Uttar​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Pradesh's Plan to Build 11 Expressways by 2029 - The Move That Changes the Entire Infrastructure Landscape of the Region

Introduction

ERM Global Investors, a leader in property investment and the infrastructure advisory area, is supporting a government plan that aims to build 11 new expressways in Uttar Pradesh by 2029. The company believes that such a series of developments would dramatically change the region's connectivity and lead to a large number of investment opportunities in the long term.

Reports based on an article by IndiaTVNews reveal that the Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) is the main force behind the construction of more than 1,500 km of new super-fast and access-controlled expressways. However, the goal of the new transport system is not only to reduce travel time but, in fact, to promote the growth of industrial corridors, stimulate the real estate sector, and deepen regional equity from western Uttar Pradesh all the way to Purvanchal.

Key Highlights & Impact

Massive Network Expansion

UPEIDA will be the agency responsible for the implementation of the 11 expressways, which will form a network of expressways in the state that will be about 500 km longer than the current one.

This will allow the strengthening of inter-state linkages (e.g., Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar), thus facilitating the transport of both goods and people.

Industrial & Economic Growth Catalyst
The new roads will reportedly be the core of the industrial corridors, where the establishment of the manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing sectors will be fostered.

It is calculated that by means of the connection of Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities to major transport arteries, the initiative will lead to regional economic growth and the creation of new jobs.

Strategic Land and Real Estate Advantage

Connectivity improvements will certainly increase the need for residential, commercial, and logistics land along these expressway corridors.

Such a huge infrastructure project, which is long-term in nature, is something that ERM Global Investors will be very interested in. The area that is to be developed offers a great opportunity for land bank purchases, joint development, and infrastructure-led ​‍​‌‍​‍‌growth.

Sustainable Development & Timeline

UPEIDA has reportedly charted out detailed project reports (DPRs), land acquisition plans, and construction timelines for all 11 corridors.

The completion by 2029 reflects a balanced but aggressive infrastructure timeline, which aligns well with multi-year investment horizons.

ERM​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Global Investors' Perspective

ERM Global Investors feels that the decision of the government to set up an expressway system is a great step, the quoted said. The 11 expressways seem to be more than just road networks that connect metropolitan areas; instead, they look like the lifelines that allow one of them to grow - the manufacturing hubs become accessible, the land becomes more valuable, and the city and village areas become more connected. This is exactly the infrastructure-driven momentum that we want to invest in and support with our presence.
ERM Global Investors think that:

Along these expressways, strategically acquiring lands could be the way of capturing value at the very beginning, before the total monetization.

The structure of public-private partnerships (PPP) or development joint ventures can be created in such a way that they can take advantage of UPEIDA's plans.

Considering the sustained commitment and the clear roadmap, one can even think of long-term infrastructure debt or equity allocations that correspond to this project.
