AECOM to Prepare DPR for Delhi’s 55 km Elevated Ring Road

07 Nov 2025 CW Team

To ease congestion on Delhi’s arterial roads, the Public Works Department (PWD) has commissioned AECOM India to prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the Mahatma Gandhi Road Elevated Corridor Project.

The DPR, to be completed within 24 weeks, will feature 3D models, technical designs, and cost estimates. Construction is expected to begin in phases once the report is approved.

PWD Minister Parvesh Sahib Singh Verma said the project embodies the government’s vision for a “smarter, safer, and faster Delhi”, aimed at improving mobility and reducing travel time across the national capital.

Spanning nearly 55 kilometres, the Ring Road is among Delhi’s busiest transport lifelines. The project seeks to reduce travel time, cut fuel consumption, and improve air quality, setting a benchmark for sustainable urban mobility in India.

Verma added that the initiative will enhance connectivity, streamline traffic management, and integrate green mobility solutions through elevated corridors, redesigned junctions, and improved public transport links.

To ensure focused execution, the corridor will be developed in six phases, covering stretches from Azadpur Flyover to DND Flyway and Moti Bagh to Rajouri Garden, linking key residential, industrial, and commercial hubs across the city.
