Which villages are affected by land acquisition for the Faridabad-Jewar Expressway?

In Haryana: Sahupura, Sotai, Chandawali, Bahbalpur, Fafunda, Panhera Khurd, Mahmudpur, Hirapur, Chhainsa, Mohna, Mohiyapur, Begumpur, and Jhumpa. In Uttar Pradesh: Vallabhnagar, Dayanatpur, Lena Bangar, Karoli Bangar, and Faleda Bangar.

Why does the expressway include an 11 km elevated section?

The elevated section reduces at-grade land acquisition requirements and allows the expressway to pass over intersecting local roads and rail lines without compromising access control.

When is the Faridabad-Jewar Expressway expected to be completed?

NHAI's current target is April 2027, though some sections are expected to become operational earlier in 2026, following the missed original June 2025 completion target.

Has the project already missed a completion deadline?

Yes. The original June 2025 completion target was not met, and as of March 2026 only around 1,200 of the required 3,000 piles had been completed.

How much of the expressway falls in Haryana versus Uttar Pradesh?

Approximately 22-24 km falls in Faridabad and Palwal districts in Haryana, with the remaining 7-9 km in Gautam Budh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh.

Which Faridabad sectors are considered best positioned for pre-construction appreciation?

Sectors 65, 75, 84, 88, and 89 are cited as directly on or near the expressway route and best positioned for pre-construction land value appreciation.

What is the total cost of the project and who is funding the elevated section?

The original project cost was Rs 2,414.67 crore. The added elevated corridor costs Rs 689.24 crore, of which the Haryana government agreed to fund Rs 450 crore given the economic benefit to Faridabad and South Haryana.

Where does the expressway start and end?

It starts at Sector 65 in Ballabhgarh, Faridabad, Haryana, and ends near Dayanatpur village at Noida International Airport (Jewar Airport) in Gautam Budh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh.

Road

Faridabad- Jewar Expressway

Overview

Faridabad Jewar Expressway land acquisition covers a 31 km, six-lane (expandable to eight) access-controlled corridor connecting Sector 65 in Ballabhgarh, Faridabad, to Dayanatpur village near Noida International Airport in Jewar, Uttar Pradesh. Faridabad-Jewar Expressway is a live project on 1acre.

NHAI awarded the tender to Apco Infratech Pvt. Ltd. in July 2022 under the Hybrid Annuity Model at an original cost of Rs 2,414.67 crore, later expanded with an 11 km elevated section. This page covers exactly which villages are affected, the project's slipped timeline, and where growth is concentrating along the route.

Village-Level Acquisition Zone and a Missed Deadline

NHAI's land acquisition for this corridor covers 18 villages split across two states: 14 in Faridabad and Palwal districts in Haryana, and four in Gautam Budh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh. The affected villages in Haryana include Sahupura, Sotai, Chandawali, Bahbalpur, Fafunda, Panhera Khurd, Mahmudpur, Hirapur, Chhainsa, Mohna, and Mohiyapur in Faridabad, along with Begumpur and Jhumpa in Palwal. In Uttar Pradesh, the affected villages are Vallabhnagar, Dayanatpur, Lena Bangar, Karoli Bangar, and Faleda Bangar.

Buyers should treat the project's timeline with caution given its track record. The original completion target of June 2025 was not met. As of March 2026, only about 1,200 of the required 3,000 piles had been completed, with girder casting for the superstructure just beginning. NHAI's current target is April 2027, though officials indicate some sections may become operational earlier in 2026. The elevated section was added specifically to reduce at-grade land acquisition requirements and allow the expressway to cross local roads and rail lines without disrupting access control, which itself signals how acquisition complexity shaped the project's design. Before assuming any nearby land benefits from a near-term opening, check the current pile-driving and girder progress against NHAI's own published milestones rather than the original 2025 target.

Where Growth Is Concentrating Along the Corridor

The expressway connects Faridabad's industrial and residential sectors directly to the aviation and logistics hub forming around Noida International Airport, with four interchange points: the starting point at Sahupura/Sector 65 on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway link, Hirapur-Chhainsa in Faridabad, and two points on the Yamuna Expressway in Uttar Pradesh.

Where Growth Is Concentrating Along the Corridor

**Location**

**Growth Driver**

**Known Risk**

Faridabad Sectors 65, 75, 84, 88, 89

Directly on or near the expressway route

Current pricing already reflects some pre-construction anticipation

Hirapur-Chhainsa interchange

Direct entry/exit point on the corridor

Interchange-adjacent land typically sees earliest commercial interest

Ballabhgarh and Palwal villages (acquisition zone)

Corridor passes directly through these 14 villages

Land inside the notified acquisition footprint faces compensation, not resale appreciation

UP-side villages (Dayanatpur, Vallabhnagar)

Direct proximity to Noida International Airport

Airport-linked demand already a factor independent of this specific expressway

Market commentary cites current pricing around Rs 25,000-45,000 per square metre for plots and Rs 4,000-6,000 per square foot for apartments in the Faridabad sectors directly on the route, with institutional developers reportedly acquiring bulk land banks in anticipation. A separately planned 37 km Noida Metro extension linking Knowledge Park V to Jewar could compound this effect, though that project's own timeline depends on independent funding and approvals. Given the expressway's own repeated schedule slippage, from June 2025 to April 2027 and counting, treat any "opens next year" framing from a broker with the same caution warranted for the project's construction milestones themselves.
