Trans-Haryana Expressway - NH-152D

NH-152D route map and towns on the route

Searches for the 152D highway route map want three things: where the road runs, which towns it serves and where you can get on and off. From north to south, the main interchanges and the roads they connect are:

Towns that appear in searches, such as Pehowa, Kaul, Pundri, Julana, Kalanaur, Charkhi Dadri, Kanina and Narnaul, are reached through these interchanges rather than from the carriageway. Two-wheelers, three-wheelers, tractors and other slow vehicles are not allowed on the expressway. View the full alignment and interchange points on the 1acre map layer, and measure a plot's road distance to the nearest interchange, not its straight-line distance to the highway.

NH-152D length, start and end points and distance

NH-152D is 227 km long. It starts at Gangheri village near Ismailabad in Kurukshetra district, on NH-152, and ends on the Narnaul bypass (NH-148B) in Mahendragarh district, near the Haryana-Rajasthan border. NHAI built it under Bharatmala Pariyojana in eight packages. The foundation stone was laid on 14 July 2020, when the project cost was put at Rs 8,650 crore, and the road opened to traffic in August 2022.

On distance, the corridor cuts the Ambala to Kotputli trip by about 50 km. In Kaithal district alone, the highway runs for about 35 km in two packages, from Salimpur Mehdood to Kaul and from Kaul to Mandwal. To work out the 152D highway distance from a plot, measure to the nearest interchange in the route table above, because there is no access in between. The two main toll plazas mean a trip along the full length is tolled, so local buyers who need the road for daily trips should price that in.

The 152D expressway Rohtak stretch and the Narnaul bypass

The 152D expressway Rohtak stretch is the middle of the route, built as Package 5 (Julana to Kharkara, 23 km) and Package 6 (Kharkara to Charkhi Dadri, 34 km). It has three connections that matter for Rohtak: NH-352 at Kila Zafargarh, south of Julana, which runs via Lakhan Majra to Rohtak; NH-9 near Kharkara; and NH-709 at Kalanaur on the Bhiwani to Rohtak road. Rohtak city is not on the expressway, so land near Kalanaur or Lakhan Majra reaches Rohtak by these roads. Plots here can fall under Rohtak's urban development plan as well as the controlled area, so check both before buying. At the southern end, NH-152D joins the Narnaul bypass on NH-148B. A separate project, a 40.8 km six-lane Narnaul bypass on NH-148B and NH-11, together with the Narnaul to Ateli Mandi section of NH-11, had its foundation stone laid in July 2020 at a cost of Rs 1,380 crore. From the bypass, NH-148B continues about 45 km south to Kotputli on NH-48, completing the Ambala-Kotputli corridor, and the planned 86.5 km Paniyala to Barodameo link would join this end to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. Searches for a Narnaul bypass road map are usually about land beside this stretch. Check the bypass alignment and its service roads on the NHAI project plan before buying land next to it, because access-controlled sections give no direct entry.

Regulatory Red Flags Specific to NH-152D Land Buyers

Three failures sink most plot deals along this corridor. The first is the Haryana DTCP CLU Haryana licence requirement. Under the Punjab Scheduled Roads and Controlled Areas Restriction of Unregulated Development Act 1963, no use of agricultural land for residential, commercial, industrial or institutional purpose is permitted in a controlled area without explicit Change of Land Use (CLU) approval from the Director, DTCP, Haryana, through the concerned DTP. There is no restriction on buying agricultural land itself, but converting it to non-farm use is not a matter of right. It is conditional on qualifying parameters set by the state. A registered sale deed on agricultural land near an interchange is not a building permission. The second trap is the HDRUA Act 1975 colonizer licence. The Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act 1975 requires anyone developing a residential or commercial colony to obtain a licence from DTCP. The colonizer must pay Infrastructure Development Charges, External Development Charges and submit an indemnity bond. Plots advertised in "new colonies" along the Trans-Haryana belt are routinely sold without a colonizer licence. DTCP has issued repeated demolition notices and conducted enforcement drives in Sohna, Bhondsi, Rithoj, Pataudi, Farrukhnagar and Sultanpur belts in 2022 and 2023, with letters to the registrar's office not to execute sale deeds in identified illegal colonies and FIR recommendations against developers. The October 2023 regularisation of 21 colonies across approximately 186 acres in Gurgaon, Manesar, Sohna, Pataudi and Farrukhnagar created an online NOC route, but only for those specific colonies. Other unauthorised plottings remain demolition-eligible. The third trap is the access-control reality. NH-152D is fully access-controlled with only 16 interchanges across 227 km. Plots advertised as "expressway-facing" do not connect directly to it. Service road provision is partial. A plot's value depends on its distance from a notified interchange, not its visual proximity to the carriageway. Verify the nearest authorised interchange before paying. Use this screen before you transfer any earnest money on a plot in this belt.

The minimum legal stack on this corridor is a registered sale deed, the CLU order, the colonizer licence number (where a layout is involved), the EDC and IDC paid receipts, and a Haryana RERA registration for any plotted development of eight units or more. Anything less is a leap of faith.

Growth Corridors and Micro-Markets on the NH-152D Belt

Not every kilometre of the Trans-Haryana belt carries the same upside. The investable belts share three traits: location within 5 to 10 km of one of the 16 authorised interchanges, CLU plus colonizer licence in the underlying layout, and proximity to an industrial anchor (HSIIDC, Saha Growth Centre, Manesar spillover, or Narnaul industrial estate). Speculative pockets sit on unconverted agricultural land beyond 10 km from interchanges. High-risk pockets sit on unauthorised colony plottings of the type DTCP is actively demolishing. The table below maps the major Kaul Pundri Charkhi Dadri belt and the Ambala Kotputli Economic Corridor pockets to drivers and risks.

The most misunderstood corridor on this belt is the Paniyala-Narnaul stretch. Buyers see the upcoming Paniyala-Barodameo link to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, the proximity to Kotputli on NH-48 and the planned aerocity catchment near Bhiwadi airport, and assume the upside is locked in. They miss that several agricultural parcels in this catchment are being marketed as "approved plots" without CLU, that the Paniyala-Barodameo link tendering completed in late 2022 with a two-year construction timeline that has since shifted, and that timing of value capture depends on the link's commissioning, not the announcement. The second misunderstood pocket is the Saha Growth Centre Ambala area. The state has announced plans to acquire 2,300 acres to expand the centre and widen the Ambala-Saha Road for easier NH-152D access. Speculative plottings in adjoining villages without colonizer licences are demolition-eligible until layouts are sanctioned. Industrial allotments via HSIIDC are the lower-risk route here.
