According to property registration documents reviewed by real estate data analytics firm CRE Matrix, cricketer Shikhar Dhawan has purchased a premium apartment in DLF’s The Camellias – The Dahlias, Gurugram, for ₹65.61 crore. Spanning 6,040 sq ft and including five parking spaces, the property was registered on February 4, 2025. Located on Golf Course Road, the project is renowned for its world-class amenities and a roster of prominent residents.
In another significant transaction, Vineet Kapur, founder of skincare brand O3+, and his wife Sonia Kapur have acquired a bungalow in Delhi’s upscale Vasant Vihar for ₹72 crore. The 6,160 sq ft property was registered on April 3, 2025, according to documents seen by CRE Matrix.
These purchases form part of a broader trend, not just in Delhi-NCR, but nationwide, where the luxury segment continues to outperform the wider market. Buyers are favoring exclusive, asset-rich homes in well-established neighborhoods, reinforcing the strength of high-end real estate in the region.
India’s retail real estate sector is on course for a record-breaking boom, with 16.6 million sq. ft. of Grade A mall space expected to be added across the top seven cities by the end of 2026, according to research by ANAROCK. Hyderabad and Delhi-NCR will account for nearly two-thirds of this expansion, reflecting their growing status as retail hotspots.
The surge comes after three years of supply lagging behind leasing demand. In 2024, for example, just 1.1 million sq. ft. of new space was delivered, while 6.5 million sq. ft. was leased. Now, developers are racing to meet the demand, driven by higher incomes, urbanization, and the entry of over 60 global brands since 2021.
Vacancy rates are expected to stabilize at around 8% through 2026, down from pandemic highs, while interest is growing in Tier 2 and 3 cities. Analysts believe strong fundamentals will help avoid oversupply, as quality and experience take center stage.
