Delhi government plans to hire a private consultant for a proposed elevated corridor along Najafgarh drain to ease traffic congestion. The project involves approximately 61 kilometres and is intended to improve movement on major roads across the city.

Public Works Department will appoint consultant to conduct feasibility study and prepare project plan before work begins. Corridor expected to reduce travel time, fuel consumption and vehicular emissions, while improving links with key roads.

Roads will be developed from Chhawla to Basaidarapur along both sides of drain over 27.415 kilometres, taking total to 54.83 kilometres across both banks. Additional 5.94-kilometre two-lane road will be built on left bank from Jhatikra Bridge to Chhawla Bridge.

Primary objective is to reduce congestion on major roads, cut travel time and fuel consumption, and lower vehicular emissions. Corridor will provide inter-connectivity with Outer Ring Road, Inner Ring Road, Shivaji Marg, Pankha Road, UER-II (connecting to NH-9 Rohtak Road), Najafgarh Road and other key routes.

Total project cost estimated at Rs 454 crore. Paved road approximately 61 kilometres with width of 7 metres will be built along drain. Separate tracks for walking, jogging and cycling will be developed. New bridge will be constructed near Dwarka Metro Depot. Landscaping and tree plantation will be undertaken. At some junctions, Delhi Metro rail corridors will be included in study. Project planned as multi-use corridor.

The Centre notified Delhi Master Plan 2047 a week after Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu approved it. Narela, one of Delhi’s 17 planning zones, is designated for a 138-hectare education and innovation hub bringing together universities, research institutions, vocational training and start-ups to support skilled employment and a knowledge-based economy. Public and private educational, healthcare, research, cultural and public-service institutions are also planned.

Dwarka is identified as an “international gateway” and investment and medical hub. Proposed healthcare facilities include hospitals, medical colleges, speciality centres and wellness facilities integrated with residential areas and public transport. The plan seeks to expand secondary and tertiary care, support medical tourism, and develop tertiary healthcare and related research and development as economic activities. Dwarka’s investment potential is linked to its metro connectivity, Dwarka Expressway, UER-II and proximity to Indira Gandhi International Airport. The hubs form part of a broader effort to decentralise growth into specialised centres.
