[edit] Real Estate Development
Pataudi Road is now is in the vicinity of three major highways – National Highway 8 (India) and the upcoming Kundli–Manesar–Palwal Expressway and the proposed Dwarka Expressway.[7] Industrial Model Township (IMT) Manesar is just four kilometers from Pataudi Road.Several residential units coming up on the Pataudi Road, the logistics park, Special Economic Zones (SEZs) by Reliance,Raheja Engineering SEZ[8] and a commercial sector. Adding to this are the government's plans to upgrade infrastructure facilities along the belt.As per the new GurgaonManesar Master Plan 2021, the availability of land for development has opened up huge possibilities, mainly in the new sectors along Pataudi Road, slated to emerge as a growth corridor in the near future. A draft development plan for Pataudi town, too, is being prepared.It is expected to have about 4-5 sectors.[9]
Pataudi Road is proposed to be widened to 135 meters.The sectors roads too would be atleat 60 meters wide.[8]
Some of the major developers and Logistics Parks building on this road are DLF,Ansal,[10] Tulip Infratech,ILD Spire Greens,South Asian Real Estate (SARE) group,Adani Logistics Ltd,Sidhartha Group,[11] DRS Logistic, Indo Arya, etc.[9]
[edit] Northern Peripheral Road
Northern Peripheral Road road is being developed under the public private partnership (PPP) model. This stretch will connect Dwarka with National Highway 8 at Kherki Dhaula and will pass Pataudi Road. The NPR stretch has been planned as an alternate link road between Delhi and Gurgaon, and is expected to ease the traffic situation on the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway. The road will also provide connectivity to the much-touted Reliance-HSIIDC SEZ besides the Garhi Harsaru dry depot.[12]
Much like Delhi, Gurgaon too will have a BRT corridor to decongest traffic on the Northern Peripheral Road .In several sections, the NPR will have provisions for the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor to ensure smooth flow of traffic.The road will be fully developed in march 2012.[13]
[edit] Poor infrastructure
Connectivity to Pataudi road is extremely in bad shape.Also, one cannot take a right turn from the Hero Honda Chowk, as the highway does not have a cut over here. So to reach Pataudi road, commuters has to go straight for another two kilometers till Kherki Dola toll tax collection point and then take a U-turn to come back to Hero Honda Chowk.[14] The road connecting Pataudi from Gurgaon is one of the worst roads in Gurgaon District.This twelve kilometer Narrow road is flooded by pathholes ,unwanted speed brakers and filled with rainwater is dangerous to drive.[14] Despite big developers and SEZ flooding Pataudi road connectivity is decade away.[15]
