Dwarka Expressway, UER-II Drive Delhi-NCR Housing Demand Surge

The Dwarka Expressway and Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) have become major growth corridors driving housing demand across Delhi-NCR, according to recent reports by leading real estate firms Anarock Property Consultants and Cushman & Wakefield.

Improved connectivity and closeness to Gurugram and Dwarka have turned these stretches into hotspots for homebuyers and investors alike, boosting interest in properties and pushing up prices.

Connectivity Boosts Prices
Data from Anarock shows that housing supply in Delhi-NCR grew by 23% in the first half of 2025 compared with the same period last year. “Connectivity has made a big difference. Buyers now see these areas not just as places to live, but as smart long-term investments,” said the report.

Property prices rose 11% between January-June 2024 and the same period in 2025, showing a strong year-on-year increase. Despite higher prices, demand remains steady, with 56% of buyers preferring 3BHK apartments, followed by 36% for 2BHKs, and only 5% for 1BHKs.

Sumeet Negi, the report’s author, noted that the shift toward larger homes, which began during the pandemic, continues. “Smaller homes with limited amenities and poor design no longer appeal to buyers who want comfort and better connectivity to workplaces,” he said.

Gurugram Leads the Market
The Cushman & Wakefield Q3 housing report (June-September) found Gurugram leading the luxury housing segment, accounting for 87% of all high-end launches during the quarter. Of the 10,245 new residential units launched in Delhi-NCR, a 12% rise over the previous quarter, New Gurugram and Dwarka Expressway were the most active sub-markets, contributing 23% and 20% of total launches, respectively.

“UER-II will create a continuous high-speed loop connecting Delhi’s outskirts with commercial and industrial zones. This will make western and northern corridors, as well as areas near the airport, far more attractive for both homebuyers and investors,” said Suvishesh Valsan, senior director at Cushman & Wakefield.

UER-II will link multiple NCR markets into a single, well-connected network, giving buyers and investors flexibility to choose locations that suit both lifestyle and budget.
