Global City Gurugram Gets Multi-Highway Access: What It Means for Dwarka Expressway Property

Gurugram’s Global City project just cleared a genuine milestone. On July 31, 2026, state officials confirmed that the 1,000-acre township along Dwarka Expressway will get direct, grade-separated links to four major highways — not the usual single-access-road problem that strangles most new Gurgaon micro-markets for years. Here’s what actually got approved, where Phase 1 construction stands today, and what it plausibly means for property prices in the sectors around it.

What HSIIDC Just Approved: A Four-Highway Access Plan

Global City is being developed by the Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) across Sectors 36, 36B, 37, 37A and 37B, along Dwarka Expressway. The state government has now finalised a wide-ranging connectivity plan meant to give the township multiple entry and exit points rather than dependence on a single road.

The plan includes a grade-separated interchange with an underground link connecting Global City directly to Dwarka Expressway, a new wide arterial road near Narsinghpur providing a direct link to NH-48 (the Delhi–Jaipur Highway), and a Pataudi Road connection running through to Manesar and the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway.

Urban transport experts quoted in the coverage note that large greenfield projects genuinely need multiple access points to avoid choking a single corridor — this isn’t just a real estate press release, it’s a standard planning response to a real bottleneck risk.

Global City by the Numbers

A few figures worth knowing if you’re evaluating this corridor:

• Scale: Roughly 1,000 acres across five sectors, first announced in 2019, largely dormant for years, then re-launched by the state government in 2023.
• Positioning: Being marketed as the NCR’s Central Business District, with an investment potential cited around ₹1 lakh crore (roughly $15 billion) and a projected five lakh-plus jobs once fully built out.
• A record-tower plan: A 6.7-acre plot inside Global City has been earmarked for a proposed 620–700 metre mixed-use tower. If built as planned, it would surpass Mumbai’s Palais Royale and become India’s tallest building — this is a proposal at this stage, not a structure under construction.

Phase 1 Timeline: How Close Is December 2026, Really

Phase 1 covers 587 of the 1,000 acres and is focused entirely on backbone infrastructure — roads, drainage, underground utility corridors, power supply, and a 350-million-litre water reservoir, carrying an infrastructure outlay of roughly ₹940 crore. Work began in 2025 and officials have set a completion target of end-2026, with the full township build-out envisioned to run through 2035.

Progress reports vary by source: some early-2026 estimates put Phase 1 completion at around 20%, while officials cited in late-July coverage describe “a substantial part” of Phase 1 as already done, with the remainder targeted within a year. Read that gap honestly — this is still primarily a construction site, not a livable township, and buyers should treat any near-term possession claims from resellers with real scepticism.

Why This Matters for Dwarka Expressway Prices

Global City sits inside the broader Dwarka Expressway corridor (Sectors 99–113 and the adjoining stretch through 36/37), which has already been one of Gurugram’s most-watched appreciation stories. Current per-sq-ft pricing across the corridor runs roughly ₹12,000–18,000, though this varies sharply by sector and project — premium pockets like Sector 104 (Central Park) are quoted nearer ₹15,500–18,000/sq ft, while newer mid-segment stock in sectors like 103 and 107 trades lower. Treat any single-figure “Dwarka Expressway price” you see on a portal as a rough midpoint, not a quote for a specific project.

Analysts at Knight Frank, Anarock and CBRE have cited a cumulative appreciation estimate of roughly 40–60% for the Dwarka Expressway corridor by 2030, with metro connectivity and the Global City build-out named as the two biggest catalysts. That’s a projection, not a guarantee, and it’s a corridor-wide figure — individual sectors and projects will diverge from it in both directions.

Which Sectors Stand to Gain the Most

The sectors immediately adjacent to the new interchange and the Narsinghpur arterial road — broadly 99, 36/37, and the stretch toward 110–113 — are the ones most directly exposed to this specific news. A grade-separated link and a second/third highway access point reduce the single biggest risk buyers on this corridor have priced in for years: getting stuck behind one congested access road during peak construction traffic from the dozens of towers still being built along it.

Sectors further out on Dwarka Expressway, and areas along SPR and Sohna Road that compete for the same buyer budget, benefit indirectly — better Dwarka Expressway access tends to pull comparison-shopping buyers back toward that corridor rather than SPR, at least at the margin.

The Honest Caveats

A few things worth saying plainly before anyone treats this as a buy signal:

• Announced isn’t built. The interchange, the arterial road and the Pataudi Road upgrade are approved and planned, not operational. Construction timelines on Gurugram infrastructure projects have a well-documented habit of slipping.
• Global City itself has no resale market yet. Anyone buying “in” Global City today is buying into a greenfield township plan, not an established locality — that’s a materially different risk profile from buying resale stock in Sector 99 or 104.
• Experts quoted in the same coverage caution against reading this as a complete fix. Road-widening and new access points ease congestion and freight movement, but transport planners note that long-term liveability depends on parallel investment in mass transit and pedestrian infrastructure, not roads alone.
• Verify HRERA registration on any specific project before transacting — Global City as a township is a government infrastructure initiative, not itself a RERA-registered residential project, and any private residential or commercial launch within its sectors needs its own HRERA check on the Haryana RERA portal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Global City Gurugram RERA registered?
Global City itself is a state government township project developed by HSIIDC, not a single RERA-registered residential project. Individual residential or commercial developments launched within its sectors, or in the surrounding Dwarka Expressway area, need to be checked separately on the Haryana RERA (HRERA) portal before you transact.

When will Global City Phase 1 be completed?
Officials have targeted end of 2026 for Phase 1, which covers 587 of the project’s roughly 1,000 acres and focuses on roads, drainage, utilities and water infrastructure. Progress estimates vary by source, so treat the December 2026 date as a target rather than a confirmed handover.

Will the new highway links actually push up Dwarka Expressway property prices?
Analysts at Knight Frank, Anarock and CBRE cite a possible 40–60% cumulative appreciation for the corridor by 2030, naming Global City and metro connectivity as the key drivers. That’s a projection based on planned infrastructure, not a guarantee — actual movement will depend on how quickly the interchange and arterial roads actually get built.

What is the “India’s tallest building” plan near Global City?
Haryana has identified a 6.7-acre plot within Global City for a proposed 620–700 metre mixed-use tower, which would surpass Mumbai’s Palais Royale if completed. As of mid-2026 this is a proposal and land identification stage, not a project under construction, so treat any near-term marketing around it with caution.

Is it too late to invest in Dwarka Expressway sectors?
No — the corridor is still mid-build, with Global City’s own infrastructure only targeted for substantial completion by end-2026. Entry prices vary widely by sector (roughly ₹9,000–18,000/sq ft), so there’s still a meaningful range of price points, but buyers should weigh construction-traffic and possession-timeline risk against the appreciation upside.

How is Global City different from the rest of Dwarka Expressway (Sectors 99–113)?
Sectors 99–113 already have completed and under-construction residential towers with an active resale market. Global City (Sectors 36, 36B, 37, 37A, 37B) is a government-led mixed-use township still in its infrastructure-build phase, with no established residential resale market yet — it’s a longer-horizon, higher-uncertainty bet by comparison.

Should You Buy on Dwarka Expressway Now, or Wait?

If you’re an end-user who needs to move in soon, prioritise sectors with completed OC/CC and functioning social infrastructure over anything tied to Global City’s own timeline — that township is years from being livable. If you’re an investor with a five-year-plus horizon, the approved highway links are a real, dated catalyst worth factoring in for resale stock in Sectors 99, 104 and 110–113, alongside the metro extension already planned for the corridor. Either way, don’t buy on the headline alone — check the specific project’s HRERA status, promised possession date, and current construction progress before you commit.
