In a significant push towards improving urban mobility in South Delhi, the Public Works Department (PWD) has announced that work on the highly anticipated Vasant Kunj tunnel is likely to commence in 2026. This ambitious Delhi infrastructure project aims to provide a direct tunnel link between Nelson Mandela Marg and Aruna Asaf Ali Marg, significantly easing traffic congestion in the Vasant Kunj and Vasant Vihar areas.

The Delhi government’s infrastructure upgrade plan includes a 1.2 km long tunnel, which will start near the Vasant Kunj Police Station and emerge at Aruna Asaf Ali Marg. The tunnel will be integrated with two underpasses and an elevated U-turn, making it one of the most strategically planned connectivity projects in South Delhi.

Vasant Kunj Tunnel Project Announced

Enhanced Connectivity to IGI Airport

A major highlight of this tunnel is its potential to drastically reduce travel time to the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport. Currently, commuters from Vasant Kunj face major bottlenecks at intersections and roundabouts. Once completed, the tunnel will ensure seamless movement, especially during peak hours, benefiting both local residents and airport-bound travelers.

The Vasant Kunj tunnel project is expected to boost real estate prices in adjacent localities like Vasant Kunj, Vasant Vihar, Munirka, and Chattarpur, as improved infrastructure invariably enhances livability and buyer interest. According to experts, connectivity improvements have a direct impact on property demand, and with this development, South Delhi's property market is poised for upward momentum.

Once approvals are secured, the tendering process will begin, and construction is scheduled to start in 2026. The project is designed with minimal disruption to existing roads and greenery, making it an environmentally conscious urban solution.
