Rise of Gurgaon to Support New Delhi Part - I

Gurgaon has risen from being a small manufacturing suburb of Delhi to now a full fledged city of its own. Starting as an early auto manufacturing / IT center, the city now has most of the top corporates in North India with their head offices in Gurgaon as the city now has 3x the office space of entire Delhi city combined with a population that is a fraction of Delhi.

From being a suburb, the place has developed into a city in its own right. Despite the perceived “urban” mess the city does have a master plan to aid development till year 2025. Gurgaon has followed the classic Indian model of city development wherein the infrastructure problems are being sorted out after population has started to move in.

Key infrastructure Projects in Gurgaon are,

• Monorail development which will connect Cyber city developments of DLF with the existing metro thus reducing traffic congestion
• Road extension between Cybercity and DLF Golf course project in a JV between DLF and Government which should improve connectivity to DLF's phase V development
• Metro extension till New Gurgaon both from Dwarka and Gurgaon towards new Gurgaon office space (Northern Peripheral Road and Via Golf course extension).
• Southern Peripehery and Central periphery (4-6 lane roads) connecting Unitech's Sohna Road and Emaar's golf course extension land to the new upcoming office space in Sec 74 and 75 and Sector 88
• A 500MW power plant in the state should ease the electricity supply situation. Against the present electricity supply of 15-16 MM units daily, Gurgaon will get 20-22 MM units by the end of June 12
