Pataudi Road Gets a Major Upgrade as Global City Project Nears

Gurgaon: The Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) has been entrusted with a major task, upgrading Pataudi Road in preparation for the upcoming Global City project. The road, which spans a 6 km stretch connecting several residential and industrial areas, has long been a source of civic concern due to its poor condition. With open drains, overflowing wastewater, and a muddy, broken surface, the road has caused significant inconvenience for daily commuters. Additionally, the dilapidated state of the road has contributed to worsening air quality, as dust and vehicular emissions add to the pollution levels in the area.

Despite numerous complaints, no significant repair work had been undertaken in the past few years by the Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG). Initially, HSIIDC had planned to focus on upgrading only the section of Pataudi Road near the Global City site as part of its ongoing infrastructure development efforts. However, following a recent review, the government decided that the full stretch of the road, currently under MCG’s jurisdiction, should be included in the upgrade.

An HSIIDC official confirmed the decision, saying, “We initially planned to upgrade only the part of the road near the Global City. But now, the government has instructed us to develop a comprehensive upgrade plan for the entire stretch.”

The project is in its early stages, with a preliminary survey already completed. The next step will be hiring a consultant to design a detailed scheme for the road’s strengthening and widening. The official explained, “We are evaluating the available right of way (ROW), which ranges from 23 to 30 meters. Based on this, we will finalize the design, which will also include improvements to the sewerage and drainage systems. In some areas, the sewer lines already exist, while in others, they will need to be installed.” The consultant will prepare an integrated plan that covers the entire stretch of the corridor.

The cost of the project will be shared between HSIIDC and MCG. A senior MCG official also confirmed the shift in responsibility, stating, “The government has decided that HSIIDC will now manage the entire upgrade. The original plan for partial redevelopment has been expanded to include the full stretch of Pataudi Road.”

Earlier this year, MCG had announced a ₹34 crore plan to redevelop Pataudi Road as a model corridor, but the project failed to get off the ground. With the government’s latest directive, HSIIDC will now take charge of the road’s upgradation, incorporating it into the broader infrastructure planning for the Global City project.

Spanning nearly 1,000 acres near the Dwarka Expressway, the Global City project aims to be a world-class mixed-use urban hub, combining residential, commercial, and institutional spaces. Pataudi Road, as a key access route to the site, will play a vital role in ensuring smooth connectivity once the project is up and running.
