Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate two major National Highway projects worth nearly Rs 11,000 crore at around 12:30 PM in Delhi’s Rohini on Sunday, August 17, 2025. He will also address the public at the event, a notification from the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) stated.
The projects — the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway and the Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) — have been developed under the government’s comprehensive plan to decongest the capital, with the objective of greatly improving connectivity, cutting travel time, and reducing traffic in Delhi and its surrounding areas.
“These initiatives reflect Prime Minister Modi’s vision of creating world-class infrastructure that enhances ease of living and ensures seamless mobility,” said the PMO.
Dwarka Expressway (Delhi Section)
The Prime Minister will inaugurate the Delhi section of the Dwarka Expressway, a 10.1-kilometer stretch built at a cost of approximately Rs. 5,360 crore.
“The section will also provide Multi-modal connectivity to Yashobhoomi, DMRC Blue line and Orange line, upcoming Bijwasan railway station and Dwarka cluster Bus Depot,” informed the PMO.
This section comprises:
Package I: 5.9 km from Shiv Murti intersection to the Road Under Bridge (RUB) at Dwarka Sector-21.
Package II: 4.2 km from Dwarka Sector-21 RUB to the Delhi-Haryana Border, providing direct connectivity to Urban Extension Road-II.
The 19 km long Haryana section of the Dwarka Expressway was earlier inaugurated by the Prime Minister in March 2024.
Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II)
Prime Minister Modi will also inaugurate the Alipur to Dichaon Kalan stretch of Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) along with new links to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, built at a cost of around Rs 5,580 crore.
“It will ease traffic on Delhi’s Inner and Outer Ring Roads and busy points like Mukarba Chowk, Dhaula Kuan, and NH-09. The new spurs will give direct access to Bahadurgarh and Sonipat, improve industrial connectivity, cut city traffic, and speed up goods movement in the NCR,” the PMO stated.
