Within the National Capital Region (NCR), urbanization has been most pronounced in satellite cities such as Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Faridabad, and Ghaziabad. Among these, Gurugram has emerged as a leading hub, driven by strong in-migration of professionals and entrepreneurs, large-scale infrastructure upgrades, and luxury residential development. Its transformation began with the establishment of Maruti Suzuki in 1982, gained momentum with the first Gurugram Master Plan 2031 released in 2007, and further accelerated by IT/Business Parks, Yellow Line Metro expansion, Expressway connectivity, and industrial development.
South of Gurugram has emerged as the city’s new frontier for development, with SPR and Golf Course Extension Road and Sohna acting as key growth corridors. Out of which Sohna stands out as a policy-driven area, with the Sohna Master Plan 2031 laying the foundation for integrated residential, commercial, and industrial development. While Golf Course Extension and SPR corridors cater to premium and upper-mid housing, Sohna is steadily evolving as a complementary hub with its own real estate momentum, shaped by affordable-to-upper mid housing, industrial estates, and rapidly improving infrastructure.
Growth Factors of Emerging Micro-Markets
- Sohna is just a 40-minute drive from Gurugram’s key employment hubs like Cyber Hub and Golf Course Road and less than an hour from IGI Airport.
- In the last five years, Sohna has emerged as a preferred residential hub, evolving from affordable housing to mid and upper mid-segment developments, driven by infrastructure growth and strong developer activity – offering ‘right-priced, right-sized’ homes and long-term returns on investment.
- It has recorded a graded residential apartment supply of ~8,200 housing units, with only 45% available in the primary market for sale, highlighting steady demand and absorption rate.
- Residential prices along Sohna Expressway range between INR 10,000–12,000 per sq. ft. (BUA), which is 2.3 X more affordable than other micro-markets of Gurugram.
- The presence of the 1,500+ acre IMT Sohna, buoyed by over 10,000+cr. of PPP investments, quick connectivity of Sohna to the Delhi Mumbai Expressway, and the evolving presence of manufacturing giants are further accelerating Sohna’s growth as a credible employment-generating micro-market and resultant premium and luxury housing location.
- Sohna is known for its well-established social and tourist infrastructure, which is set to be further enhanced by the upcoming 10,000-acre jungle safari project.
Delhi NCR’s real estate landscape is gaining momentum, driven by policy support, infrastructure upgrades, and robust real estate activity. As expanding cities unlock new areas to cater to growing demand, micro-markets located in proximity to the city’s business districts are emerging as attractive investment destinations, offering strong potential for capital appreciation. “Sohna, as one of the emerging micro-markets in South of Gurugram, is anticipated to witness price appreciation up to 1.6X by 2030, benefitting both homebuyers and investors,” says Swapnil Anil, managing director, advisory services, Colliers India.
