Mumbai: From a forgotten patch on the outskirts of Delhi-NCR, the Dwarka Expressway has come a long way. Over the last 14 years, the evolution of Dwarka Expressway is nothing short of extraordinary, turning it into one of India’s most dynamic real estate zones. Over the past 4–5 years, property values here have doubled, driven by growing end-user demand, investor interest, and the promise of a well-connected, future-ready urban ecosystem.
As per PropEquity, the price on the expressway has doubled in the last five years, from Rs. 9,434 per square feet in 2020 to Rs. 18,668 per square feet in 2024. According to the data, up to 15,994 units were released within the same period, with 16,502 purchased. Sectors 113, 37D, 106, 111, and 103 also accounted for 74% of all flats on the Dwarka Expressway over the last five years.
Furthermore, the expressway’s exceptional locational advantage plays a significant role in its growth. It enables smooth, signal-free transit between two major urban centers and is positioned as an alternative for the congested Delhi-Gurugram Expressway. Its direct access to the IGI Airport via NH-48 and the planned tunnel that would connect Vasant Kunj to the expressway further adds to its stature. To lessen traffic in South and Southwest Delhi, the center has also planned a 20-kilometre elevated, signal-free overpass that will connect AIIMS to Gurgaon and the IGI Airport. Complemented by the expansion of Delhi Metro Phase IV and the RRTS, this corridor is being hardwired for long-term urban resilience and real estate viability.
Vikas Dua, Director at Chintamanis, said, “Dwarka Expressway is a live case study in how infrastructure can redefine real estate dynamics. The surge in unit sales over the years reflects its clear evolution from a peripheral market to the most dynamic growth engine within Gurugram—and arguably the entire Delhi-NCR region. For both end-users and investors, this is a strategic window of opportunity; entering now means capitalising on appreciation that will exponentially grow.”
Saurabh Saharan, Group Managing Director, HCBS Developments, says, “Dwarka Expressway has turned into a performance-driven market that’s delivering consistent capital appreciation. Its strategic connectivity, especially to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway and IGI Airport, has added to its appeal among both investors and end-users. Its direct access to Delhi’s Dwarka positions it as a vital link between the NCR and Gurugram. Besides, the combination of rising rental yields, luxury housing demand, and infrastructure-led growth makes this belt one of NCR’s most high-potential zones. As more premium developments come up, we expect the expressway to remain a key catalyst in Gurugram’s emergence as a premium residential hub.”
Besides, luxury housing is no longer a niche segment along Dwarka Expressway. As wealthy buyers prioritize quality of life above location, there has been a substantial shift toward luxury properties that provide space, privacy, and future planning. Investors, notably NRIs and HNIs, regard the corridor as a high-yield investment opportunity due to its strong rental potential and long-term capital appreciation.
Ishaan Singh, Director, AIPL, said,” The rise of the Dwarka Expressway has altered Gurugram’s real estate landscape. Outpacing other micro-markets in terms of price appreciation, ROI, and investment potential, the corridor is a strong contender in NCR. With projects like the tunnel and Manesar expressway underway, Dwarka is poised to emerge as an even more sought-after destination. At AIPL, we see this stretch transforming into a vibrant hub for investment, and the returns it’s delivering are impressive”.
Sunny Katyal, Co-Founder, Investors Clinic, says, “Homebuyers see luxury as the union of location and lifestyle, and the Dwarka Expressway defines this notion. The surge in luxury residential projects along the expressway is a response to homebuyers who are investing in lifestyle, connectivity, and long-term value. Their sustained interest validates the corridor’s maturation, and we believe this will continue bringing a noticeable shift in the demand for luxury housing.”
Vishal Sabharwal, Head Sales, Orris Group, says, “Dwarka Expressway represents a rare convergence of urban planning, lifestyle evolution, and real estate foresight. What we’re seeing here is not just a spike in demand, but a shift in buyer mindset, where they are no longer just purchasing homes but are investing in future-ready ecosystems. Their preference for larger formats, community-centric living, and wellness-driven spaces is paving the way for premium developments. Hence, the corridor will continue offering a blueprint for integrated urban living that resonates with both local and global sensibilities.”
Dwarka Expressway stands as a rare convergence of infrastructure excellence, strategic policy support, and unmatched location advantage, hence making it India’s ultimate realty belt.
