The Faridabad Noida Road Project, centered around the Manjhawali bridge, is one of NCR’s most crucial cross-state infrastructure projects. Designed to directly connect Faridabad in Haryana with Greater Noida in Uttar Pradesh, the project is expected to slash travel time from 1.5 hours to just 20-25 minutes—a potential game-changer for residents, traders, and most importantly, real estate investors.
Timeline of Development
Foundation to Construction Phase
- 2014: Foundation stone laid for the Manjhawali bridge project.
- 2014–2024: Road connectivity stalled due to land acquisition disputes with farmers on the Greater Noida side.
Faridabad Noida Bridge Construction
- 2024: 630-meter-long, 4-lane bridge completed. Haryana side and 1 km of the Greater Noida stretch also developed.
Land Acquisition & Road Construction Progress
- Jan 2025: Agreement reached with farmers in Murshadpur, Afzalpur, Jaganpur, and Atta Gujran for the final 4 km stretch.
- Mar 12, 2025: Public notice issued to acquire ~6.5 hectares; ₹25.62 crore budget released for compensation.
- Mar 22, 2025: Objection period ended—no objections received.
Current Status (As of April 2025)
- Bridge structure ready and was expected to be operational by March 2025.
- Final land acquisition and registration in progress for 4 km connecting road from bridge to Atta Gujran, Greater Noida.
- Once completed, this will be a seamless high-speed corridor between Faridabad and Greater Noida.
Positives for Real Estate Investors
- Connectivity = Value Appreciation
Commute time dropping to 25 minutes will open up Greater Faridabad and Greater Noida as twin investment hubs, suitable for both residential and commercial development. - Commercial Growth & Trade Boost
Easy logistics movement expected to enhance trade, benefiting sectors like retail, warehousing, and small manufacturing—translating to demand for commercial properties. - Cross-Border Buyer Flow
Improved access across state borders will attract Haryana-based buyers to Greater Noida, especially as Noida Airport development gains pace. - Peripheral Village Development
Villages near the connectivity corridor (like Jaganpur, Afzalpur, Murshadpur) may see first-time urbanization and property demand. - Synergy with Noida International Airport
Investors from Faridabad will now have a direct corridor to the airport zone—raising the investment profile of land parcels in eastern Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway belt.
Investor Opportunities & Suggestions
1. Target Hotspots Near Connectivity Points
- Focus on Atta Gujran, Jaganpur (Greater Noida side) and Manjhawali, Neharpar (Greater Faridabad side).
- These areas will be the first to benefit from price movement once the road becomes functional.
2. Residential + Commercial Play
- Residential: Demand from professionals commuting between Faridabad and Noida.
- Commercial: Small-scale warehousing, roadside retail, fuel stations, and eateries along the corridor.
3. Land Investment Opportunity
- Ongoing land transactions at ₹3720/sq.m compensation price indicate a floor for current rates.
- Land banking near the road can offer high ROI post-2025, especially once full traffic flow begins.
4. Track Project Milestones
- Monitor PWD updates on land registry and road construction.
- Completion of 4 km road segment will be the real inflection point for value surge.
5. Capitalize on Noida Airport Spillover
- Investors in Faridabad can look at airport-aligned projects in sectors closer to Yamuna Expressway, now accessible in ~30 mins.
The Faridabad-Greater Noida Road Project is more than a transport upgrade—it’s a catalyst for cross-regional growth. Real estate investors willing to act before the crowd, with a 12–24 month horizon, stand to gain from capital appreciation, better rental yields, and emerging urban demand in areas that have long remained underdeveloped due to poor access.
