Namo Bharat Corridor To Link Gurugram, Faridabad and Noida

The National Capital Region (NCR) region is witnessing a hyperactive growth in terms of infrastructure and innovative ways of utilizing public transport for better connectivity. With an estimated investment of around ₹15,000 crore, the proposed Gurugram–Faridabad–Noida Namo Bharat Corridor, is increasingly being seen as a promising infrastructure project for the next phase of expansion in NCR. As the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the same is finalised now, the largely elevated high-speed corridor is designed to reduce travel time across the three major urban centres to under an hour. This is potentially going to transform mobility patterns across NCR.

Infrastructure has always shaped where people choose to live in the region. Be it new expressways or metro lines, such developments have opened up fresh residential spaces. The proposed Namo Bharat corridor connecting Gurugram, Faridabad and Noida is expected to do the same. Homebuyers will be able to focus less on distance and more on space, lifestyle and long-term affordability, with faster and more reliable travel that is expected with this latest move.

The timing is significant as NCR’s property market is already growing steadily. In 2025, most home sales have come from end-users, not short-term investors, showing more stable demand. Office leasing remains strong, backed by IT firms, Global Capability Centres and flexible workspace operators. Investment is also increasing in warehousing and data centres. With better regional access, both housing demand and commercial activity could see further momentum.

Among the three cities on the proposed corridor, Faridabad could see the biggest change. It has long been seen as a more affordable option compared to Gurugram and central Noida, but concerns around mobility have held it back. A high-speed regional transit link could improve this by providing faster and more reliable access to major job hubs across NCR, making the city more attractive to homebuyers.

If travel between Gurugram, Faridabad and Noida become smooth and predictable, homebuyers can start thinking beyond distance alone. Families looking for bigger homes, planned communities and greener surroundings could consider Faridabad without worrying about being cut off from work hubs. Over time, this can help the city move from being a secondary option to a stronger residential choice in NCR.

Developers say the corridor may change how buyers see this region. Mohit Malhotra, Founder & CEO of NeoLiv, says, “The Namo Bharat corridor has the potential to change how homebuyers view NCR by making cross-city travel faster and predictable. It positions the golden trinity of Faridabad, Gurgaon and Noida interconnected with commuting becoming seamless. Faridabad comes out as the 3rd mega city of NCR and a strong first-choice for families seeking space, luxury community and large organised green surroundings without losing access to commercial hubs. As the rapid rail advances, we foresee a more end-user-focused market where connectivity, planning and delivery standards shape long-term value.”

Developers with large land parcels in Faridabad, such as NeoLiv and BPTP, could be well placed to tap into the rising demand. As buyers increasingly look for well-planned communities with good amenities, projects in organised micro-markets will see fresh interest. Better access could further support this demand and strengthen the appeal of such projects.

Manik Malik, CEO, BPTP, notes, “The upcoming Namo Bharat RRTS corridor is a significant milestone in strengthening integrated mobility across the NCR. By enabling faster, multi-modal connectivity between Gurugram, Faridabad, Noida and Greater Noida, it lays the foundation for more inclusive and accessible urban growth. Such large-scale infrastructure investments serve as strong enablers for residential and economic development, linking population centres with key employment and commercial hubs. Faridabad, in particular, is poised to benefit from this improved regional integration, unlocking greater convenience and livability for both residents and businesses. As a stakeholder in this evolving urban framework, we remain aligned with the region’s infrastructure vision and are committed to supporting responsible, transparent development in line with all applicable statutory and regulatory mandates.”

The impact will not be limited to Faridabad. In Gurugram, the Namo Bharat RRTS corridor is expected to connect with key routes like NH-8, Dwarka Expressway, the metro network and Southern Peripheral Road. Better multi-mode access could allow professionals to live in Faridabad or Noida while working in Gurugram. Over time, this wider choice can also help reduce pricing pressure in the city’s main business areas.

Noida and Greater Noida, which already have strong metro and expressway networks, could also see fresh traction. Improved connectivity with Gurugram and Faridabad will push buyers to think more carefully about budget, commute time and lifestyle. Instead of choosing homes only based on how close they are to work, families can focus more on space, amenities and long-term value.

While the final impact will depend on timely execution and overall economic conditions, the Gurugram–Faridabad–Noida Namo Bharat Corridor has already started shaping discussions around NCR’s future growth. If completed as planned, it could support more connected and transit-led development, helping the region grow in a more integrated and coordinated way.
