Originally part of the Delhi–Jaipur arterial route, NH-8 (now considered as NH-48) helped transform Gurgaon from a quiet farming region into a high-growth city.
Its prime advantage has always been connectivity — connecting Delhi, Gurgaon, Jaipur, and beyond. Over the decades, many commercial hubs, corporate parks, and residential corridors gravitated around it.
Now, with newer infrastructure corridors intersecting NH-8 (like Dwarka Expressway, SPR, and Pataudi Road), its importance is only rising. In fact, in New Gurgaon (Sectors 76–95, 102–113), many new housing micro-markets are directly influenced by NH-8.
RIDING THE GROWTH WAVE: PRICE TRENDS & YIELD MOMENTUM
Today, apartments along NH-8 in Gurgaon are priced between ₹10,200 and ₹22,000 per sq ft, depending on finish, location, view and project age.
Land parcels facing the highway command even steeper circle rates. This range shows how the corridor hosts both mature and premium projects.
Thanks to the concentration of businesses, office absorption in Gurgaon is particularly strong along the NH-8 belt. Knight Frank data shows that rental yield in these zones hovers between 4% and 6%, with capital appreciation of 8–12% annually in many cases.
Moreover, new arterial developments are strengthening the highway’s pull. The GMDA has approved flyovers and underpasses linking Dwarka Expressway with NH-8 to ease traffic and unlock corridors.
Also, the much-delayed revamp of the 2.2 km stretch between Hero Honda Chowk and Umang Bharadwaj Chowk has started with utility shifting.
The plan is to widen and upgrade this key link by April 2027. Once completed, it will reduce travel friction and add to property appeal along adjacent stretches.
THE SPILLOVER EFFECT: NEW GURGAON & EXTENDED CORRIDORS
NH-8 acts not just as a highway but as a spine from which residential zones extend. New Gurgaon, lying beyond the Kherki Daula toll, is now a hot zone precisely because of its proximity to NH-8 and improved links to the Dwarka Expressway and Pataudi Road.
Developers are shopping for land along the NH-8 flanks to build high-amenity townships, mixed-use blocks, retail precincts and green enclaves. Several projects worth thousands of crores are under development at SPR, GCX, and the NH-8 junction.
In the current Q3 2025 cycle, Delhi NCR saw 10,245 new housing units launched — 87% of those are in Gurugram. That underlines how Gurgaon continues to dominate real estate supply in the region.
Also, shifting circle rates in August 2025 have lifted registration benchmarks across Gurugram’s micro-markets, often pushing entry prices upward.
WHY NH-8 WILL STILL BE A REAL ESTATE DRIVER?
- Connectivity multiplier — with intersecting expressways, metro expansions, and link roads, NH-8 becomes more than just a road.
- Institutional demand — offices still cluster along this corridor, and many firms prefer addresses near NH-8 for visibility and logistics.
- Infrastructure upgrades — the current revamps and flyovers will reduce bottlenecks and boost appeal.
- Supply from spillover zones — New Gurgaon and adjacent sectors can offer more land and lower acquisition cost, feeding projects that lean on NH-8 prestige.
EMAAR SERENITY HILLS
Located along the NH-8 corridor in Gurgaon, Emaar Serenity Hills aims to combine luxury living with serene space. The project offers 3- and 4-BHK apartments in a gated township spanning 25 acres.
What is striking is that 70% of the area is dedicated to landscaped lawns, green belts, and open zones, giving a calm, low-density feel often missing in fast urban neighbourhoods. Emaar Serenity Hills Gurgaon comprises seven high-rise towers with a G+30 structure, bringing the total unit count to over 900 homes.
The development is supported by a massive 1 lakh sq ft clubhouse, which will house fitness, wellness, social, indoor and outdoor facilities — matching a 5-star living vision.
Connectivity of Emaar Serenity Hills is a strong selling point: the project claims the fastest access to NH-48 (old NH-8), Sohna Road and Golf Course Extension Road.
It is positioned about 10 minutes from NH-48, 5 minutes from Dwarka Expressway, and approximately 20 minutes from IGI Airport, making both daily commute and air travel convenient.
The amenities of Emaar Serenity Hills are designed for modern, new-age lifestyles: landscaped gardens, swimming pools, smart security, recreation zones, community spaces, walking trails and wellness areas.
By combining generous green cover, high-rise scale, and strong road access, Emaar Serenity Hills by Emaar India strives to offer a balanced premium living option in the Gurgaon NH-8 belt.
CONCLUSION
Basically, NH-8 is not just a route — it is a growth lever. For real estate investors and homebuyers, properties along it still hold one of the most compelling combinations of connectivity, appreciation potential, and ecosystem. But one should continually evaluate developer quality, legal clearances, traffic projections, and future infrastructure plans.
