Anand Vihar–Kaushambi Skywalk: Five Transit Modes, One Covered Walkway

A major piece of transit infrastructure is moving from the drawing board to the bidding stage. In June 2026, the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) opened a formal e-tender for a 417-metre elevated skywalk at the Anand Vihar multimodal terminal. The tender — reference DM/MS/CPM-GZ/312 — carries a bid security of ₹71,11,854 and a 15-month construction window, which puts the likely completion around mid-2027.

Why this matters for OMAXE Luxury Offices, Kaushambi: the proposed walkway will connect the Namo Bharat RRTS station at Anand Vihar directly with Kaushambi, Anand Vihar Railway Station, the Blue Line Metro and the Pink Line Metro. In other words, five separate transit systems will be joined by a single, climate-controlled pedestrian corridor. For an office buyer, that is not just a convenience — it is a structural shift in how many people pass through this micro-market every day.

What the tender covers

The project is an elevated, covered walkway fitted with travelators — the same moving walkways found in airports. The idea is to let people switch between the RRTS, railway, two metro lines and the bus terminal without stepping onto a road, waiting at a crossing, or walking in the open weather. At 417 metres, it is a substantial structure, not a token footbridge.

The tender is funded, which is the difference between a proposal and a project. Once a contractor is appointed, the work is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2026. Bidders were asked to submit their offers by 13 July 2026.

Kaushambi becomes the interchange everyone walks through

Right now, the five transit systems around Kaushambi exist side by side but are not truly one hub. A commuter can reach Anand Vihar by RRTS, but then has to cross the road, find the railway station entrance, or walk to the metro gates. Each mode is a short distance away, but the short distances add friction.

After the skywalk, that friction disappears. The route will pull RRTS passengers, train travellers, bus passengers, Blue Line commuters and Pink Line commuters into a single covered path. For offices and commercial spaces at OMAXE Luxury Offices, Kaushambi, the practical effect is that this location becomes a mandatory stop rather than an optional detour. Daily footfall becomes more predictable, more diverse and significantly larger.

This combination is rare in Delhi NCR. Having a private commercial project within walking distance of a five-mode, government-built interchange is not something that can be replicated quickly or cheaply elsewhere.

What it means for office-space buyers

Commercial office values in transit-led markets are driven by one thing more than any other: access to a steady, structural flow of people. Marketing campaigns can generate short-term interest, but a 417-metre skywalk cannot be switched off. It produces daily footfall for decades.

For the occupier profile OMAXE Luxury Offices, Kaushambi is designed for — chartered accountants, company secretaries, lawyers, consultants, SMEs, business centres and corporate support teams — this changes the pitch to clients. A meeting address becomes reachable by RRTS, railway, two metro lines and inter-state bus, all under one roof. That is a meaningful convenience for professionals whose clients travel from across Delhi NCR and beyond.

For investors, the argument is about timing. A project bought while the skywalk is still under tender is priced before the infrastructure is fully visible. Once the structure is up and operational, the market tends to re-price comparable assets to reflect the new connectivity. The period between tender and completion is usually the window where the gap between current pricing and future value is widest.
