Delhi Transfers Rohtak Road Redevelopment to NHAI for Faster Execution

The Delhi government has handed over the redevelopment of Rohtak Road to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), shifting the project from the Public Works Department (PWD) to ensure faster completion. The decision follows numerous complaints from residents about the deteriorated condition of the road, which serves as a key link between Outer North Delhi and Haryana. 

Delhi PWD Minister Parvesh Verma, after inspecting the stretch, stated that waterlogging caused by sewer overflow has severely damaged the road, leading to large potholes and traffic disruptions. The 18-kilometer stretch from Peeragarhi Chowk to Tikri Border will undergo a Rs 1.15 billion redevelopment, including improved drainage, with a targeted completion timeline of 14 months. 

Given that the project passes through areas with Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) pipelines and three Delhi Metro stations, necessary permissions will be obtained to prevent delays. Verma urged officials to expedite approvals, stressing that delays lead to cost escalations. He also criticised previous administrations for neglecting the road’s maintenance, leading to its current state.
