In recent decades, cities like Manesar, Pataudi, Sohna, Rewari, Dharuhera, Sidhrawali, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, Sonipat, Jhajjar, and others have experienced rapid population growth and increased job opportunities, fostering significant economic activities. Among them, Gurgaon has emerged as a key economic hub. Evidently, both the Southern and Northern Peripheral Roads (SPR-NPR) serve as the lifelines for Gurgaon, particularly for sectors 58 to 115, developed by the Haryana government in accordance with the latest Master Plan Gurgaon Manesar Urban Complex 2031.
The Vatika Chowk intersection stands out as one of the major traffic bottlenecks in the past decade, despite the presence of a flyover, posing challenges to traffic management. However, the recent introduction of an underpass is expected to alleviate this issue and contribute to the growth of business, population, and urban settlement. The Vatika Chowk underpass holds the promise of facilitating seamless traffic movement along the 30-KM long SPR and NPR, covering almost the entire expanse of Gurgaon—a significant milestone achievement.
The Haryana government strategically designed SPR/NPR in a semi-circular manner to ensure hassle-free commuting between Delhi and Gurgaon, promoting better urban planning and the seamless alignment of road, rail, and metro designs. However, the Vatika Chowk intersection, where SPR intersects with the Sohna Alwar road, has become a major bottleneck over the past decade. In response to this, an underpass was proposed in the detailed project report prepared by the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) as part of the redevelopment of the 13-KM SPR—from Ghata Chowk to NH 48 near Kherki Daula—dating back to 2018/19.
The traffic volume at this intersection has surged in the past decade, driven primarily by the exponential growth in the real estate sector in Gurgaon and Sohna. Gurgaon, especially the new sectors, became the preferred choice for people from the NCR due to property appreciation—both in terms of land and flats or apartments. Sohna Road and SPR transformed into commercial corridors, with malls, multiplexes, retail shops, and SCOs flourishing in response to the soaring demand for properties.
Real estate promoters are now leaving no stone unturned to capitalize on the growing urban scenario and meet the increasing demand for commercial and residential units. The Haryana government has implemented various housing policies to boost the real estate sector, with support from the NCR Planning Board and the NHAI in delivering road and rail infrastructure. Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal’s announcement of a metro line from Vatika Chowk to Pataudi further fueled real estate appreciation.
This presents an opportune moment to buy or invest in real estate properties along the SPR/NPR, but only after thorough research into the credentials of promoters and projects. Signature Global, a real estate company, has carved a niche in Gurgaon and stands as a trustworthy option for property buyers.
