Unlocking Kundli’s Potential: Infrastructure, Investment, Future

Gurugram, July 21, 2025: The Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway, also known as the Western Peripheral Expressway, has emerged as a game-changer for the real estate landscape in Kundli. This transformative infrastructure has significantly enhanced regional connectivity and catalysed development across multiple sectors.

Spanning 135.6 km, the six-lane, access-controlled expressway forms a semi-circular ring around the western periphery of Delhi. It seamlessly connects major national highways radiating from the capital, thereby helping to decongest Delhi’s traffic while accelerating economic growth, particularly in and around the Gurugram region.

The KMP Expressway starts at Kundli (Sonipat) and passes through key growth corridors such as Kharkhoda, Bahadurgarh, Badli, Jhajjar, Manesar, Nuh, Sohna, Hathin and culminates at Palwal.

Strategic Connectivity

The expressway intersects with key national highways—NH-1 at Kundli, NH-10 at Bahadurgarh, NH-8 at Manesar and NH-2 at Palwal—making it a vital artery for interstate travel and trade.

Boost to Infrastructure & Industry

The improved connectivity has facilitated the seamless movement of goods and people, fostering rapid growth in industrial, warehousing and logistics sectors. Kundli, in particular, has benefited immensely, emerging as a promising real estate destination with increasing interest from homebuyers and investors.

Enhanced Access to Airport

The expressway provides better access to the Indira Gandhi International Airport, especially for traffic coming from northern regions of the country—a major advantage for businesses and frequent travelers.

With such robust infrastructure support, Kundli is fast evolving into a preferred location for both residential and commercial real estate, marking its place as a shining star on Delhi-NCR’s growth map.

Akshay Taneja, MD, TDI Infratech Ltd., says, “The Kundli-Sonipat belt has been steadily carving out its place as one of NCR’s most promising real estate zones over the past decade. Its strategic location along the vital Delhi-Panipat-Chandigarh corridor and proximity to the capital have always been strong advantages.”

But what’s “really accelerated its growth now are the recent infrastructure upgrades—especially, the Eastern Peripheral Expressway. Combined with the area’s emergence as a growing industrial hub, we’re seeing a whole new wave of development. We believe, for investors and homebuyers, this translates to faster growth, better connectivity and strong long-term returns”.

Metro Extension 

It may be recalled here that the Delhi Metro’s Yellow Line from Samaypur Badli will be extended to Sonipat. The Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs approved the project extension in in March. This extension, part of Delhi Metro Phase IV, will add 26.5 km and 21 stations, connecting key areas in Delhi and Haryana.

Gurpal Singh Chawla, MD, TREVOC Group, said, “Among NCR’s peripheral regions, Kundli is clearly shifting from speculation to a demand-led market, backed by strong fundamentals. Key highways like NH-44, KMP Expressway, KGP Expressway, UER-II and both Eastern and Western Peripheral Expressways link it directly to Delhi, Manesar, Faridabad, Noida and beyond, enabling seamless connectivity.”

The upcoming Metro station will only strengthen last-mile access. With industrial projects like the INR 18,000-crore Maruti Suzuki plant generating thousands of jobs, the region is witnessing real economic traction. The Sonipat Master Plan 2031 further supports this with dedicated zones for residential, commercial and industrial growth. For early investors, the region presents a clear case for strong ROI and long-term real estate value.”

The ongoing development of logistics parks and warehousing hubs is also catalysing demand for commercial real estate. In essence, infrastructure is no longer just a supporting pillar; it’s the primary driver of Kundli’s real estate growth trajectory.

Honeyy Katiyal, Founder, Investors Clinic, said, “Beyond connectivity, the Kundli-Sonipat belt’s growth lies in its industrial surge. Driven by the development push under the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, the region is turning into an economic engine, introducing a structural growth in the city.”

When industries move in, “jobs follow, and with that comes the sustained demand for housing, retail and commercial infrastructure. Reputed developers like Godrej Properties, Hero Realty, Eldeco Group and more have started their expansion into the Sonipat market. This demand positions the region as a self-sufficient growth centre, and those who invest now, we believe, could ride a long-term upward curve in both value and demand.”

Sumit Choudhary, VP, Sales, RISE Infraventures, said, “The NCR’s peripheries, including Sohna, Sonipat, Panipat, Kundli and Karnal, are a classic case study of infrastructure-led urban transformation. Sohna’s integration into the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, Sonipat’s metro extension and UER-II link and Panipat’s RRTS corridor are not isolated upgrades; instead, they’re part of a broader connectivity revolution.”

With Maruti Suzuki’s mega plant, planned urban sectors and rising developer interest, “we foresee these regions shifting from speculative zones to structured growth markets”.

Due to its excellent connectivity, KMP Expressway has emerged as a real estate hub for Kundli. In terms of cluster split transactions, NH48/ Kundli Manesar Palwal Expressway (KMP) remains NCR’s dominant logistics hub, accounting for 77 per cent of total leasing in 2024, increasing from 66 per cent in 2023, per a recent report by Knight Frank.
