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. Phase-I from Alipur-Bahadurgarh-NajafGarh-IGI, constructed by the NHAI, cost approximately ₹7,716 crores.{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/work-on-second-phase-of-uer-ii-to-start-by-sept-end/articleshow/85698945.cms|title=Delhi: Work on second phase of UER-II to start by September-end|website=Times of India|access-date=28 August 2021}}
