Infrastructure Growth Expands Delhi-NCR Residential Market Beyond Gurugram and Noida
New Delhi, October 27, 2026: Infrastructure developments and planned urban expansion are driving a shift in Delhi-NCR’s residential real estate market, steering homebuyer interest beyond established hubs like Gurugram and Noida toward Ghaziabad, Greater Noida, and emerging Gurugram corridors. A growing focus on architectural design, spacious layouts, lifestyle amenities, and access to essential services is reshaping buyer preferences across the region, according to a press release.
Data from real estate services firm JLL’s Q2 2026 residential report shows that 10,021 homes were sold across Delhi-NCR during the quarter. Ghaziabad accounted for 18% of these sales, with the operational Namo Bharat corridor strengthening regional links and boosting the city’s appeal for premium housing.
Amogh Bansal, Managing Director, MUREC, said, “The expansion of NCR’s residential market reflects how infrastructure is influencing homebuyer preferences beyond established locations. As connectivity improves, buyers are exploring destinations that offer convenient access to employment centres while providing greater choice in housing and lifestyle. In Ghaziabad, the Delhi–Ghaziabad–Meerut Namo Bharat corridor, along with established road networks, is strengthening regional links and bringing the city into greater focus. This is creating opportunities for premium housing that combines accessibility with thoughtful design, spacious layouts and well-planned surroundings, making infrastructure an important factor in shaping the city’s residential growth.”
In Gurugram, connectivity projects such as the Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) and Dwarka Expressway are opening up emerging sectors and improving access to key business hubs. Ashwani Kumar, Pyramid Infratech, noted, “Infrastructure corridors often influence residential demand well before a location reaches full maturity, as buyers begin to reassess commute patterns, accessibility and the value of a particular address. In Gurugram, the Southern Peripheral Road and Dwarka Expressway are creating new points of interest beyond traditional residential catchments. For developers, this presents an opportunity to respond to a more evolved premium buyer, someone who wants convenient access to business districts but is unwilling to compromise on space, privacy or the quality of the living environment. How these corridors integrate with the wider city will be crucial to sustaining their residential appeal.”
Additionally, Greater Noida’s planned infrastructure and proximity to the upcoming Noida International Airport at Jewar are generating long-term demand. Yash Miglani, Managing Director, Migsun Group, stated, “The long-term success of an emerging residential destination depends on whether economic growth translates into a better everyday experience for its residents. Greater Noida has the advantage of planned urban development, while the Jewar airport and associated infrastructure could strengthen its economic relevance over time. The next phase will be about ensuring that residential growth keeps pace with this transformation through better social infrastructure, retail, healthcare, educational facilities and recreational spaces. For premium homebuyers, future potential matters, but so does the confidence that a neighbourhood can meet their needs well beyond the home itself.”
