The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram’s (MCG) Finance and Contracts Committee (F&CC) has approved 26 major development projects worth nearly Rs 1.65 billion. The proposals will drive substantial upgrades to the city’s civic infrastructure, including roads, sewer networks, stormwater drains, green belts and model road corridors, officials said.

The approvals were finalised at the committee meeting held on Thursday, chaired by mayor Raj Rani Malhotra. Commissioner Pradeep Dahiya, committee members Anup Singh and Sunder Singh, chief engineer Vijay Dhaka, DTP Siddharth Khandelwal, and officers from various engineering divisions attended the meeting. Of the 28 proposals discussed, 26 received administrative sanction.

Two projects — a gaushala in Baliyawas and internal roadworks in Sector 47 — were referred to the Corporation House for further consideration.

Key approvals include a 2-million-litres-per-day sewage treatment plant in Ward 17 (Rs 80.4 million), strengthening of the 600 mm sewer line on Old Delhi Road (Rs 97.8 million), and multiple model road projects across Sectors 14, 47, 15 and 17.

Major roadworks were also cleared, such as recarpeting in Sushant Lok 1, 2 and 3, reconstruction works in Sector 14, and new road stretches from Kherki Daula to Sihi village (Rs 46.3 million). Additional approvals include stormwater drains at Begumpur–Behrampur Road (Rs 65.8 million), a water supply network in Darbaripur (Rs 29.7 million), and sewer and water pipelines in New Palam Vihar (Rs 94.2 million and Rs 61.3 million).

Green belt development near Madhav Bhawan in Sector 12 (Rs 36.5 million) was approved with instructions to incorporate rainwater harvesting systems. The committee noted that works at Khandsa will proceed once an NOC is issued by the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC).

Malhotra said the projects will accelerate Gurugram’s growth and resolve long-standing civic gaps. “These works will strengthen core infrastructure and provide lasting solutions to sewerage, drainage, road and sanitation challenges. All projects will be completed within stipulated timelines,” she said.

Dahiya added that essential public utilities remain the MCG’s priority. “These projects will give new momentum to Gurugram’s infrastructure. We are working urgently on cleanliness, sewerage, road construction and water supply. Engineering divisions will closely monitor each project to avoid delays,” he said.

Officials noted that the upgraded infrastructure will ease mobility, improve stormwater management and enhance amenities across key residential sectors. Work orders are expected to be issued in phases over the coming weeks.
