Dehradun is planning an elevated-and-tunnel corridor from near Max Hospital on Rajpur Road to Dhoran on Sahastradhara Road, linking the Rispaana and Bindal elevated-road projects and functioning as an additional ring-road route. It is intended to let Mussoorie-bound traffic bypass the city and ease congestion, including pressure expected around Rajpur Road from the Purukul–Mussoorie ropeway.

The Centre and Uttarakhand government have approved the two elevated-road projects over the Rispaana and Bindal rivers; final feasibility studies are under way, with construction to follow their completion. The proposed connecting corridor remains at an early stage: NHAI and the Public Works Department are preparing its plan, and a study and feasibility assessment will precede a final construction decision.

Separately, the Mussoorie Dehradun Development Authority sealed an unauthorised construction in Gun Hill being built by Kamal Bhandari without approved plans, acting on an SDM court order.

Garhwal commissioner Anand Swaroop directed registration of FIRs in eight land fraud cases and ordered a police special investigation team (SIT) probe into the alleged fraudulent resale of a plot in Rajpur. The directions followed a land fraud committee meeting that reviewed 56 pending cases across Garhwal division involving alleged encroachment of government land, forged documents, disputed land transfers and unauthorised plotting. The Rajpur case concerns a retired police employee who bought a plot that was subsequently allegedly resold fraudulently. Further action will depend on the SIT’s findings.

The 213 km, six-lane Delhi–Dehradun Expressway opened on 14 April 2026 after costing over ₹12,000 crore, cutting the drive from five to six hours to about 2.5 hours. Brokers quoted 15%–25% appreciation over 18–24 months; some markets were already up 15%–30%. Published locality rates range from ₹2,000 to ₹11,050 per sq ft. Rajpur Road flats are ₹7,900–₹11,050 per sq ft, versus ₹6,100–₹10,800 for land. Dehradun’s tracked average rose from about ₹5,600 to ₹7,300 per sq ft between March and December 2025, attributed to changing listing mix. Circle rates effective 5 October 2025 rose 9%–22%, averaging about 15%. Registration is 2% of value, capped at ₹50,000, up from ₹25,000.

A land-law amendment approved on 20 February 2025 and passed the next day bars outsiders from agricultural or horticultural land in 11 of Uttarakhand’s 13 districts; Haridwar and Udham Singh Nagar are exceptions. It abolished the former 12.5-acre provision and limits outsiders’ residential purchase to 250 sq m (about 2,690 sq ft), once, subject to an affidavit. Whether the cap applies within municipal limits remains disputed. Gross rental yields are about 3%–5%. The expressway may boost second-home demand around Mussoorie Road, Sahastradhara Road and upper Rajpur Road.

The Delhi-Dehradun Expressway, a 210 km corridor, was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday. Real estate experts expect property prices to rise 15–25% in key areas and 10–20% in emerging corridors.
