History
In the year 2000, DDA's NCR Transport Plan 2021 conceived the UER-II project, which did not materialize due to financial viability and land procurement problems. In 2018, NHAI took over the implementation of UER-II phase-1 on payment of INR4000 crore financial viability gap funding by DDA, while DDA itself simultaneously undertook the construction of phase-2.[3] Phase-I from Alipur-Bahadurgarh-NajafGarh-IGI, constructed by the NHAI, cost approximately ₹7,716 crores.[1]
