New Gurgaon : With 58 New Sectors In The Offing, Gurgaon Gears Up To House Its Growing Numbers By ugesh sarkar, Section Gurgaon Real Estate ![]() Christened as the "millennium city", "cyber city" and so on, this cosmopolitan urban settlement located in the vicinity of the national capital has 57 residential, industrial and institutional sectors so far. However, these sectors have started proving insufficient for the increasing population of Gurgaon. In view of this, the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) and the state department of Town and Country Planning are now in the process of acquiring land for developing as many as 58 new sectors in the city. This is being done in accordance with the Gurgaon-Manesar Masterplan-2021, which has a provision for the development of as many as 115 sectors in the city. The plan also envisages a multi-utility corridor and a commercial belt to be developed in the upcoming sectors. In the first phase, the development of Sectors 58 to 67 is under way. Land has already been acquired for master roads and other essential services in these sectors and construction of roads is in full swing.

Land acquisition notification under Section 4 for these sectors has been completed and case for Section 6 proceedings has been referred to the state authorities. Similarly, acquisition proceedings under Section 4 are in process for Sectors 81 to 95 and 99 to 115 (Sectors 96, 97 and 98 are industrial sectors).
"Working on a strategic plan, we acquired the land required for the provision of essential services like the construction of master roads first so that work on these gets started right away...by the time we reach the final stages of acquiring land for residential plots and other services, the master roads and other essential utilities are ready, which streamlines the whole process," maintains HUDA Administrator Deepti Umashankar. The initial phase of the work is expected to be complete by the end of this financial year. The fresh spate of development will stretch the city towards Badshahpur and Sohna townships, which are located towards the south. As of now, 1,417 acres of land is being acquired from eight villages for the first-phase work on 10 sectors. While Sectors 58 to 63 will be primarily residential, Sectors 65, 66 and 67 will be developed as residential-cum-commercial sectors. The villages from which land is acquired in the first phase include Nangli Umarpur (177.69 acres), Midawas (335.61 acres), Badshapur (393.53 acres), Tigra (0.76 acres), Ullahwas (262.71 acres), Kadarpur (36.88 acres), Behrampur (72.09 acres) and Ghata (137.80 acres). Services like master roads, sector roads, sewerage system, power and water lines will be ensured in the areas under development before HUDA floats plots in residential as well as commercial zones. Property pundits and real-estate developers observe that the upcoming sectors will give the much-needed fillip to the property market, which is still in the process of recovering from the influence of economic slowdown. Gurgaon houses the offices as well as manufacturing and other facilities of many companies, industrial units and MNCs, many of which bore the brunt of the recession. Hence, the direct or indirect upshot of the slump was suffered by the local property market, which remained rather quiet for several months. Now, with the process of development of new sectors getting under way, it seems that things will start looking up. The commissioning of the Delhi-Gurgaon metro rail link, intra-city bus service and other initiatives of the government taken in view of the forthcoming Commonwealth Games are also expected to boost the sagging morale of the real estate sector in the city.
