As the city emerges as a sought-after destination for modern commercial buildings and prolific neighborhoods, it has witnessed noteworthy infrastructural developments, leading to a remarkable boom in the real estate market. The much-anticipated inauguration of Dwarka Expressway proves to be the lifeline behind this development, leading to a surge in the market.
