NHAI Begins DPR Work For 20 Km Delhi–Gurugram Corridor

06 Oct 2025 CW Team

A new phase of connectivity between Delhi and Gurugram is set to begin, with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) initiating work on a 20-kilometre elevated corridor stretching from AIIMS/INA to the Gurugram–Faridabad Road. The corridor aims to ease traffic congestion, reduce travel time, and improve connectivity between South Delhi and Gurugram.

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has issued tenders for preparing the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the corridor, which will connect AIIMS to the Mahipalpur bypass and further to the Gurugram–Faridabad Road. A similar tender floated earlier this year in May–June was withdrawn, and the ministry has now reissued it with revised terms and conditions.

According to officials, the DPR will cover a wide range of studies — including route alignment, pavement design, intersections, service roads, traffic management, safety audits, and environmental and social impact assessments. The project will also include a detailed cost evaluation and timeline planning.

Before finalising the DPR, a feasibility study will be conducted to assess traffic volumes, axle load patterns, topography, and lane configuration. The findings of this study will determine the technical and economic viability of the project.

Interested agencies have until 15 October to submit bids, and the entire DPR preparation process is expected to be completed within nine months. However, the NHAI has the authority to terminate the project during the feasibility stage if it is found non-viable.

The proposed Rs 50 billion project is part of the government’s larger plan to decongest Delhi, providing a signal-free, high-speed route from AIIMS to Gurugram and reducing pressure on existing roads such as NH-48, MG Road, and the Ring Roads.

Once completed, the corridor will form a crucial arterial link between the national capital and the Gurugram–Faridabad corridor, improving mobility and supporting regional growth across Delhi–NCR.
