Due to finance concerns, the SPR project has been delayed; however, according to GMDA, the full tendering procedure has been finished, and the powerful committee headed by the chief minister will award the contract shortly.

The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) has proposed to impose a 1% user charge in the form of duty on property transfers in sectors along the road for a period of three years in an effort to raise money for the Southern Peripheral Road project, whose work is likely to be allocated soon by a powerful committee led by chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar.
There are 37 developing sectors along the SPR, according to the authority, and by levying a 1% user fee on property transfers, the authority estimates that it will be able to raise $325 crore in three years.
