Gurugram, located in Haryana, India, has rapidly evolved into a key corporate and residential center over the past two decades, attracting multinational companies and a growing urban population. Despite this impressive growth, the city faces significant infrastructure challenges, such as traffic congestion and utility pressures, which threaten its long-term sustainability. The Delhi-NCR region recorded 15-16 million sq ft of office leasing in 2025, with Gurugram playing a crucial role, driven by technology firms and financial institutions. As the city expands beyond its traditional core areas, new development corridors like Dwarka Expressway and New Gurugram are gaining traction, reflecting a shift towards more integrated urban planning. Moving forward, Gurugram's growth will depend on prioritizing infrastructure-first planning, mixed-use developments, and improved livability standards to create a balanced and sustainable urban environment.
