Faridabad-Noida-Ghaziabad Expressway Finally Set to Resume After 5 Years

The detailed project report (DPR) for the expressway is expected to take two to three months. However, the agency responsible for its construction has not yet been finalized. In a recent meeting, officials from Haryana PWD, NHAI, and the UP Government expressed their support for transferring the project to NHAI. This transfer could involve funding of approximately Rs 900 crore.

The Public Works Department is preparing to launch the Faridabad–Noida–Ghaziabad Expressway soon. However, uncertainty remains regarding the handling of the proposed work. Although the project was announced in 2019, five years have passed without a decision on the executing agency. The Public Works Department (PWD), Faridabad Metropolitan Development Authority (FMDA), and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) are all competing for the project.
