Sector 66, Gurgaon

Green areas along seven arterial roads in Gurgaon are being developed as rainwater absorption zones to mitigate waterlogging issues during heavy rains. This initiative by GMDA involves clearing debris and modifying road surfaces to facilitate water flow into these green belts, aiming to improve the city's drainage infrastructure.

The Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) has proposed acquiring approximately 1,150 acres to build 24-meter internal roads in Sectors 58 to 115 of Gurugram. This initiative aims to improve connectivity to private condominiums and residential colonies, addressing a long-standing issue for residents.

Despite an investment of approximately Rs 1,400 crore over the past decade on upgrading and cleaning the drainage network, Gurugram continues to face severe waterlogging during monsoons. Recent heavy rainfall exposed the inadequacy of the system, leading to submerged intersections and traffic disruptions, indicating a persistent gap between spending and effective infrastructure management.

The detailed project report (DPR) for a new 35-kilometer metro corridor in Gurgaon has been finalized, with an estimated cost of ₹10,428 crore. The corridor will connect Sector 56 on Golf Course Extension Road to Pachgaon on the Delhi-Jaipur Highway, featuring 28 elevated stations.

GMDA has revised its traffic decongestion plan for Ambedkar Chowk, deciding to construct an underpass alongside the proposed flyover. The project is expected to significantly reduce traffic congestion at this busy intersection, improving connectivity between Sectors 45, 46, 51, and 52, and the Gurugram-Sohna Highway.

Residential property prices in Gurgaon have seen an 18.4% increase in the past year, reaching Rs 16,249 per square foot. This surge is attributed to upcoming infrastructure upgrades, particularly the Gurgaon Greater Southern Peripheral Road (GSPR), which is enhancing the area's real estate appeal.

BPTP Limited has launched 'Downtown 66', a premium residential development in Sector 66, Gurugram, with a Gross Development Value of approximately Rs 2,500 crore. The project features 504 luxury residences and an estimated investment of Rs 1,200 crore.

GMDA is set to increase Gurugram's water supply capacity to 770 MLD by the end of May with the completion of a new 100 MLD water treatment plant. This expansion aims to address summer shortages, particularly in tail-end areas, and improve supply to sectors 58-73 through a newly laid pipeline under the Dwarka Expressway.

The Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation (HMRTC) has proposed 18 metro stations along the Gurugram-Faridabad-Noida-Greater Noida Namo Bharat RRTS corridor. Ten of these stations are planned for Faridabad, including at Sainik Colony, NIT-3, NIT-1, Bata Chowk (connecting to Delhi Metro's Violet Line), and extending to Badshahpur.
