The Connectivity Map: What's Actually Available Today
Road Access
Dwarka Expressway (NH-248BB) The primary artery. The expressway is fully operational with elevated stretches that allow largely signal-free movement from Sector 113 to Sheetla Mata Road in the south and all the way into Dwarka in the north. Peak hour congestion does exist, particularly at the Kherki Daula toll and the Palam Vihar intersection, buyers should factor this into their daily commute assessment, not just the Google Maps estimate.
Najafgarh–Bajghera Road A secondary corridor that connects residents eastward toward Dwarka Sector 14 and onward. Useful for those commuting toward south Delhi.
Urban Extension Road 2 (UER-II) Located approximately 5 km from the project. When fully operational, UER-II will serve as a direct connector between the outer ring road and IGI Airport, significantly reducing travel time for residents of this corridor during peak hours.
The Signal-Free Flyover There is an elevated flyover directly in front of Smartworld One DXP. In practical terms, this means residents exiting the project toward Delhi do not hit the ground-level signals. In a city where signal stops add 10–15 minutes to morning commutes, this is not a minor detail.
Metro Connectivity
The nearest operational metro access points are:
- Yashobhoomi Dwarka Sector 25 Metro Station — approximately 5 km | Airport Express Line (Orange Line)
- Dwarka Sector 21 Metro Station — approximately 7.5 km | Blue Line + Airport Express interchange
The Yashobhoomi Dwarka Sector 25 station was inaugurated in September 2023, extending the Airport Express Line to 24.9 km from New Delhi Station. Trains run every 10 minutes on this corridor, and the journey from here to central Delhi (New Delhi Station) takes approximately 21 minutes. For residents of Sector 113 who reach the metro by cab or auto, total commute time to Connaught Place or Aerocity sits around 35–40 minutes, competitive with most of South Delhi.
Upcoming: A Gurugram Metro expansion corridor is proposed with a station at Sector 101 on Dwarka Expressway. Once operational, this will bring metro access considerably closer to Sector 113 and directly impact rental demand and resale values in the micro-market.
Airport Access
IGI Airport Terminal 3 — approximately 15 km | ~20–25 minutes drive\
This is the headline stat every project uses. The more useful data point: from Sector 113, you access the airport via Dwarka Expressway into Dwarka, then to NH-48 toward Terminal 3. On a weekday at 6 AM, that's under 20 minutes. On a Friday at 6 PM, allow 40–45 minutes.
What's in development: A proposed 8-lane shallow tunnel is on the infrastructure map connecting Dwarka Expressway's Sector 113 stretch directly to IGI Airport. If delivered, this collapses airport travel time to a near-seamless connection, think similar to how residents of Aerocity enjoy airport access today. This is not confirmed, but it is actively discussed in infrastructure planning circles around this corridor.
The IICC (Yashobhoomi) Factor: Why This Changes Everything for Investors
Most buyers looking at Smartworld One DXP ask about malls and schools. Smart investors are asking about Yashobhoomi.
The India International Convention Centre (IICC), branded Yashobhoomi, is India's largest convention and exhibition centre. It is located in Dwarka Sector 25, roughly 2 km from Sector 113. The convention centre can accommodate up to 11,000 people at a time and is designed to host international events, trade fairs, and government summits.
Why does this matter for real estate?
Convention centres drive hotel development, short-term rental demand, and retail. Aerocity, Delhi's hospitality and commercial hub, grew almost entirely in the shadow of IGI Airport's international traffic. Yashobhoomi is positioned to generate a similar demand multiplier on the Dwarka Expressway belt.
Residents of Sector 113 who want to rent out their apartments during large events, or investors building a short-term rental portfolio, are sitting 2 minutes from what will likely become one of Delhi-NCR's highest footfall convention zones.
This angle is not priced into the market yet. That is the opportunity.
Employment Hubs: The Commute Reality
| Destination | Distance | Estimated Travel Time |
| Udyog Vihar (Phase I–VI) | ~10–12 km | 20–30 minutes |
| DLF Cyber City | ~12 km | 25–35 minutes |
| Aerocity (DIAL commercial zone) | ~12 km | 20–25 minutes |
| Connaught Place | ~22 km | 35–45 minutes (via NH-48) |
| Gurgaon Cyber Hub | ~15 km | 25–35 minutes |
| Dwarka commercial zones | ~5 km | 10–15 minutes |
The profile fits dual-income households where one person works in Gurgaon's corporate corridor and the other in Delhi, a very common scenario in this buyer segment.
Social Infrastructure Within 5 km
Schools
- DPSG Palam Vihar — 3 km
- Mount Carmel School — 3 km
- ORCHIDS The International School — within the sector
Hospitals
- Manipal Hospital — 5 km
- Columbia Asia (Gurugram) — 5 km
- Park Hospital — 5 km
Retail
- Global Foyer Mall — 5 km
- Conscient One — 5 km
Note on daily convenience: The sector currently has limited hyper-local retail, kirana stores, petrol pumps, and smaller daily-use vendors are developing. Buyers who want walkable grocery access in the first year of possession should factor this in. This is a premium real estate zone in active development, not a fully saturated neighbourhood yet.
The Security Advantage: Diplomatic Enclave Part 2
Sector 113 falls within the security perimeter influenced by Diplomatic Enclave Part 2, a government-designated zone that brings higher-than-average surveillance infrastructure to the area. For buyers, particularly those with international exposure or high-profile careers, this adds a meaningful layer of ambient security that typical Gurgaon sectors don't carry.
Hidden Costs Buyers Should Know Before Signing
On a ₹4.5 crore to ₹7.5 crore apartment, the sticker price is not what you pay. Here's what adds up:
- Stamp Duty (Haryana): 5% for male buyers, 3% for female buyers. On ₹5 crore, that's ₹25 lakh or ₹15 lakh respectively.
- Registration charges: ₹50,000 standard in Haryana.
- Car parking: Typically charged separately at ₹5–10 lakh per slot in this segment. Verify how many are included in your unit pricing.
- Club membership: Often a mandatory one-time fee, typically ₹2–4 lakh in luxury projects.
- Maintenance deposit: Usually 2 years of maintenance collected at possession. On large format apartments, this can be ₹3–5 lakh.
- GST: Under-construction properties attract 5% GST. On a ₹5 crore under-construction unit, that's ₹25 lakh additional.
Total acquisition cost on a ₹5 crore apartment can be ₹5.6–5.8 crore before any interior fitting. Plan your loan eligibility around this, not just the base price.
Investment Case: Does Sector 113 Make Sense in 2025?
The honest answer: Yes, with conditions.
What works in your favour:
- First-mover advantage in a corridor with converging infrastructure — metro expansion, IICC operationalisation, UER-II completio
- Developer credibility — Smartworld has delivered projects and carries RERA registration (RC/REP/HARERA/GGM/645/377/2022/120)
- Limited ready supply in the ultra-luxury segment on Dwarka Expressway
- Rental demand driven by Aerocity and IICC proximity is structurally growing
What to factor in honestly:
- Possession is expected December 2027. Under-construction risk is real — always verify construction progress before milestone payments.
- The sector is approximately 30% developed. For end-users who want immediate community living, this is a 3–5 year horizon.
- ROI projections from brokers are typically optimistic. Conservative underwriting: 15–20% appreciation over the construction timeline based on comparable corridors, not guaranteed.
