Delhi-Faridabad In 20 Minutes
Currently, it takes around 1 hour to reach Faridabad from Delhi. If someone is going to Faridabad from Delhi, they will have to first reach the Ashram, and then the person will have to take Mathura Road to reach Faridabad via Jasola Apollo, Sarita Vihar, and Badarpur flyover. However, the new Delhi-Mumbai Expressway link will reduce the travelling time to 20 minutes from Delhi.
