Sonipat is entering a phase of sustained growth as new retail and housing projects gain momentum across the district. The Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) is developing multiple commercial zones to expand organised retail for a rising population. The city’s strategic location along key Delhi NCR routes, along with recent connectivity upgrades, has strengthened interest from traders, homebuyers, and businesses.
Retail development picks up pace
Construction of new markets, including Khari Baoli Market, Bhagirath Palace, and Ganaur Market—is underway as part of the state’s push to meet increasing commercial demand. Analysts note that Sonipat’s position along the Delhi-Haryana industrial corridor and its relative affordability compared to neighbouring NCR cities continue to drive investor attention. Proximity to the national capital remains a major factor influencing commercial and retail expansion.
Housing activity strengthens under Master Plan 2031
The Haryana government’s Sonipat Master Plan 2031 outlines a long-term development roadmap for a projected population of 2.5 million. It allocates over 7,000 hectares for integrated townships and more than 600 hectares for commercial development, with more than 20,000 hectares earmarked overall for residential, commercial, and industrial projects.
One of the new housing developments gaining traction is the RERA-approved The Elite Residences, in Sector 91 by One Prastha. The project incorporates green building features such as energy-efficient systems, water management solutions, and native landscaping. The developer has also participated in a CREDAI Haryana afforestation initiative, adopting 10 acres in the Aravallis for plantation activities.
With government planning, infrastructure upgrades, and private development progressing in parallel, Sonipat is witnessing consistent multi-sectoral growth. The district is expected to attract further investment as ongoing projects advance.
