The proposal also includes acquiring commercial land to help finance the road project, while improving access to residential communities and supporting the development of essential civic infrastructure in growing sectors.
The Haryana government is planning to acquire around 1,150 acres of land to build the missing 24-metre-wide internal sector roads in Gurugram. The proposed roads will improve connectivity across Sectors 58 to 115, where many residential societies still depend on narrow village roads for access.
The proposal has been prepared by the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP) and will be submitted to the state government for approval.
According to officials, Anurag Agarwal, Additional Chief Secretary (ACS), DTCP, has directed the department to prepare and submit the proposal as a priority. He also asked officials to include commercial land along the proposed roads to make the project financially sustainable.
The directions were issued during a review meeting held on May 21 to assess the progress of state budget announcements.
Officials said the department has already identified and mapped the land required for the missing roads. Since acquiring land will involve a large investment, the government is exploring a plan to acquire additional commercial land along the road network.
The commercial plots could later be auctioned, and the revenue generated may help recover the land acquisition cost.
A senior DTCP official said the proposal will soon be discussed in a separate meeting before being sent for approval.
During this year's Haryana Budget, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini announced that the government would acquire land to complete the missing road network in Gurugram's developing sectors.
Officials said nearly 1,150 acres of unlicensed land will be acquired under the proposal. Once approved, the project is expected to improve road infrastructure and support future urban development.
According to the meeting records, the DTCP has suggested that the Haryana Shehri Vikas Pradhikaran (HSVP) should initially acquire the required land.
The acquisition cost may later be reimbursed through External Development Charges (EDC). The proposal also recommends acquiring commercial land along these roads so that future sales can help recover the investment.
Under the Gurgaon-Manesar Master Plan 2031, private developers were responsible for constructing 24-metre-wide internal sector roads within their licensed areas.
However, many of these roads could not be completed because of legal disputes and the non-availability of land. As a result, several residential projects still lack proper road access.
The missing road network has remained a major concern for residents in Gurugram's developing sectors. In October last year, residents approached the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking directions for the construction of these roads.
Sunil Sareen, Deputy Convenor of the Dwarka Expressway Gurugram Development Association, said several housing societies continue to face connectivity problems due to the absence of proper roads.
He said missing roads have also delayed the laying of basic utilities in some areas. In addition, several land parcels cannot receive development licences because proper road access is still unavailable.
If approved, the project will improve road connectivity across several parts of Gurugram. Better road access is expected to benefit residents, support infrastructure development, and make it easier for future residential and commercial projects to move forward.
