Property in Aligarh is entering a new growth phase as NHAI moves ahead with a 150-km greenfield highway to Moradabad. The 4-lane, access-controlled road will cut travel time between the two cities from 3 to 4 hours to about 90 minutes.<\/p>\n
Today, the Aligarh to Moradabad distance is about 150 to 160 km by road. Most traffic uses the older NH-509 route, which passes through busy towns and local markets. The new Moradabad Aligarh expressway, officially a greenfield national highway, will run on a fresh alignment through Amroha, Sambhal and Bulandshahr before joining the Aligarh Ring Road.<\/p>\n
Land acquisition is already under way in Moradabad and Aligarh. As a result, buyer interest is moving to the city’s edges. Demand is strongest for plots for sale in Aligarh near the Ring Road and Gabhana, along with plots in Tappal and plots in Jattari near the Yamuna Expressway.<\/p>\n

The route and the land acquisition plan are explained below.<\/span><\/p>\n The zero point of the highway is at Gajgola Nanakbari village, near the CNG station before Pakbara on NH-24 in Moradabad. From there, the road heads south through Amroha, Sambhal and Bulandshahr districts. It ends at a grade-separated interchange on the Aligarh Ring Road, which is still under construction.<\/span><\/p>\n The highway will be fully access-controlled. Vehicles will enter and exit only at set interchanges, and two-wheelers and three-wheelers will not be allowed on the main road.<\/span><\/p>\n The final alignment skips Chandausi and uses the Anoopshahr Bypass instead. This keeps highway traffic out of crowded town centers. It also lets vehicles keep a steady design speed of 100 km\/h for most of the route, which is how the 90-minute travel time becomes possible.<\/span><\/p>\n Land is being acquired in four districts. The notified stretches break down as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n Together, these come to 137 villages. Land is being acquired under Sections 3A and 3D of the National Highways Act, 1956. Compensation will be paid directly into the bank accounts of farmers and other landowners.<\/span><\/p>\n The new road will also tie into the wider highway network. It will connect to the Ganga Expressway through the Badaun link. Near Aligarh, it links with the Agra-Aligarh 4-lane project, where work on the first 28-km package toward Hathras is under way and is expected to finish by 2028. Once both are ready, property in Aligarh will sit at the meeting point of routes to Moradabad, Agra and the Ganga Expressway.<\/span><\/p>\n The highway will not lift every area by the same amount. Buyer demand is gathering in a few specific pockets, and each one suits a different budget and buyer type.<\/span><\/p>\n Tappal and Jattari sit in Khair tehsil, northwest of Aligarh city and close to the Yamuna Expressway. They are about 15 to 20 km from the new corridor’s catchment. This places them between two growth drivers: the Noida International Airport at Jewar on one side and the new eastern highway on the other.<\/span><\/p>\n Demand for plots in Tappal has grown with work on the airport and planning for YEIDA Phase-II. Plots in Jattari draw buyers who want a lower entry price than land directly on the Yamuna Expressway. Gated plotted communities in this belt offer 100 sq yd plots priced from Rs 20 lakh to Rs 39 lakh. Premium plots can cross Rs 78 lakh.<\/span><\/p>\n Buyers comparing options closer to the airport can also look at<\/span> plots for sale on Yamuna Expressway<\/span><\/a>. Those who prefer to stay within the district can browse<\/span> plots for sale in Aligarh<\/span><\/a> across both city and outer-ring locations.<\/span><\/p>\n Gabhana is where highway traffic will turn toward Aligarh city. Much of the land here is still farmland. However, organized residential plotting is picking up along Ramghat Road as buyers expect better access once the highway opens.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
