GDA Drafts Rs 1.93 Billion Plan to Extend Hindon Elevated Road
03 Jul 2025 CW Team
The Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) has prepared a Detailed Project Report (DPR) to add two ramps to the 10.3 kilometre Hindon Elevated Road, giving commuters in Vasundhara and Indirapuram quicker access to Delhi and Raj Nagar Extension. The extension is costed at about Rs 1.93 billion and will be sent to the Uttar Pradesh government for funding, potentially under the Sixteenth Finance Commission.
At present, the signal free corridor runs from Raj Nagar Extension to UP Gate on the Delhi border, with a single down ramp at Kanawani and an up ramp at Vasundhara. The new design introduces:
- An up ramp from Indirapuram, enabling motorists to join the elevated road and head towards Delhi;
- A down ramp at Vasundhara, allowing vehicles to exit the flyover into the township.
The DPR follows an April visit by senior Housing and Development Board officials, who highlighted the need for better links to the fast growing Vasundhara and Siddharth Vihar housing schemes. GDA has already begun widening internal roads in Wagholi, but progress is hindered by encroachments and land acquisition issues; similar challenges are expected in Ghaziabad.
Separately, the Housing Board plans to develop roughly 80 acres in Vasundhara for group housing and commercial projects, enhancing the appeal of the new ramps once completed.
