Plans for AIIMS to Ggm elevated route
Hindustan Times Delhi
|September 30, 2025
LIKELY TO COST ~5,000 CRORE
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has started planning work on the construction of an elevated corridor connecting AIIMS to Mahipalpur bypass and the Gurugram-Faridabad Road, officials said.
The new corridor is expected to significantly decongest the Delhi-Gurugram highway (NH-48), Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road and the two ring roads.
The highway authority invited bids on September 24 for a firm that will prepare the detailed project report (DPR), likely to be completed by October 15, officials added. According to initial estimates, the elevated corridor will be 20km-long and is likely to cost around ~5,000 crore. However, the final cost will be estimated only after the project report is completed.
The Delhi decongestion plan says this elevated corridor will extend from AIIMS/INA to Nadira Marg and go on to connect the Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road and Gurgaon-Faridabad road. It will be parallel to the existing Delhi-Gurgaon highway, officials explained.
