How much did the Haryana and Delhi sections of the Dwarka Expressway cost?
National Highway 248-BB is the 29 km Dwarka Expressway (Northern Peripheral Road) between Shiv Murti on NH 48 in Delhi and Kherki Daula in Gurugram, India's first elevated eight-lane access-controlled urban expressway, with 10.1 km in Delhi and 18.9 km in Haryana and a 3.5 to 3.6 km tunnel under the Delhi airport runway. Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Haryana section on 11 March 2024, built at around INR 4,100 crore, and the Delhi section was built at around INR 5,360 crore, so the sections sum to about INR 9,460 crore, within the INR 9,000 to 10,000 crore range of a research profile, against the INR 7,500 crore planned from 2006 per Wikipedia.
