-income townships, luxury villas, and integrated business parks. With UER-2 enhancing access and reducing congestion, the real estate landscape here is primed for sustainable long-term growth” said, Rahul Singla, Director, Mapsko Group.
Yashank Wason, Managing Director, Royal Green Realty, said, “The inauguration of UER 2 on August 16, 2025, is set to redefine connectivity across Delhi NCR, significantly cutting travel time between Sonipat and IGI Airport. This landmark infrastructure development will greatly improve access to major NCR cities, spurring economic growth and urban expansion. For Sonipat’s real estate market, it is a truly transformative moment — seamless connectivity will attract a surge of professionals, families, and investors. We foresee property values appreciating and new residential projects gaining momentum, firmly positioning Sonipat as a prime urban extension of Delhi and a key driver of sustained regional growth.”
However, developers must tread carefully to avoid oversupply, ensuring sustainable growth. For investors, the message is clear: Delhi-NCR’s real estate is entering a golden era. Areas like Dwarka, Noida, and Bahadurgarh are primed for appreciation, making now the time to secure assets before prices reflect the full impact of UER-2’s transformative connectivity.
With the launch of UER-2 and Dwarka Expressway, Delhi-NCR is poised for its next wave of real estate expansion. Seamless airport and city connectivity, decongestion, and a thriving investment climate will elevate property demand and values, setting the stage for a new era of urban living and wealth creation in the capital region. Ambitious buyers, investors, and developers are gearing up for what many call the “third ring road revolution”—don’t blink, or you might just miss NCR’s biggest real estate boom in decades.
