DLF to build flyover and four underpasses between Ambience Mall and Cyber City

DLF has been awarded a contract worth ₹325 crore to build a flyover and four underpasses between Ambience Mall and Cyber City in Gurugram, according to reports first published on 6 November 2026. The works are meant to ease congestion on a stretch of the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway that is among the busiest at morning and evening peaks. The contractor has not been named in the reports, and the date of the award has not been given.

What is being built

The flyover will run from the Ambience Mall end of the expressway to Cyber City, on the Delhi-to-Jaipur side and above the service road, parallel to the existing highway flyover. An underpass will link Moulsari Avenue with the Delhi-bound carriageway. Three more underpasses will connect DLF developments with Moulsari Avenue. Motorists using the U-turn underpass near Ambience Mall will be able to reach Cyber City and Iffco Chowk by the new flyover.

The structures have been described differently. NHAI's approval refers to a three-lane flyover and a three-lane underpass. Other reports describe a 1.3-km, six-lane flyover and a 600-metre underpass. This article follows the NHAI description, which is the approved one.

• Haryana government: approved the proposal. The date of that approval is not given in the reports.
• NHAI: granted in-principle approval to DLF on 1 October 2026, as reported.
• Traffic management plan: expected within about a month of the November reports. It must be approved by traffic police and local authorities before work starts.
• Construction: 18 months from start. The start date has not been stated.

Conditions and the cost question

NHAI has placed several conditions on the project. DLF bears full financial and execution responsibility and must deposit all prescribed charges, including fees and performance-related bank guarantees. Before construction, a competent agency must submit engineering drawings, design calculations, traffic studies, structural designs, drainage arrangements and road-safety measures. A traffic plan approved by the traffic department is needed before each construction stage. Any reduction in the service road's lanes during work must be offset by equal carriageway width at grade on both sides, so the corridor's overall capacity is kept intact.

The cost figures do not agree. A DLF company official put DLF's spend on the two structures at ₹130 crore to ₹140 crore, and regional coverage put the two structures at the same range with DLF bearing the entire cost. Other reports cite about ₹300 crore for the combined project. The ₹325 crore contract value is different from both. None of the sources explains the difference, and readers should treat the figures as unreconciled.

The case for the work rests on traffic. A DLF-commissioned study from August 2025 recorded 52,700 passenger car units an hour on the Delhi stretch, above its design capacity. It recorded 20,800 units an hour at the Moulsari Avenue junction and recommended grade-separated infrastructure.

Who gains, and what buyers should note

The main gain is a direct route between Ambience Mall and Cyber City, which separates local traffic from traffic moving towards Gurugram and Jaipur. Sirhaul Border, Shankar Chowk, Moulsari Avenue, Iffco Chowk and Cyber City are the localities on this corridor. One analysis says the flyover may improve the accessibility of DLF's commercial offices over the long term. That is an analyst's view, not an official finding. No report links the project to home prices or purchase terms.

Rapid Metro already connects Cyber City to the Delhi Metro network at Sikanderpur. The Gurugram Metro Phase 2 stretch from Sector 9 to Cyber City was still in tendering as of 23 October 2026, and reports disagree on whether the main civil contract has been floated. Separately, a Haryana committee approved three Gurugram road projects worth ₹136.41 crore on 3 November 2026. These are to be built by the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority, not DLF.

What happens next

The next step is the traffic management plan, which must be approved by traffic police and local authorities before any work begins. Pre-construction filings with NHAI come before that. Reports say DLF plans to build the flyover first and the underpasses after. Officials have also spoken of about one year of work after award, which does not match the 18-month figure. Buyers and investors should watch for the approved traffic plan and a stated start date.
