The opening of the 9-km DND Flyway-Jaitpur stretch is set to make travel between Delhi and Faridabad easier, adding another important link to the wider DND-Faridabad-Sohna corridor. For daily commuters, the immediate benefit is a potentially smoother and faster route between the two cities.
For Faridabad’s real estate market, however, the bigger question is whether better connectivity can change how homebuyers view the city.
The wider DND-Faridabad-Sohna corridor has been developed to improve connectivity across the National Capital Region, linking key parts of Delhi, Faridabad, Gurugram and Sohna while strengthening access to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. Government project updates have also highlighted the corridor’s role in improving regional connectivity, including access towards the upcoming Noida International Airport.
Could Faridabad become a stronger option for Delhi commuters?
For years, Faridabad has offered homebuyers relatively more space and varied price points compared to several other NCR markets. However, connectivity and daily travel time have often played an important role in how buyers evaluate the city. The new DND link could help change that equation.
Square Yards data shows significant variation in property prices across Faridabad’s residential micro-markets. In Sector 21C, for instance, the average apartment sale price is around Rs 8,750 per square foot (psf). In the Neharpar belt, Sector 86 has an average apartment sale price of around Rs 7,450 psf, while Sector 88 is relatively more affordable at approximately Rs 6,100 psf.
For buyers working in Delhi, improved road connectivity could make these price points more compelling.
After all, affordability is only one part of the homebuying decision. A property may offer more space for the same budget, but its appeal can be limited if the daily commute is unpredictable or time-consuming. A smoother route to Delhi could therefore expand Faridabad’s appeal among buyers who may have previously looked at the city primarily through the lens of distance.
Not every part of Faridabad will benefit in the same way
The impact of improved connectivity is also unlikely to be uniform across the city. Established residential locations closer to Delhi already command a premium. According to Square Yards data, the average apartment sale price in Sector 15 is around Rs 10,500 psf, compared to approximately Rs 7,100 psf in Sector 9 and Rs 5,450 psf in Sector 17.
This difference reflects the importance of location and accessibility in Faridabad’s residential market.
The more interesting opportunity could lie in emerging and developing residential pockets that offer relatively lower entry prices. Neharpar Phase 1, for example, has emerged as one of the city’s key residential growth areas, with multiple ongoing and upcoming projects.
A changing accessibility equation for Faridabad
The opening of the DND-Jaitpur stretch could nevertheless strengthen Faridabad’s position within the NCR residential market. The city already offers a wide range of price points. Square Yards data shows average apartment prices ranging from around Rs 6,100 psf in Sector 88 to approximately Rs 10,500 psf in Sector 15, giving buyers options across different budgets and stages of development. Improved connectivity could add another layer to that value proposition.
For a homebuyer comparing locations across NCR, the decision is rarely based on property prices alone. Commute time, access to employment hubs, social infrastructure and future connectivity all play a role.
That is where the new DND link could matter most.
Rather than triggering an immediate surge in property prices, the improved route could gradually change how Faridabad is positioned in the minds of NCR homebuyers. If it delivers a smoother and more reliable connection to Delhi and integrates effectively with the wider expressway network, Faridabad could become a stronger contender for buyers looking for a combination of affordability, residential space and connectivity.
