Factors for Growth in the Past
Development of important roads like Sohna-Gurgaon Road and Netaji Subash Marg was one of the prime factors that paved the way for major developments in Sector-48. Also, the region’s proximity to bus stops and railway stations caused its real estate market to flourish.
Land availability was another factor that caught the attention of reputed builders like Victory Projects, Sweta Estates Pvt Ltd, Vipul Limited, and Bestech India Pvt Ltd, who set up several residential projects in the area. The establishment of educational institutions, hospitals, and malls followed, and improved the realty market here.

Major Challenges

Inadequate provision of basic amenities like water and electricity is another problem that needs immediate addressing. The locality is subjected to frequent power cuts and water shortages, adding to the woes of the residents.
Factors for Growth in the Future
The construction of DLF-HUDA Expressway will make travelling within Gurgaon a lot easier. A corridor in Sector 25 stretching up to Sectors 55 and 56 is going to be implemented soon, so as to reduce traffic congestion to a large extent. These measures to curb traffic and improve connectivity will work in the locality’s favour, and prompt growth of the realty market in Sector-48.
The residential market is already booming with projects like Vipul Greens, Bestech Park View City I, and BPL Apartments up and running. The completion of various other multi-storey buildings and large-scale projects like VG 48 and Central Park-II will definitely play a vital role in accelerating real estate growth and making Sector-48 an attractive locality to buy property.
