- Property, Real Estate
Transportation infrastructure has a strong impact on the Indian real estate sector. The metro corridors, highways and expressways are critical in influencing the property market particularly in emerging urban fringes. A classic example of this transformation is the impact of the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway on real estate growth in Kundli, a fast-developing region in Sonipat district, Haryana. The KMP Expressway—also known as the Western Peripheral Expressway (WPE)—has not only improved regional connectivity but also triggered a real estate boom in its adjoining areas. Kundli, being one of the prime beneficiaries, is witnessing exponential growth in infrastructure, residential development, and investor interest. This blog explores how the KMP Expressway has become a game-changer for Kundli’s real estate landscape, turning it into one of the most promising realty hotspots in Haryana.
Â
What is KMP Expressway?
KMP Expressway is a 135 km, six-lane controlled-access expressway that constitutes the western half of the circular ring road around Delhi NCR. It connects the industrial towns of Kundli (Sonipat) in the north, Manesar (Gurugram) in the west, and Palwal (Faridabad) in the south.
Key Features:
- 6-lane wide and service lanes on both sides
- Connects NH-44 (GT Road), NH-9, NH-48 (Delhi-Jaipur Highway), and NH-19 (Delhi-Agra Road)
- Lessens the traffic of commercial and heavy vehicles in Delhi
- Provides direct access to Kundli, Murthal, Sonipat, Rohtak, Jhajjar, Gurugram, and Faridabad
Â
The expressway was commissioned to decongest Delhi and encourage industrial and residential development beyond the capital and has opened up huge development opportunities along its corridor.

Kundli: The Northern Gateway of the KMP Corridor
Located at the northern terminal of the KMP Expressway, Kundli is a town that has historically been known for its proximity to Delhi and Murthal. With the completion of KMP, Kundli’s strategic importance has increased manifold.
Kundli is now part of the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) and the Amritsar-Kolkata Industrial Corridor (AKIC). It is also becoming a residential and logistic center, courtesy of projects such as:
- TDI City Kundli
- Parker Residency
- Omaxe City
- Jindal Global University
- Rajiv Gandhi Education City

How KMP Expressway Has Transformed Kundli’s Real Estate Scene
Let’s take a closer look at the specific ways the KMP Expressway has influenced real estate growth in Kundli:
________________________________________
- Better Connectivity in NCR
Before the KMP Expressway, reaching areas like Manesar, Gurugram, or Faridabad from Kundli meant long travel times through congested Delhi routes. The expressway now provides a signal-free corridor, which has significantly cut down the travel time.
Connectivity Highlights:
- Kundli to Manesar: ~60 minutes
- Kundli to Palwal: ~90 minutes
- Kundli to IGI Airport: Faster via NH-44 and KMP
- Easy access to industrial areas in Jhajjar, Rohtak and Bawal
This improved connectivity has made Kundli more accessible for industries, logistics companies, and real estate developers, leading to rising property demand.

- Relocation of Development Pressure in Central Delhi
With the capital city struggling with overpopulation, traffic, and high land prices, areas like Kundli offer a viable alternative. The KMP Expressway acts as a bypass for heavy commercial vehicles and intercity traffic, reducing the load on Delhi roads and redirecting movement through Kundli.
This strategic diversion is spurring large-scale urbanization in Kundli, with new projects focused on:
- Residential townships
- Warehouses and logistics parks
- Health and educational infrastructure
Â
- Increase in Residential Demand
The expressway has made Kundli an attractive residential option for working professionals from Delhi, Gurugram, and other parts of NCR. Consequently, real estate developers are putting a lot of money in plotted developments, group housing, villas and affordable housing projects.
Buyer Demographics:
- North Delhi working professionals
- Families with middle income who want bigger houses
- Investors who are looking at appreciation and rental returns
- NRIs seeking land investment in North India
TDI City, Kundli, for example, offers well-planned plots, 2 & 3 BHK apartments, and villas with modern infrastructure, ideal for both end-users and investors.
Â
Â
- Industrial & Warehousing Boom
Due to its proximity to KMP, Kundli has emerged as a preferred location for logistics, warehousing, and manufacturing units. The land in the expressway is cheaper than Delhi or Gurugram, and thus it is ideal to use in large-scale industries.
Key drivers:
- Near the wholesale markets and airport of Delhi
- Convenient movement of products to Punjab, Haryana, UP and Rajasthan
- Existence of large-format warehousing companies
- Generation of job opportunities that increase residential demand
This business development inevitably drives up real estate values, rental rates and population inflow in the area.

- Land and Plots Price Appreciation
Land prices in Kundli and nearby sectors have witnessed consistent appreciation since the KMP Expressway became operational. The same that was sold at 20,000-30,000/sq. yd. is now sold at more than 80,000-1,00,000/sq. yd. in some sectors.
This is furthered by the fact that:
Infrastructure is enhanced
Developers come in the market
Plotted development demand increases
Early investors have already realized 40-70 percent returns on their land investments in 3-5 years.

- Government & Master Planning
The Haryana government is actively promoting Sonipat and Kundli as smart, planned extensions of Delhi NCR. New sectors, zones and nodes are being planned along the KMP Expressway as the spine to accommodate residential, commercial and institutional growth.
Key Government Plans Include:
- Kundli Smart City vision
- Rajiv Gandhi Education City
- Industrial Model Towns (IMT) near Sonipat
- New Metro lines and city expressways
This type of planned development makes sure that the growth of real estate is not only organic but also sustainable and will bring long-term value to the investors and homebuyers.
Â
- Rental & Commercial Potential
With connectivity, employment hubs, and education institutions booming around Kundli, the demand for rental properties is steadily increasing.
- Jindal Global University and other students
- Industrialists in the adjacent industrial belts
- Short term renters who come to Delhi during festivals and events
Shops, offices, and showrooms in areas like TDI City, Kundli, are also seeing strong demand due to increasing population and retail activity, giving a dual return potential — rental + appreciation.
