Quick Answer
- What is the Anand Vihar skywalk? NCRTC tendered a 417-metre air-conditioned skywalk with travelators connecting Namo Bharat RRTS, Anand Vihar Railway Terminal, Blue and Pink Line Metro stations, and ISBT Kaushambi into one covered interchange.
- When will it be ready? Construction is expected to begin Q3 2026 with completion targeted by mid-2027 (NCRTC tender reference DM/MS/CPM-GZ/312, June 2026).
- Why does this matter for commercial property? Physical interchange connectivity typically drives sustained footfall growth and capital appreciation at adjacent commercial addresses.
- Prices: Business Suite from ₹55L · Hotel Suite from ₹69L
In June 2026, NCRTC floated a tender for a 417-metre air-conditioned skywalk with travelators at Anand Vihar. The skywalk will physically connect the Namo Bharat RRTS station, Anand Vihar Railway Terminal, Anand Vihar Metro stations (Blue and Pink Lines), and ISBT Kaushambi into a single covered interchange.
Construction is expected to begin in Q3 2026, with completion targeted by mid-2027.
This is not a proposal or a feasibility study. It is a funded government tender from a central infrastructure authority. The source is NCRTC's official website, tender reference DM/MS/CPM-GZ/312 dated 12 June 2026.
This article explains what this infrastructure change means — specifically for the commercial property market at ISBT Kaushambi.
What the Skywalk Actually Does
Right now, Anand Vihar has five transit systems operating within a 400-metre radius of each other. They are technically close, but not physically unified — passengers moving between them cross open roads, navigate separate entry points, and deal with weather and traffic.
The 417-metre skywalk eliminates that. Once built, a passenger arriving by Namo Bharat RRTS from Meerut can walk under cover, with travelators, directly to the Metro, Railway, or ISBT — without stepping onto street level.
That changes the operational meaning of "connectivity" at this location. Today, Anand Vihar is near five transit systems. After mid-2027, it will be inside a unified interchange.
The Five Systems at This Location
| Transit System | Daily Passengers | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Anand Vihar Railway Terminal | ~50,000 | Eastern UP, Bihar, Jharkhand, North-East India |
| Kaushambi Metro (Blue Line) | ~45,000 | Noida, central Delhi, Dwarka |
| Anand Vihar Metro (Pink Line) | Included above | South Delhi, Mayur Vihar corridor |
| ISBT Kaushambi (inter-state buses) | ~64,000 | UP, Uttarakhand, Himachal, Nepal border routes |
| Anand Vihar RRTS (Namo Bharat) | ~40,000 | Meerut, Modinagar, Muradnagar, Ghaziabad |
| Total | 2 lakh+ | Delhi NCR + regional rail network |
No other location in Delhi NCR — including major railway terminals, ISBT Kashmere Gate, or any Metro interchange — has all five of these systems in one footprint. The skywalk turns the physical proximity into operational unity.
Why This Matters for Commercial Property
Commercial property value at any location is driven by one factor above everything else: footfall. Not potential footfall. Not projected footfall. Actual, recurring, daily footfall from people who have a structural reason to be at that location.
Transit hubs generate this kind of footfall by design. A railway terminal or bus station does not depend on how many people live nearby — it depends on how many people move through it, which is determined by the network it serves.
The 2 lakh+ daily figure at ISBT Kaushambi is not a marketing projection. It reflects actual passenger counts across five transit systems that existed before this project was ever announced. The skywalk does not create this footfall — it concentrates and unifies it at a single covered interchange.
The structural point: Footfall at ISBT Kaushambi is not dependent on the surrounding residential population. It is generated by a transit network that draws passengers from Meerut, Bihar, eastern UP, Noida, and central Delhi — independent of what gets built in the immediate vicinity.
The Only Commercial Project in This Interchange Footprint
Omaxe BeTogether Courtyard Kaushambi is built directly within the ISBT Kaushambi campus — the only commercial project inside the interchange footprint, not adjacent to it.
The project is a Public-Private Partnership between Omaxe Limited (BSE/NSE listed) and UPSRTC (Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation), under a 90-year government concession. It comprises:
- Business Suites — commercial office space for self-use, registered in the buyer's name under the 90-year PPP concession
- Hotel Suites — studio apartments, available for self-use or hotel-managed leasing post-possession
- Retail units — ground-floor retail, launching separately
The 90-year concession deed is registered in the buyer's name, transferable and inheritable. It is a government-backed commercial asset at a location where the government has simultaneously committed to a ₹100+ crore infrastructure upgrade through the NCRTC skywalk.
The Window This Creates
Infrastructure upgrades of this scale have a predictable effect on commercial property markets: they get priced in before completion. The skywalk is funded, tendered, and under a 15-month build schedule. By the time it opens — mid-2027 — the "upcoming infrastructure" narrative becomes a delivered fact.
Units at Omaxe BeTogether Kaushambi are currently available at booking-stage pricing. The NCRTC skywalk timeline runs parallel to the project's own delivery schedule.

The Anand Vihar skywalk is not unprecedented. Major Indian and global transit infrastructure projects have consistently shown a pattern: commercial property in the immediate catchment of upgraded transit interchanges appreciates meaningfully before and after the upgrade completes.
| Comparable Case | Infrastructure Addition | Commercial Property Effect |
|---|---|---|
| ISBT Kashmere Gate, Delhi | Integration of Blue, Red, Yellow Line metro interchange | Retail space at Kashmere Gate saw significant value appreciation as it became Delhi's busiest metro interchange; commercial demand grew with transit integration |
| Rajiv Chowk (Connaught Place) | Yellow + Blue Line interchange; later capacity expansion | CP commercial property, already premium, maintained premium as transit connectivity made it accessible from all parts of Delhi; retail rents remained highest in the metro catchment |
| Airport Express + Blue Line, New Delhi station | Integration of Airport Express with metro network | Commercial property near Shivaji Stadium, Dhaula Kuan corridor appreciated; the transit improvement was priced in pre-completion |
| ISBT Kaushambi (current) | 417m NCRTC skywalk (all 5 transit systems unified), tender June 2026 | Currently: pre-skywalk, under-construction stage pricing. Post-mid-2027: fully operational unified interchange priced in |
The pattern in each case: the period before the infrastructure completes is the window where the market has not yet fully priced in the completed state. Booking-stage pricing at ISBT Kaushambi today sits in this window.
Who Should Pay Attention to This Development
- Investors currently evaluating Saket, Vasant Kunj, or Noida commercial property — for the same ₹50–70L budget, the Kaushambi transit hub offers structural footfall that South Delhi commercial property typically doesn't
- F&B and retail operators — a unified interchange means dramatically reduced friction for RRTS passengers to access ISBT retail; the addressable customer universe expands the day the skywalk opens
- UP and Uttarakhand businesses with Delhi NCR clientele — the skywalk makes ISBT Kaushambi the most accessible NCR commercial address for clients travelling from UP via both bus and RRTS
- Clinic, coaching, and CA/CS offices — the unified interchange brings the patient/student catchment from 5 transit systems without requiring separate trips to navigate between them
Frequently Asked Questions
When will the Anand Vihar skywalk be completed?
NCRTC's tender was floated in June 2026 (reference DM/MS/CPM-GZ/312, dated 12 June 2026). Construction is expected to begin in Q3 2026 with a 15-month build schedule — targeting completion by approximately mid-2027. All timelines are subject to government construction progress.
Does the NCRTC skywalk directly connect to ISBT Kaushambi?
Yes. The 417-metre skywalk is designed to connect RRTS Anand Vihar, Anand Vihar Railway Terminal, Anand Vihar Metro stations (Blue Line and Pink Line), and ISBT Kaushambi into a single covered interchange. ISBT Kaushambi is one of the four nodes in this unified interchange structure.
Is the Omaxe BeTogether project inside the ISBT Kaushambi campus?
Yes. Omaxe BeTogether Courtyard Kaushambi is developed within the ISBT Kaushambi premises under the 90-year UPSRTC PPP concession. It is not adjacent to the terminal — it is structurally part of the redeveloped terminal campus. This means the skywalk connects directly to the commercial complex.
How does the skywalk affect commercial property pricing at ISBT Kaushambi?
Infrastructure upgrades of this scale are typically "priced in" during the period between announcement and completion. Current booking-stage pricing at Omaxe BeTogether does not fully reflect the post-skywalk unified interchange value. Historically, transit hub commercial properties see meaningful appreciation as infrastructure delivery approaches and post-completion — exact figures cannot be projected, but the directional trend is consistent with comparable cases.
