Currently, the journey between Delhi and Ajmer is done either by taking the risky route to Jaipur filled with city traffic or by taking a long, circuitous journey that takes about six to seven hours. This situation will soon be transformed with the construction of a greenfield expressway from Beawar to Bharatpur designed to solve this issue, and the journey will be completed in just about five hours.
This is no small announcement made to look larger than life. It is one among the nine greenfield expressways that were promised by Rajasthan in their budget of 2024 as part of their Vision 2047 plan. Also, unlike most of the infrastructure development promises that remain mere papers for many years, this one already has DPR approval and surveys underway.
Why Bharatpur Is the Key Piece Here?
Here's the part people miss when they just read the headline. Bharatpur is already fairly well connected to Delhi; it sits close to the NH19/Golden Quadrilateral corridor, so getting from Delhi to Bharatpur isn't really the bottleneck. The bottleneck has always been the stretch after that, going from Bharatpur through to Beawar (which sits right next to Ajmer), because that route currently forces you through congested stretches near Jaipur city.
The new expressway skips all of that. It's a straight greenfield corridor, meaning it's built fresh, not just an upgrade of an existing road, running from NH-58 in Beawar to NH-21 in Bharatpur. So instead of Delhi to Ajmer being "Delhi, then Jaipur traffic, then Ajmer," it becomes "Delhi, then a fast new expressway straight to Beawar-Ajmer." That's where the time savings actually come from and why Delhi to Siliguri in 6 hours is part of the broader connectivity conversation around new expressway projects.
The Project, In Numbers
| Detail | Figure |
|---|---|
| Total length | 342 km |
| Estimated cost | ₹14,010 crore |
| Land to be acquired | 3,175 hectares |
| Districts covered | Ajmer, Jaipur, Tonk, Dausa, Sawai Madhopur |
| Starts at | NH-58, Beawar |
| Ends at | NH-21, Bharatpur |
| Status | DPR approved, survey in progress |
| Part of | Rajasthan's Vision 2047, one of 9 planned greenfield expressways |
The expressway threads through a fair number of towns along the way; Masuda, Bandanwara, Bhinay, Nagola, Kekri, Phagi, Madhorajpura, Todaraisingh, Niwai, Lalsot, Nirjharna, and Gangapur City are among them. Some of these places have had almost no direct high-speed connectivity before, so this isn't just a Delhi-Ajmer shortcut; it's a genuine upgrade for a whole stretch of central Rajasthan.
What's Actually Confirmed vs. What's Still Coming?
Just to be honest about this, because it will make a difference to how you consider your land decision based on this information. The survey period usually lasts about 18 months from the time it begins, and the construction budget and schedule become certain only thereafter. So while the project is real and progressing, "five hours to Ajmer" is something that is expected to happen after the completion of the project and not within one or two years from now. However, it should be noted that some land purchases have begun in Jaipur areas along the path of the project, and transactions in some villages have already been suspended due to this.
Why This Matters for Land Near Delhi?
Big connectivity projects like this tend to lift interest in land at both ends of the corridor, not just along the middle stretch. On the Delhi side, that means:
- A plot in Delhi closer to the routes feeding into this corridor becomes more attractive to people who want easy access toward Rajasthan without dealing with Jaipur's traffic.
- Owners with land for sale in Delhi near these connecting roads may start seeing more inquiries as awareness of the project spreads.
- Even farm land for sale in Delhi on the city's outer edges can see indirect benefit, since improved regional connectivity tends to raise the appeal of peripheral land for future development, not just agriculture.
None of this happens overnight. But early movement in land interest is usually the first sign an infrastructure project is being taken seriously by the market.
Why This Matters for Land Near Ajmer?
Ajmer is arguably the biggest beneficiary here, since it sits right at the expressway's Beawar end. A few things worth keeping in mind if you're looking at this market:
- Land closer to Beawar and along the expressway's early stretch is likely to see the fastest appreciation, simply because it benefits first once construction visibly begins.
- A plot in Ajmer within reasonable distance of the highway connection point is a fundamentally different investment than land on the far side of the district, even if both are technically "Ajmer."
- Religious tourism to Ajmer Sharif and Pushkar already drives steady visitor traffic. Faster road access from Delhi only adds to that pull, which is good news for land near the city's tourism-adjacent areas too.
If you're actively browsing an Ajmer plot for sale right now, it's worth checking how close the listing actually sits to the new alignment before assuming the "Ajmer" label alone guarantees future upside.
Should You Sell Now or Wait?
This is the question every landowner along this corridor is going to ask eventually, so let's address it directly.
| If you… | Consider this |
|---|---|
| Need funds soon or aren't confident in the project timeline | Selling now, while early interest is building, locks in value without betting on construction actually finishing on schedule |
| Can hold for several years and are close to the alignment | Waiting through construction has historically paid off better on comparable Rajasthan expressway projects, since prices tend to jump again once the road is actually operational |
| Own land far from the corridor, in name only | Get an updated valuation before assuming the expressway changes anything for your specific plot |
If you're planning to sell land in Ajmer, particularly anywhere near Beawar or the towns the expressway passes through, now is a reasonable time to get a fresh, accurate valuation rather than working off old numbers, since interest in this stretch is only going to grow from here.
The Bigger Picture
With this expressway and the Kotputli-Kishangarh corridor, which reduces the travel time from Delhi to Jaipur, along with some other expressways under the Vision 2047 program, Rajasthan is certainly experiencing an expressway spree recently. While individually, each expressway saves only an hour or two of travel time, collectively these are making Rajasthan a much more connected part of the NCR region, at least on paper, and the land markets seem to know that very well.
Verified Land Along the Corridor
Whether you're tracking a plot in Delhi with easy access toward this new corridor, evaluating land for sale in Delhi on the city's outer belt, or looking closely at an Ajmer plot for sale near Beawar, getting verified paperwork matters more on a project that's still under construction than on land where the infrastructure is already finished. At 2Bigha, every listing comes with background verification and clean ownership records, so your decision is based on solid documentation, not just excitement about a headline. And if you're on the seller's side, ready to sell land in Ajmer or anywhere along this route, 2Bigha puts your listing in front of buyers who are already watching this corridor closely.
