India’s prime residential market of Gurugram is gearing up for a bumper festive season with a massive luxury housing launch pipeline as realty developers’ line up projects worth one trillion rupees in the upcoming two quarters to provide the much-needed momentum to the housing market.  

Top listed and Grade A developers including DLF, Godrej, Signature Global, M3M India, Max Estates, Anant Raj are working on new launches during FY27 Q3 and Q4 to leverage big demand for premium, luxury and ultra-luxury residential developments, across prime corridors of Gurugram.

Godrej Properties is bringing substantial inventory including prominent premium residential projects like Godrej Verano. Signature Global is focusing heavily on high-end premium residential spaces including Lamborghini Residences and premium high-rises on growth corridors.

Land Pooling Takes Off in Delhi

The much-awaited land pooling has finally taken off in Delhi with the DDA granting approval for change of use in North-West Delhi. The DDA has cleared decks for a 40.2-hectare land pooling area in Sector 8B comprising land in villages of Garhi Khusro, Mukhmelpur and Ibrahimpur in North-West Delhi development under the 2018 Land Pooling Policy. It now awaits notification by the Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs (MoHUA). 

Under the Land Pooling Policy, Sector-8B is the first among 138 designated sectors under the policy to achieve the mandatory threshold of 70% contiguous pooled land, making it eligible for implementation. The eligibility follows changes made to operational norms last year, which enabled landowners and developers to complete pooling requirements and move towards development.

Incorporated in the Master Plan for Delhi-2021, the land pooling policy was notified on Oct 11, 2018, with detailed regulations issued on Oct 24 the same year. The policy seeks to promote planned urbanisation by enabling landowners to voluntarily pool their land parcels for integrated development.

 DDA, instead of acquiring individual plots aggregates the pooled land, simplifying and expediting the process. After development, a defined portion of serviced land will be returned to participating landowners, while the remaining area will be utilised for housing, public amenities and key infrastructure such as such as roads, drainage systems, utilities and large residential or commercial clusters.

As many as 105 urban villages across six planning zones of I, L, N, P-II and parts of P-I and J covering a total poolable area of approximately 20,422 hectares fall under the policy, opening up immense opportunities for urban development.
