Investors are shifting their bets in Sonipat

Mumbai, Aug 03

Sonipat seems to be breaking that rule. Earlier this year, in March 2025, the Delhi Metro’s Yellow Line extension got the official nod—far faster than most people expected.

By 2028, Sonipat will be directly connected to Connaught Place via Metro in just 45 minutes. And there’s more. The long-awaited Urban Extension Road-II is set to wrap up by June 2025, meaning Sonipat residents could soon be reaching IGI Airport in 45 minutes—sometimes faster than folks living in South Delhi.

Land prices in Kundli, Sonipat’s fast-growing industrial hub, have surged 190% since 2020. Plots that once hosted wheat fields are now selling for ₹61,000 per square yard, with demand coming from warehouses, factories, and new housing projects popping up to support the workforce.

In fact, of the 38 major land deals tracked across NCR in 2024 by ANAROCK, a huge chunk happened right in Sonipat’s growth corridor. And it’s not just industrial. The India Brand Equity Foundation reports that NCR’s luxury housing market grew by 85% last year, with a lot of that growth happening in emerging areas like Sonipat—places that offer more space and better quality of life for the money.

Talking to Bizz Buzz, Rohit Kishore, CEO, Hero Realty says, “Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities are increasingly attractive to real estate developers due to rising housing demand and investor interest. Improved infrastructure, like better roads and expanding metro networks, makes these areas more appealing. In Sonipat, demand for plotted developments is rising as buyers want larger, customizable living spaces.”

Its closeness to Delhi NCR and upcoming infrastructure projects strengthens its market position. With ongoing upgrades and growing demand, Sonipat is set to become a key hub for custom-built homes, drawing interest from both investors and buyers.

Abhay Kumar Mishra, President & CEO, Jindal Realty says, “At Jindal Realty, we've always seen Sonipat as a city with immense promise. With major infrastructure projects like the RRTS, UER-II, and the upcoming Delhi Metro extension, the region is on the cusp of a connectivity revolution.”

These developments will drastically reduce travel times to Delhi, IGI Airport, and central business hubs—making Sonipat more attractive for both homebuyers and industries. As accessibility improves, so will demand, driving long-term growth and appreciation.

Yashank Wason, MD of Royal Green Realty, says, “People want affordability and breathing space now. Sonipat offers both.”

And with the upcoming Rapid Rail Transit System, even the most cautious buyers won’t have to worry about connectivity much longer.
