Land Along the KMP Expressway (Kundli-Manesar-Palwal) (2026)

The KMP Expressway at a glance

The Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway, also called the Western Peripheral Expressway, is a ring road on the western side of Delhi. The Prime Minister's Office page of 19 November 2018 says the Kundli-Manesar section, about 83 km, was inaugurated that day at Sultanpur, Gurugram, and that with the earlier first phase the full expressway is 135 km. The same page says the original estimate was Rs 1,200 crore, that delays pushed the cost up more than threefold, and that the project took about 12 years.

Because the road has been open since 2018, its effects are visible in land use: logistics yards, industrial areas and townships stand beside it. That means many farm parcels along it are already in a changed market. A buyer should assume nothing about a village without reading the plan for it.

What drives interest near the road, and what is only reported

Our research notes mention a Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) industrial model township at Kharkhoda, near the expressway, where a car maker is reported to be building a plant, and a Haryana Orbital Rail Corridor (about 121.7 km, reported target 31 March 2028) that crosses the region. These are press and encyclopaedia-level facts we have not verified on official pages. They explain buyer interest; they do not give any parcel a use or a price.

The Delhi-Amritsar-Katra Expressway starts at the KMP near Jasaur Kheri in Jhajjar, as reported, so that point is a junction of two long roads. See our Delhi-Amritsar-Katra guide. The KMP also meets the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway system in the south; see Delhi-Mumbai land impact and the Dwarka Expressway guide.

Rules that matter beside a Haryana expressway

The road lies in Haryana, where the Punjab Scheduled Roads and Controlled Areas Restriction of Unregulated Development Act, 1963 and the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Areas Act, 1975 shape what you can do. Our legal library reads them as follows. In the 1963 Act, section 3 bars building within thirty metres of the road reservation of a scheduled road, and notes 100 m for a bypass or expressway after a 2004 amendment; section 4 lets the Government declare controlled areas within 8 km of a town boundary; section 6 requires the Director's permission to build in a controlled area; and section 7 requires permission for a change in land use. In the 1975 Act, section 3 requires a licence to convert land into a colony, and section 7 bars transfer, advertisement or taking money for plots without one.

We have not verified whether the KMP is a scheduled road or bypass for purposes of the 100 m rule, nor whether any particular village is in a controlled area. Ask the Director, Town and Country Planning, Haryana. Our guides cover controlled area vs urbanisable area, CLU in Haryana and building near highways.

The Aravalli belt and gair mumkin pahar land in southern Haryana carry separate limits; see Aravalli and green belt restrictions and PLPA section 4.

Industrial areas, townships and agricultural pockets

Land near the road falls into broad types, each with a different buyer risk:

• HSIIDC industrial areas. The land is allotted by the corporation. A private person cannot sell it as farmland.
• Licensed colonies. Plots are legal only with a DTCP licence; ask for the number and verify it with TCP Haryana.
• Village land inside controlled areas. Building and use need permission; see CLU rules.
• Open agricultural land. Check the agricultural land rules, ceiling and farmer status. See agricultural land rules in Haryana and farmhouse rules in Haryana.
• Panchayat or shamlat land. Often cannot be sold privately; see gram sabha, nazul and bhoodan land.

How to check a specific parcel on the KMP corridor

1. Alignment. Match the village and khasra against the road edge; see KML guide. The road is built, so an alignment check is mostly about the strip already acquired and any service roads.
2. 3A/3D notice. Ask the highway authority for the notified survey numbers. If your parcel is in the acquired strip, it belongs to the authority. We could not confirm which agency holds the notifications for each section.
3. Interchange distance. We could not confirm an official interchange list. Ask for the approved layout and measure drive distance.
4. Master-plan zone. Look for a Development Plan or a controlled-area notification for the village on the TCP Haryana site; see how to read a master plan.
5. Floodplain and forest overlays. Check Aravalli and notified forest areas in the south and seasonal drains in the north. Ask the revenue office about flood history.
6. Records. Pull the jamabandi from Haryana's portal, the fard and mutation history (mutation guide), and an encumbrance search.

Red flags

• "Industrial" or "logistics" zone claims with no zoning document.
• Plots sold from farmland with no licence; see how to spot unapproved plotting.
• Claims that a rail corridor or interchange will be built beside the parcel without an approved plan.
• Any quote of a per-acre price or return that cites the road. We give none; check the current collector rate instead (circle rate vs market rate).

What we could not confirm

On an official page we could not confirm: the district list, lane count, toll, interchange list, which agency holds the acquisition notifications for each section, the Kharkhoda and rail corridor facts, and whether the 100 m rule applies to this road. The PMO page we opened covers the 2018 inauguration only. This page is a screening guide, not legal advice.
