Question 1

Is the Eastern Peripheral Expressway fully operational and what are the exits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The NE-2 Kundli Ghaziabad Palwal corridor opened on 27 May 2018. Exits are at the Kundli and Palwal ends and at Baghpat (Mawikalan), Duhai, Dasna, Dadri (Beel Akbarpur), Sirsa on the Kasna-Sikandra road and the Atali-Chainsa road on the Faridabad side. A Yamuna Expressway interchange near Jaganpur-Afzalpur is being built. The expressway is operated under a Toll-Operate-Transfer concession by NCR Eastern Peripheral Expressway Private Limited since 2022.

Question 2

Will the Yamuna Expressway interchange Jaganpur connection to EPE happen?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Yamuna Authority identified approximately 77 hectares (around 190 acres) for the interchange near Jaganpur-Afzalpur village in Gautam Buddha Nagar district. Once operational, it will provide direct EPE access to the Yamuna Expressway and Jewar Noida International Airport corridor, dramatically shifting catchment value east of Greater Noida. As of October 2026, the latest update, in August 2026, put the cloverleaf interchange at about 75% complete, with public opening targeted for 15 October 2026.

Question 3

How can I check if a plot near EPE is on abadi or agricultural land?

Accepted Answer

For UP plots, demand the Section 143 conversion order under the UP Zamindari Abolition and Land Reforms Act. Cross-check the Khasra and Gata number on the Bhulekh UP portal. For Haryana plots, demand the CLU order and HSVP or DTCP licence number. Absence of either is a refusal signal.

Question 4

Are GNIDA YEIDA HSVP allotment plots safer than private layouts near EPE?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GNIDA YEIDA HSVP allotment plots come with sanctioned layouts, infrastructure obligations and clear title chains. Private layouts on revenue land require Section 143 conversion plus layout sanction, which most do not have. Allotted plots cost more but carry lower title and demolition risk.

Question 5

How have property prices changed near the EPE since 2018?

Accepted Answer

Property prices in Greater Noida Dasna interchange catchments, Baghpat Kundli Sonipat plot belts and Faridabad spillovers have appreciated meaningfully since the 2018 inauguration. Apartment rates along the Noida-Greater Noida axis have reportedly risen around 146 percent over a 10-year window. Appreciation is uneven and concentrated near authorised interchanges.

Question 6

What is the difference between EPE, KGP and the Western Peripheral Expressway?

Accepted Answer

EPE and KGP Expressway are the same road. NE-2 connects Kundli to Palwal via Ghaziabad. The Western Peripheral Expressway (also called KMP) is the parallel road running Kundli-Manesar-Palwal on Delhi's western flank. Together they form the largest ring road around Delhi.

Question 7

Can I buy agricultural land near EPE and build on it?

Accepted Answer

Not without conversion. UP plots require Section 143 conversion plus GDA, GNIDA or YEIDA sanction depending on jurisdiction. Haryana plots require CLU plus DTCP licence. A registered sale deed alone does not authorise construction or qualify the plot for a building plan or home loan.

Question 8

Will the Jewar Noida International Airport corridor extend EPE land values further?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The interchange being built near Jaganpur-Afzalpur will connect EPE with the Yamuna Expressway, which is the primary access spine for Noida International Airport at Jewar. YEIDA sector allotments along the corridor are the lowest-risk entry point for airport-led appreciation.

Question 9

Where is the Sirsa cut on the Eastern Peripheral Expressway?

Accepted Answer

The Sirsa cut is the EPE exit near Sirsa village in Greater Noida, where the expressway crosses the Kasna-Sikandra road. It lies between the Dadri exit at Beel Akbarpur and the second Yamuna crossing at Faizupur Khadar. Traffic for Kasna, Pari Chowk and, for now, the Yamuna Expressway leaves here and continues on local roads.

Question 10

What is the Eastern Peripheral Expressway route?

Accepted Answer

The EPE runs 135 km from Kundli on NH-44, north of Delhi, through Baghpat, Ghaziabad and Greater Noida to Palwal on NH-19, south of Faridabad. It crosses the Yamuna twice. In order, its main exits are Kundli, Mawikalan near Baghpat, Duhai, Dasna, Beel Akbarpur near Dadri, Sirsa, the Atali-Chainsa road and Palwal.

Question 11

How do I reach Faridabad via the Eastern Peripheral Expressway?

Accepted Answer

From Ghaziabad or Greater Noida, stay on the EPE heading south past Sirsa and the Yamuna crossing at Faizupur Khadar, and leave at the Atali-Chainsa road exit on the Faridabad side, or continue to the Palwal end. The expressway was built to give signal-free connectivity between Ghaziabad and Faridabad, with its last two packages running GB Nagar to Faridabad and Faridabad to Palwal.

Question 12

Can I reach Sonipat via the Eastern Peripheral Expressway?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The EPE's northern end is at Kundli on NH-44, on the Sonipat side of the Delhi border, and its first package was built as the Sonepat-Baghpat stretch. From Ghaziabad or Baghpat, head north on the EPE to the Kundli end and join NH-44 towards Sonipat.

Question 13

When was the Eastern Peripheral Expressway built?

Accepted Answer

The EPE was built in about 500 days against a scheduled 910 days and was inaugurated by the Prime Minister at Baghpat on 27 May 2018. It was built in six packages by different contractors, with about 1,700 hectares of land acquired. The government's release at opening put construction cost at about ₹4,617.87 crore and land cost at about ₹5,900 crore.

Question 14

How is toll charged on the EPE?

Accepted Answer

The EPE uses a closed tolling system: you collect an entry record when you join and pay at your exit only for the distance you travelled, not the full 135 km. Toll plazas use electronic toll collection; at opening, The Tribune reported an 18-lane toll plaza on the Rai-Baghpat stretch. Check current rates with the operator before travel, as they are revised over time.
