News: Rao Narbir Singh Tells GMDA to Meet Project Deadlines-12-06-2026
Haryana industries and commerce minister Rao Narbir Singh reviewed infrastructure projects at the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) office on Thursday and directed the authority and other civic agencies to complete works on time and coordinate better. In a statement, he said the government’s priority is better basic amenities through faster work on roads, drainage, drinking water and other facilities.
GMDA officials said projects worth approximately Rs 1,144 crore are under implementation, Rs 1,453 crore worth are at the tendering stage and works of around Rs 1,883 crore are being planned or awaiting approval.
Work is under way on five major elevated road projects, the minister was told. Consultants are being appointed for the Rajiv Chowk to Atul Kataria Chowk, Mahavir Chowk to IFFCO Chowk and Atul Kataria Chowk to Dwarka Expressway roads. The first package of the SPR elevated corridor (NH-48 to Vatika Chowk) is being tendered, and a consultant is being appointed for the second (Vatika Chowk to Faridabad Road).
On drinking water, officials said demand in 2026 is estimated at around 770 MLD, against 670 MLD produced by the authority’s two treatment plants. About 100 MLD comes from tubewells run by the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram and private developers. Demand is projected to reach around 1,170 MLD by 2031, and a phased augmentation plan is ready.
The 7.5-metre-wide service roads along the Dwarka Expressway, costing Rs 99.50 crore, are about 70% complete on the 27.2-km project and targeted for September 2026.
Those attending included DS Dhesi, principal adviser, Urban Development Department; GMDA chief executive officer PC Meena; Pradeep Dahiya, commissioner of the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram; and Pradeep Singh, commissioner of the Municipal Corporation of Manesar.
