NH-44, Panipat

NH-44 is the Grand Trunk Road spine running through Panipat, historically known as India's Textile City. A 70 km Delhi-Panipat section of this highway has been upgraded to an 8-lane elevated expressway completed at a cost of ₹2,178.82 crore, cutting travel time between Panipat and the capital sharply. Sectors 36 and 37, flanking this stretch, have become the preferred address for new-age townships as the city's real estate base shifts from the congested older core toward the highway frontage.

The corridor's appeal rests on a mix of industrial employment, improving road infrastructure, and rising organized housing supply. Schools, colleges, malls, retail hubs, hospitals and industrial clusters have grown alongside Panipat's textile industry, strengthening demand for premium residential projects. Large-format developers have taken note: M3M's City of Dreams occupies a 337-acre parcel in Sector 36 & 37, right off this highway.

This location offers a calm residential environment with good connectivity, open surroundings and strong future development potential. Civic authorities are also actively working on the corridor — the district administration has decided to make a model road by decongesting NH-44 and covering it with a high-resolution CCTV surveillance system, while NHAI has completed formalities for widening NH-44 in Panipat to decongest traffic and improve resident facilities.

Pricing on the corridor remains accessible relative to NCR benchmarks. Most properties in Panipat now range between ₹5,800–6,200 per sq ft as of 2026, with new highways, industrial zones and township projects boosting demand. For end-users and investors alike, the NH-44 stretch offers plotted development, low-rise floors and upcoming apartment formats within a single, well-planned micro-market.
