Delhi, India | August 16, 2025 — Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate two major National Highway projects worth a combined cost of nearly Rs. 11,000 crore on 17th August 2025 at around 12:30 PM in Rohini, Delhi. The PM will also address the gathering on the occasion, highlighting the government’s vision of world-class infrastructure and seamless urban mobility.
The two projects — the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway and the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) — have been developed under the government’s comprehensive plan to decongest the capital, improve connectivity, cut travel time, and reduce traffic in Delhi and surrounding areas. These initiatives are part of a broader push to enhance ease of living for citizens while enabling faster movement of goods and people.
The 10.1 km Delhi section of Dwarka Expressway has been built at a cost of around Rs. 5,360 crore. It will provide multi-modal connectivity to Yashobhoomi, the DMRC Blue and Orange lines, the upcoming Bijwasan railway station, and the Dwarka Cluster Bus Depot. The section is divided into:
-
Package I: 5.9 km from Shiv Murti intersection to the Road Under Bridge (RUB) at Dwarka Sector-21.
-
Package II: 4.2 km from Dwarka Sector-21 RUB to the Delhi-Haryana border, providing direct connectivity to UER-II.
Earlier, the 19 km Haryana section of Dwarka Expressway was inaugurated by the Prime Minister in March 2024.
In addition, the PM will inaugurate the Alipur to Dichaon Kalan stretch of UER-II, along with new links to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, built at a cost of around Rs. 5,580 crore. This road project is expected to ease traffic on Delhi’s Inner and Outer Ring Roads and key junctions such as Mukarba Chowk, Dhaula Kuan, and NH-09. The new spurs will provide direct access to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, improve industrial connectivity, reduce congestion, and facilitate faster goods movement across the NCR.
These initiatives are expected to significantly transform commuting patterns, enhance urban transport efficiency, and reflect the government’s continued focus on strategic infrastructure development across the National Capital Region.
