Envisioned as a hub for international business and innovation, this mega-development promises to redefine Haryana's urban identity, with Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini promising an investment of Rs 1 lakh crore with a target to generate five lakh employment opportunities after its completion.

Spanning 1,000 acres across Gurugram's Sectors 36B, 37A, and 37B near the Dwarka Expressway, the development is designed as a mixed-use township. It will feature residential complexes, commercial hubs, hospitality zones, educational institutions, and cutting-edge infrastructure, all built to international standards. The first phase, covering 587 acres and costing Rs 940 crore, is slated for completion by January 2026.

The project boasts of advanced connectivity—30 minutes from Delhi's international airport, 20 minutes from the railway station, and just 10 minutes from a planned heliport and multimodal transit hub. Moreover, a 10-kilometre underground utility tunnel will house water, telecom, and electricity lines, minimizing future disruptions, while a mass rapid transit system will link the city internally and to the broader region.
