Area Overview
What makes Sector 88 special
Sector 88 sits in the NH-48 belt past Sector 87, with development at a mixed stage — delivered projects alongside others still building.
It is the base sector of a group that includes the separately numbered Sectors 88A and 88B, all sharing the same corridor position.
IMT Manesar is about seven minutes, which is the practical draw here, and it is MCG territory.
