Sector 67A, Gurgaon

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.

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.

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.

A 10-day strike by sanitation workers has led to an accumulation of over 3,500 metric tonnes of waste across Gurugram. The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) is working with remaining contractual staff to manage the situation, but residents are concerned about deteriorating sanitation conditions and the potential for a repeat of past crises.

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has placed a stay on the 'stilt + 4 floor' policy for residential plots in Gurgaon. This decision, stemming from a case (Sunil Singh vs. State of Haryana), impacts the builder floor market significantly. The court's order also affects directives issued by the Haryana government on July 2, 2024, regarding road width and NOC requirements.
