PM Modi To Inaugurate Rs 110 Billion Delhi Highway Projects

18 Aug 2025 CW Team

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate two major National Highway projects worth nearly Rs 110 billion on 17 August 2025 at Rohini, Delhi. He is also scheduled to address the gathering at the event.

The projects — the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway and the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) — form part of the government’s plan to decongest the capital, reduce travel time and enhance connectivity across Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR). These initiatives reflect the Prime Minister’s vision of developing world-class infrastructure that improves ease of living and ensures seamless mobility.

The 10.1-km Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway has been developed at a cost of about Rs 53.6 billion. It will provide multi-modal connectivity to Yashobhoomi, the Delhi Metro’s Blue and Orange lines, the upcoming Bijwasan railway station and the Dwarka Cluster Bus Depot. The section has been developed in two packages: 5.9 km from Shiv Murti intersection to the Road Under Bridge at Dwarka Sector-21, and 4.2 km from Dwarka Sector-21 to the Delhi–Haryana border, offering direct connectivity to UER-II. The 19-km Haryana section of the expressway was inaugurated by Modi in March 2024.

The Prime Minister will also inaugurate the Alipur–Dichaon Kalan stretch of UER-II, along with new links to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, developed at a cost of around Rs 55.8 billion. This corridor will ease traffic on Delhi’s Inner and Outer Ring Roads and at major choke points such as Mukarba Chowk, Dhaula Kuan and NH-09. The new spurs will provide direct access to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, strengthen industrial connectivity, cut city traffic, and accelerate goods movement across the NCR.
