[QUOTE=rushilarora;340815]Gurgaon was never a future of Delhi 10 year back and 10 years hence it is not a future of Delhi any more. Gugaon has become self sustaining city already and dosen't need to be dependent of Delhi for it current and future needs.

So why has Gurgaon become what it is today and is attracting investors from around the world (corporate, NRI, The investors and end users)???? Only one thing explains this and that is "Availability of Job" and a prospect of good quality of living. Delhi could not give these things for the increasing bandwidth of the population. Gurgaon could give it and see what it is today. So one thing that drives the prospect of any location is and that has to be the High level of economic activity. Delhi definitely has all this but not enough to sustain the requirement of over 1cr residents. So if any one has to identify the future growth areas , just check all the boxes above with the possibility of having all the above and their proximity. Since land is always limited in terms of supply, as and when the nearest availability gets exhausted to the commercial centers ,the next one becomes viable. Difference between end user and investor is that investor moves first in future areas and end user moves at last. But today most of the end user has also become investor as there is no option left. Every one if given a chance would love to live in Golf course today but very few can afford. So u start moving out to the City Centre limit that is decided by your budget. [B][COLOR="Blue"]So when I look at Dwarka Expressway I just ask one question. Where would the population go for work when they will start residing there ? So all the 10x sectors may have proximity to Dwarka but does dwarka has enough jobs to make it easier for people to commute to Dwarka and come back? I dont know the answer and would like to know from fellow members.. If one has to come to Gurgaon side where most of the corporates are, then you need to come through Palam Vihar side and the road is already choked as on date. When all these projects come for possession, can this arterial road take the load of the traffic coming to Udyog Vihar ? I would like to know the answer.[/COLOR][/B] On NH-8 side, there is huge tract of land that needs to be developed in 8x and 9x sectors. Where would these people go for work. Either Manesar or Gurgaon. Distance to Cybercity from 8x sector is anywhere between 13-18 KM depending from where you measure. But only bright point is straight and smooth access to cyber city after u cross the toll. But does gurgaon has enough job to sustain the habitation of Dew and 8x and 9x sector... I dont have the answer and would want to know. SPR is nearest to any habitation belt in gurgaon right now and that is Sohna road. But the problem is most of the projects are by Unitech and no work is going on there. Only visible work going on there is in Tulip's multicolored projects. Access to Sohna road is blocked due to Ambedkar issue which shall get resolved in some time. But there is no project which has either got started in last one year neither there are any launches happening there any more. So as an investor/end user if I tick all the boxes above, SPR would be my choice to invest. But there is no new project available and all other available look too far away from completion. Gcx already very expensive and nothing to write home about. So in nutshell the reality of Reality in Gurgaon is a big "Blind Spot' right now. Every one is playing a blind bet.
