Relief For Noida, Gurugram Officegoers: How Delhi's Third Ring Road Will Help Beat Traffic Snarls

Delhi Third Ring Road: The corridor begins at Alipur in North Delhi and stretches to Mahipalpur near the Delhi–Gurgaon Expressway, passing through Bawana, Rohini, Mundka, Dwarka. Delhi Third Ring Road: Delhi's Third Ring Road, officially called the Urban Extension Road‑II (UER‑II), is likely to be opened for public starting August, easing major traffic woes between Delhi, Gurugram and Noida. The new Ring Road is a planned 74 km, six‑lane corridor built as part of the Delhi Master Plan 2021. The corridor begins at Alipur in North Delhi (on NH‑44) and stretches to Mahipalpur near the Delhi–Gurgaon Expressway (NH‑48), passing through industrial and developing zones such as Bawana, Rohini, Mundka, Najafgarh, Dwarka, and Bakkarwala. The corridor was developed in five packages by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and Delhi Development Authority (DDA) and was later declared a national highway powered by a Rs 8,000‑crore budget. The UER‑II acts as a modern high‑speed bypass, relieving pressure from the existing inner and outer ring roads. It will enable fast travel between outer areas and key points like Indira Gandhi International Airport, cutting the journey times by about 50 per cent. By linking major expressways — like the Delhi‑Meerut, Delhi‑Jaipur, Delhi‑Dehradun, and Dwarka Expressway — it diverts long‑distance and freight traffic away from central Delhi. This will help reduce peak‑hour traffic snarls and even help cut down pollution, and fuel consumption. The corridor also links Eastern and Western Peripheral Expressways bringing faster access to areas such as Noida and Faridabad. People living in areas like Bawana, Rohini, Mundka, Najafgarh, Dwarka, and Narela will get direct, signal-free access to other parts of Delhi and the airport, avoiding inner city congestion. With improved access across expressways and industrial hubs, office commuters between Delhi and nearby NCR towns will benefit from reduced commute times, especially those traveling between Dwarka, Gurugram, Noida, and Ghaziabad. Areas like Mundka, Bawana Industrial Area, and Tikri Kalan—which see heavy worker and goods traffic—will now connect more efficiently to the airport, major roads, and freight hubs. Delhi Third Ring Road Opening Date Reports quoting officials say UER‑II is 95 per cent complete, with operations expected by August 2025. Some segments — like those around Najafgarh, Mundka, and Alipur — are already functional. When fully open, travel times from outer Delhi to IGI Airport could be reduced by nearly 60 per cent. What Extension Has Been Planned (Eastern Arm)? The eastern arm extension of UER‑II, reported by Hindustan Times, plans to stretch this corridor further east into Ghaziabad and Noida. The report says the first 17 km section connects Alipur/UER‑II through Tronica City to the Delhi‑Dehradun Expressway, costing roughly Rs 3,350 crore. The second leg, approximately 65-km long, runs from Mandaula to Noida via Ghaziabad, Farukhnagar, Ghitora, Hidan and Indirapuram — estimated at Rs 7,500 crore. Together, the full 82 km extension totals about Rs 10,850 crore, the HT report says. This eastern arm allows long‑haul and local traffic from southeast and eastern Delhi to bypass central avenues like Ring Road, Outer Ring Road, Kalindi Kunj, and Sarai Kale Khan. It also eases congestion on the Delhi‑Meerut and Delhi‑Dehradun highways. The route will improve connectivity for Ghaziabad, Noida, Loni, Baghpat, and parts of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. Together, UER‑II and its eastern arm create a broken high‑speed 'ring" around the city. They offer modern infrastructure for passenger and freight vehicles, reduce congestion on overloaded roads, and offer efficient connectivity to peripheral towns and cities. Once complete, these roads promise a smoother, greener, and faster commute for Delhi and the National Capital Region. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

DPCC fines illegal factory 5 lakh in Delhi Cantt, flags waste dumping in Hari Nagar

New Delhi: Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) has imposed an environmental compensation of Rs 5 lakh on a factory operating illegally in Sadar Bazar, Delhi Cantonment. The unit was found to be running without the mandatory Consent to Establish (CTE) and Consent to Operate (CTO), DPCC informed the National Green Tribunal (NGT). Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The matter came to light following a complaint referred to the DPCC last year by the office of then Delhi cabinet minister Saurabh Bharadwaj, based on a resident's allegations. The same issue was later brought before the NGT. The complaint stated that an illegal factory was operating at odd hours, running heavy machinery, and not managing the waste. In a report dated June 5, 2025, and uploaded on Saturday, DPCC stated, "The unit was involved in selling bakery and confectionery items with in-house manufacturing. The establishment had a trade licence from the Delhi Cantonment Board, but no CTO and CTE were issued by the DPCC." A joint inspection by DPCC and Delhi Cantonment Board officials was conducted on Sept 23, 2024. The report further noted that while the area is designated as mixed-land use under the Delhi Master Plan 2021, only shops up to 20 sqm are permitted. The factory in question exceeded this limit. "Accordingly, a showcause notice was issued on Sept 30, levying an environmental compensation of Rs 5 lakh," DPCC said, adding, "Further, the DPCC on the same day issued a direction to the Delhi Cantonment Board (DCB) to seal the unit." In a separate case, DPCC submitted another report to the NGT concerning an overflowing dhalao (garbage dump yard) in Hari Nagar, west Delhi. The complaint alleged that despite being officially closed, the dump site continued to be used for waste disposal. An inspection was conducted in Jan 2025 at dhalao number 132, located on Mangal Pandey Road, near Hanuman Park. "The dumping yard is found at the boundary of Hanuman Park, adjacent to Mangal Pandey Road. The yard is in a damaged condition and can collapse at any time," said the report dated June 19 and uploaded on Saturday. It also noted that the main drain was clogged, and garbage was spilling over onto the footpath. DPCC has asked Municipal Corporation of Delhi to submit a detailed action taken report regarding the condition of the dhalao and remedial measures undertaken.

Urban Extension Road to open by August, will boost connectivity between Delhi, UP & Haryana

Come August, it will be easier to travel from Outer Delhi to the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport. The Centre's ambitious Urban Extension Road (UER)-II project is 95% complete, officials have said, and is expected to be finished in two months. It will also bring Chandigarh closer to Gurgaon and IGIA and boost connectivity between the Capital, and neighbouring Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, as per officials. The Rs 8,000-crore project, which is set to halve the travel time between Outer Delhi and parts of the NCR to IGIA, spans 74 km. 'The project will not only reduce traffic congestion but will also curb vehicular pollution, save fuel and cut travel time… it will boost connectivity between Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh… it will also provide direct connectivity between Sonipat and Gurgaon,' said an official. The project was conceptualised as part of the Delhi Master Plan 2021 as the third Ring Road of Delhi, as per a government document on the decongestion plan. However, the project was later declared a national highway, which has been developed in five packages. Of the total, three packages — 1, 2, and 3 fall in Delhi, and the remaining in Haryana. Currently, Delhi has two Ring Roads — Inner and Outer Ring Road. Easing traffic congestion on the Inner and Outer Ring roads and boosting connectivity across Outer, North, Northwest, West, and Southwest Delhi are among the key aims of the project. The expressway starts from NH-44 in Alipur and ends at Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway on NH-48 near Mahipalpur, passing through the industrial areas of Outer Delhi like Bawana, Rohini, Mundka, Bakkarwala, Najafgarh, and Dwarka — forming a half ring or circle, said officials. The stretch is also set to be a key link between Haryana's Bahadurgarh from West Delhi's Najafgarh, and the Dwarka Expressway and Gurgaon. It also links Eastern and Western Peripheral Expressways with an eye on easing snarls. 'It is one of the most ambitious projects of Delhi and it will connect the Outer and South Delhi, especially the rural parts of the city…The construction of this project will benefit some of the undeveloped areas in Delhi, such as Najafgarh, Mundka, Karala, Alipur, and Bawana, providing quicker access to key locations in South Delhi, Noida, and Faridabad, and improving connectivity to major highways like the NH-48,' the official explained. The project is being developed by the DDA and the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI).
