Govt Plans 20-km Elevated Road Over Munak Canal for Rs 30 Bn

16 Jul 2025 CW Team

Officials stated that the project, estimated to cost around Rs 30 billion, would benefit 18 assembly constituencies, two parliamentary constituencies, and 35 municipal wards. The construction is expected to take approximately three years from the commencement date.

The Munak Canal, a 102-kilometre aqueduct running from Haryana to Delhi, was originally developed to reduce water losses in the Western Yamuna Canal. It now serves as the foundation for the proposed elevated corridor, which is aimed at easing traffic congestion and improving connectivity across key parts of the city.

The plan was discussed in a high-level meeting chaired by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and PWD Minister Parvesh Verma, with senior Public Works Department (PWD) officials in attendance. Verma noted that the corridor would significantly improve transportation for a large section of Delhi’s population.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will be responsible for executing the project, while the Delhi PWD will manage funding, land acquisition, and coordination with local stakeholders. A detailed project report (DPR) is currently being drafted and is expected to be completed within three months. Authorities have also sought a no-objection certificate from the Haryana government, since a portion of the canal lies within its territory.

The elevated road will integrate with the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II), further strengthening the city's outer ring road network and enhancing access to the northern and western regions.

Additionally, the Delhi government is pursuing a ₹950 crore proposal to redevelop 415 kilometres of roads under the Central Road Fund and has plans to convert the Najafgarh drain into a 30 MW canal-top solar power corridor.
