NH-8 (now part of NH-48) was once primarily the Delhi–Gurgaon highway. Over time, especially in the stretch beyond Kherki Daula toward New Gurgaon, it has become a live growth axis.
The strategic location, upcoming infrastructure, and developer interest are converting it into a central residential, commercial, and mixed-use corridor. A recent report notes that Gurgaon’s evolution is closely tied to its proximity to NH-8 and to the airport.
Also, Gurgaon property rates have jumped sharply, with average rates rising from about ₹6,150/sq ft in Q1 2020 to ₹11,300/sq ft in Q1 2025, a 84% increase over five years. This shows how demand and value are increasing across Gurgaon, and NH-8 stands to benefit even more.
Price Brand & Land Value: What the Figures Say
In the NH-8 corridor, apartment prices currently range from ₹10,200 to ₹22,000 per sq ft (depending on locality, amenities, project brand) for flats.
Meanwhile, in Manesar (further along NH-8), housing.com shows average property rates around ₹8,840/sq ft, with floor ranges from as low as ₹5,545/sq ft to a maximum near ₹21,428/sq ft in premium pockets.
Such wide variation gives developers the flexibility to launch mid- to premium-segment projects along the same corridor.
Because many older prime locations in Gurgaon are saturated or land parcels are scarce, NH-8 offers a fresh land supply. Developers are now pushing high-quality projects in sectors lining this corridor (“New Gurgaon” sectors 76–95, etc.).
Infrastructure Plus Connectivity: The Big Drivers
The value of NH-8 is tightly tied to infrastructure upgrades:
- NH-8 Revamp: After years of delay, work has started on utility shifting for a 2.2 km stretch between Hero Honda Chowk and Umang Bhardwaj Chowk (to widen the road, build flyovers) to ease congestion.
- Dwarka Expressway Link: GMDA is rebuilding a 2.8 km master road connecting Dwarka Expressway to NH-8 via sectors 83, 84, and 36A, with six lanes, a greenbelt, and footpaths.
- Shankar Chowk Junction: New lane modifications, U-turns and signage are being introduced to manage snarls at this busy NH-8 intersection.
These enhancements reduce travel time, improve safety, and make the corridor more attractive for residents and investors.
Developer Push & New Launch Momentum
Major developers are shifting focus to NH-8 because:
- Land is more available, enabling large projects with greater open space and better planning.
- Buyers are willing to pay a “corridor premium” for projects with good connectivity and modern amenities.
- Mixed-use developments (residential, retail, and office) are being planned for long-term sustainability.
As newer sectors along NH-8 (e.g., Sector 83–95, New Gurgaon) stabilise, the corridor is drawing both mid-segment and luxury launches side by side.
Risks & Things to Watch
- Traffic & Noise: Even after upgrades, highway exposure means noise and dust. Projects should use buffer landscaping, sound insulation, and tower setbacks.
- Flooding & Drainage: Gurgaon has faced waterlogging issues on the NH-8 corridors during heavy rains. (E.g. streets getting submerged between Hero Honda Chowk and Narsingpur)
- Clearances & Legal Risks: Ensure projects have proper approvals, environmental clearance, and clear RERA registration.
- Timely Execution: Delivery delays may erode buyer trust in a new corridor.
