GROWTH CORRIDOR by R&R, an independent research division of RISE Infraventures Limited
New Delhi, 9th May 2024: Northern India is fast becoming the hot bed of the premium and affordable residential market. As one moves a little ahead of Delhi, the once-sleepy stretch between Sonipat and Panipat, is now emerging as the growth corridor of sorts for the real estate sector.
The recent survey by R&R stressed that one of the key drivers of the real estate market in Sonipat-Panipat is its proximity to the national capital, Delhi. Being situated in the National Capital Region (NCR), these cities have benefitted from the spillover effect of Delhi’s rapid urbanisation and population growth.
Vishesh Prakash, Head, R&R, shares, “Many people, especially working professionals, are looking for that suit their need, looking for holistic and affordable housing options outside Delhi, and Sonipat-Panipat offer relatively competent property prices compared to the national capital. Infrastructure development has played a crucial role in shaping the real estate landscape of Sonipat and Panipat. The region has witnessed the development of highways, expressways, and other transportation networks, which have improved connectivity and accessibility. The Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway and the Eastern Peripheral Expressway have significantly reduced travel time between Sonipat-Panipat and other parts of the NCR, making it an ideal destination for real estate investment.”
While Panipat’s geographical positioning as a transit hub ensures excellent connectivity to northern states, making it an attractive destination for businesses, industries, and professionals seeking well-connected cities for work and living; for Sonipat, an industrial agglomeration in the vicinity provide a conducive environment for real estate growth in the area, both residential and commercial.
The establishment of industrial corridors and special economic zones (SEZs) in Sonipat-Panipat stretch has also led to an influx of industries and businesses, which has created employment opportunities and stimulated housing demand.
Residential real estate development in Sonipat-Panipat has primarily focused on providing affordable housing options to middle-income homebuyers. Gated communities, integrated townships, and affordable housing projects have proliferated in the region to cater to the housing needs of the burgeoning population. Additionally, there has been a rise in demand for plotted developments and independent houses, especially among those looking for more space and customisation options.
In fact, even the commercial real estate sector in Sonipat-Panipat is witnessing steady growth, driven by the demand for office spaces, retail outlets, and commercial complexes.
Situated in the National Capital Region (NCR) of India, Sonipat-Panipat enjoys proximity to Delhi, which is a major driver for its real estate market. The strategic location offers easy access to the national capital and its economic opportunities while providing a relatively quieter and more affordable living environment compared to Delhi.
Besides, Government policies promoting urbanisation, industrial growth, and infrastructure development play a significant role in shaping the real estate market in Sonipat-Panipat. Initiatives such as ‘Housing for All’ and incentives for affordable housing projects provide impetus to the sector and encourage investment.
With all this and a lot more planned for the region, Sonipat-Panipat region can definitely be termed as the growth corridor for the real estate sector in India.
High Five:
1. Sonipat-Panipat’s proximity to Delhi, the national capital, and its location within NCR make it a highly strategic investment destination.
2. The region has witnessed significant infrastructure development, including new highways, expressways, and dedicated freight corridors.
3. The establishment of industrial corridors, special economic zones, and manufacturing clusters attract businesses to the region.
4. The region offers relatively affordable housing options than Delhi-NCR, making the region an attractive destination for homebuyers.
5. Government initiatives supporting urbanisation, infrastructure development, and industrial growth make it a potential hotspot.

Hope in Motion: Doctors Successfully Perform India’s First Robotic CRS with HIPEC for Peritoneal Surface Cancer
Chennai, – May 9th, 2024 – In a major medical breakthrough, surgical oncologists at Apollo Cancer Centre (ACC) has successfully performed India’s first Robotic Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) with Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) for a peritoneal surface cancer. This minimally invasive, robotic-assisted approach marks a paradigm shift in treating Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP), an aggressive appendix cancer, offering patients with a new standard of care, enabling faster recovery and improved quality of life.
Benefits of Robotic CRS with HIPEC
• Smaller incisions resulting in less chance of wound infections, minimal scarring and better cosmesis
• Reduced tissue trauma allowing for a quicker return of bowel function, minimal blood loss and shorter hospital stay
• The robotic system utilizes magnification to enable surgeons to precisely locate even the smallest tumor implants for removal
• Less post-operative pain, potentially reducing the need for pain medications
• Faster recovery allowing patients to resume normal routine at the earliest
Dr. Ajit Pai, Senior Consultant in Surgical Oncology and Robotic Surgery, Apollo Cancer Centre, Chennai along with his team, spearheaded this first-of-its-kind approach. The collaborative clinical expertise and unwavering dedication to transformative tech innovations at ACC, were instrumental in achieving this remarkable success.
A female patient, aged 51, was diagnosed with bilateral ovarian masses, and had extensive surgical intervention, including the removal of the uterus, ovaries, appendix, and part of the omentum. Subsequent histopathological examination revealed a high-grade mucinous tumour of the appendix with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP), necessitating additional surgery. The patient was found to have residual mucinous implants (gelatinous deposits that remain in the abdomen post-surgery for appendicular mucinous tumors) in the pelvis and around the cecum (first part of the colon).
Due to the peculiar tendency of the appendix cancer to spread to the lining of the patient’s abdomen (peritoneum), Dr Ajit Pai and team performed minimally invasive Robotic Cytoreductive Surgery (to reduce the amount of cancer cells in the abdominal cavity) with right hemicolectomy (removing the colon which bears the appendix) and complete mesocolic excision (surgery for treating cancer arising from the colon and appendix) and peritonectomy and total omentectomy, along with Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (heated chemotherapy with a chemo drug) eliminating any possible microscopic residual tumours inside the abdomen.
Traditionally, CRS/HIPEC has been performed as an open and an extensive operation, with a 10-12-inch incision associated with prolonged hospitalization. The Robotic CRS approach offers significant advantages as it is minimally invasive; the clinicians made use of tiny 8mm incisions for the robotic instruments, minimizing pain, blood loss, scarring and discomfort. Additionally, a single 5cm incision was used for tumour removal and the delivery of HIPEC. This novel approach translated to a faster recovery and a quicker return to normal life for the patient. At one year follow up, she remains in perfect health and cancer free.
Dr. Ajit Pai, Senior Consultant in Surgical Oncology and Robotic Surgery, Apollo Cancer Centre, said, “Robotic CRS offers a transformative approach, requiring expertise in traditional and robotic techniques for precise tumor resections. With reduced post-operative morbidity, minimal access, and quicker recovery, this method is a viable choice for patients whose cancer cells have spread to and implanted on the peritoneal surfaces in a limited manner. We are thrilled with the successful clinical outcome and the potential this approach holds for improving the lives of patients battling peritoneal surface cancers, including those from ovarian, colonic and gastric malignancies.”
Cancer winner Subarna (name changed), said, “Words cannot express my gratitude to the entire team of doctors who took care of me. This pioneering robotic approach offered hope, with faster recovery. Thanks to this innovation, I returned home sooner than expected, feeling completely normal after treatment, with a renewed sense of optimism. I am incredibly thankful to Apollo Cancer Centre for offering this life transforming procedure.”
Dr. Preetha Reddy, Executive Vice Chairperson, Apollo Hospitals Enterprises Ltd, said, ” At ACC, we understand that cutting-edge technology is just one piece of the puzzle. While we invest in the most advanced technologies available, it’s our exceptional team of clinicians who truly unlock the potential of unparalleled clinical excellence. This powerful synergy between technology, innovation and clinical expertise sets Apollo apart, enabling millions across the world to Win Over Cancer”.
Mr. Dinesh Madhavan, President Group Oncology and International, Apollo Hospitals Enterprises Ltd, said, “Robotics is revolutionizing cancer care, offering unparalleled precision and minimal invasiveness. At ACC, we leverage this technology to enhance treatment outcomes, reduce recovery times, and provide our patients with the most advanced therapies available today. This is India’s first novel approach (robotic CRS and HIPEC) by our exceptional clinical team for treating peritoneal surface cancers is yet another testament to our unwavering commitment in providing patients with the best-in-class treatment.”
The estimated incidence of pseudomyxoma peritonei is approximately 1 to 4 out of a million, annually. Patients have an average age of 53 years at the time of diagnosis. Recognizing the aggressive nature and occurrence of this type of appendix cancer, particularly more in women, Apollo Cancer Centre continues to push boundaries and innovate to provide the best possible care to those battling these complex cancers.
