With growing interest from startup founders and businessmen, South Delhi has emerged as a premier end-user destination. Privacy and customized space are the primary needs of these ultra-rich inhabitants. The area's excellent connectivity to office hubs in Gurugram and Noida, as well as the airport, further enhances its appeal.
According to the report, in Category-A colonies, the average price for a 2500 sq. ft. floor has risen by approximately 100% from ₹8 to 11 crore to ₹16 to 22 crore between June 2022 and June 2025. For a 6000 sq. ft. floor, the price has risen by 105% from ₹18 to 22 crore to ₹36 to 45 crore. In Category-B colonies, the average price for a 2500 sq. ft. floor has risen by approximately 70% from ₹5 to 6.5 crore to ₹8.5 to 11 crore, while for a 3200 sq. ft. floor, the price has risen by approximately 64% from ₹8 to 11 crore to ₹13 to 18 crore.
“South Delhi is today the most premium real estate market, with per sq. ft. rates in a Category-A colony ranging between ₹60,000 to ₹90,000 and in Category-B colonies between ₹36,000 to ₹56,000, depending on the floor and colony,” said Ankur Jalan, CEO of Golden Growth Fund. “The return on investment is another factor that has added to the growing interest,” he added.
In an earlier report, GGF noted that the redevelopment potential of South Delhi is worth ₹5.65 lakh crore across 42 MCD Regulated colonies, with plots (occupied and vacant) in Category A and B colonies alone accounting for over ₹5.35 lakh crore. “The real estate market in the last three years has been bullish. However, what separates South Delhi from the rest is the consistent demand, reliable and safe investment, and substantial returns. Besides, it also boasts of safety of the asset against depreciation of capital,” Jalan said.
Some of the prominent Category-A and B colonies include Mayfair Garden, Panchsheel Park N Block, Panchsheel Park S and E Blocks, Sadhana Enclave, Anand Niketan, Vasant Vihar, Shanti Niketan, Westend, Chankyapuri, Golf Links, JorBagh, Sundar Nagar, Maharani Bagh, Chirag Enclave, GK, Green Park, Gulmohar Park, and Niti Bagh.
High Net Worth Individuals (HNIs), Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), and family offices, who earlier invested in local properties without the cushion of compliance and safety, are now making investments in AIFs that invest in these colonies. With returns as high as 18-20% without the hassle of maintenance, AIFs have opened a new avenue for these investors.
Golden Growth Fund is a Category-II Real Estate-focused Alternative Investment Fund (AIF), a unique financial vehicle specifically designed for real estate investments in South and Lutyens' Delhi, India’s poshest colonies.
