Aligarh–Palwal Expressway Picks Up Pace With ₹1,350-Cr Push

Khair Bypass and Rural Stretches See Fast-Track Work

Construction on the Aligarh–Palwal Greenfield Expressway has accelerated after significant progress in land acquisition. The project aims to establish fast, safe, and uninterrupted road connectivity between Aligarh, Palwal, and the wider NCR region. Costing around ₹1,350 crore, the project’s crucial groundwork is now in place with on-site activities picking up pace. 

Key Highlights: Aligarh–Palwal Greenfield Expressway

Total Length: 72 KM

Project Duration: 18 Months

Project Cost: ₹1,350 crore

Connectivity: Aligarh, Noida, Gurugram, and Delhi

Khair Bypass Takes Priority

Khair Bypass construction has been established as the first component of the project. This area has faced consistent traffic congestion for years. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has prioritised this stretch and set a one-year deadline for its completion. 

With the new roadway in place, the journey duration between Aligarh, Noida, Gurugram, and Delhi will shrink considerably. The perpetual traffic congestion in Khair town will effectively be eliminated, offering a dedicated alternative route for heavy vehicles. This will benefit residents, daily travellers, and commercial transport alike.

Majority of Land Acquisition Completed

Out of the total 325 hectares required for the expressway, acquisition of about 200 hectares has already been finalised. For the remaining land, the district administration is conducting outreach in villages and issuing compensation to farmers. Most landowners have accepted the settlement, allowing the process to move ahead without major disputes.

Route to Pass Through 31 Villages

The upcoming expressway will cut across 31 villages in Aligarh district, including Ainchna, Lakshmangarhi, Udaygarhi, Bankner, and Tappal. Earth filling, cutting, and levelling are progressing swiftly in these rural stretches. Besides improving regional connectivity, the activity is also contributing to local economic development.

CDS Company Leads Construction

NHAI initiated the groundwork about six months ago. While the initial phase moved slowly, construction, levelling, and soil work are now advancing rapidly. Haryana-based CDS Company has been entrusted with executing the project while adhering to the timeline.

72-km Corridor to Boost Connectivity

Once completed, it is expected to significantly reduce travel time for commuters heading towards various NCR destinations and ease traffic pressure on existing routes.

Employment Opportunities and Industrial Push

The project has already generated employment for local workers, engineers, transporters, and material suppliers during the construction phase. After completion, the expressway is expected to attract warehouses, logistics hubs, and industrial units along its stretch, further strengthening the regional economy.
