Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Project[edit | edit source]
This Indo-Japanese multi-billion Corridor lies on National Highway-8. Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Development Corporation Limited (DMICDC), the special purpose vehicle (SPV) floated by the government of India for implementing the DMIC projects, had appointed the consultant for undertaking a study on the master plan for the Manesar-Bawal Investment Region (MBIR) and undertaking pre-feasibility studies for two early bird projects. The Haryana government had identified four Early Bird Projects to be implemented as a pilot initiative within the DMIC region, which includes Mass Rapid Transportation System between Gurgaon-Manesar-Bawal, exhibition-cum-convention centre, integrated multi-modal logistics hub and new passenger rail link.[2] The first phase was completed by 2012 with an estimated $90 billion (Rs 4,23,000 crore) invested in developing infrastructure in the investment regions.[3]
Northern Peripheral Road or Dwarka Expressway[edit | edit source]
The Northern Peripheral Road (commonly known as Dwarka Expressway) is being developed under the public private partnership (PPP) model. This stretch will connect Dwarka with NH 8 (now renumbered National Highway 48 (India)|NH 48) at Kherki Dhaula and will intersect Gurgaon-Pataudi road.
Dwarka Expressway has been planned as an alternate link road between Delhi and Gurgaon, and is expected to ease traffic congestion on the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway. The road will also provide connectivity to the Garhi Harsaru dry depot ICD.[4] It was planned to be completed in 2013 but has faced many hurdles as land on some sections has not been acquired. It has been declared a national highway and numbered NH 248-BB to overcome the hurdle of land acquisition as NHAI can acquire land directly bypassing the state governments. It may be completed in 2023.
