Impact on Real Estate Market

The Aligarh Expressway is poised to have a transformative impact on the real estate market in the Delhi-NCR region. Here’s how:

1. Boost in Property Values

Enhanced connectivity always translates into increased demand for real estate. Areas along the expressway—such as Khandauli, Hathras, and Aligarh—are expected to see a surge in property prices. Proximity to a major expressway makes residential and commercial properties more attractive to buyers and investors.

2. Development of New Residential Hubs

The expressway will open up new areas for development, encouraging real estate companies to launch housing projects aimed at middle and upper-income groups. Affordable housing projects may also see a rise to cater to the growing population seeking convenient travel to urban hubs.

3. Growth of Commercial Real Estate

With improved access to Jewar Airport and the Yamuna Expressway, the expressway will attract industrial and commercial investments. This is particularly significant for the Aligarh Defense Corridor, as supporting industries and businesses will require warehouses, offices, and ancillary facilities.

4. Increased Rental Demand

Better connectivity to Jewar Airport and NCR will make areas along the expressway appealing to working professionals and students, driving up rental demand and opportunities for rental yields.

5. Infrastructure-Driven Growth

The expressway will catalyse the development of schools, hospitals, shopping centers, and entertainment hubs in its vicinity, further enhancing the appeal of living and investing in these areas.

Economic Growth and Job Creation

The construction and eventual operation of the expressway will generate thousands of jobs—both direct and indirect. It will also support industries reliant on logistics, such as manufacturing and retail. The economic ripple effect is expected to uplift the entire region, making it a model for infrastructure-driven growth.

The Aligarh Expressway is more than just a road; it’s a pathway to progress. It promises to reduce travel time, bolster economic growth, and transform real estate markets, making Delhi-NCR a more connected and livable region. For residents, businesses, and investors, this project signals a brighter future, with opportunities knocking at every milestone.

As construction gears up, the excitement is palpable. This expressway is set to redefine not just how we travel but how we live, work, and invest in the region.
