South Delhi luxury floor prices surge 32% amidst wider realty slowdown

By A Representative 
South Delhi’s luxury housing market recorded strong price growth in the first quarter of 2026 despite a broader slowdown in the real estate sector, according to a report released by Golden Growth Fund (GGF). The report said luxury floor prices in South Delhi rose by up to 32 per cent year-on-year during the January–March quarter.
The report stated that Category B colonies outperformed Category A colonies in terms of price appreciation. Prices in Category B colonies increased between 23 per cent and 32 per cent year-on-year, while Category A colonies registered growth between 14 per cent and 22 per cent.
According to the report, the price of a 2,500 sq ft luxury floor in Category A colonies ranged between Rs 14 crore and Rs 25 crore in the first quarter of 2026, with the average price rising 22 per cent year-on-year. For a 6,000 sq ft floor in the same category, prices ranged between Rs 25 crore and Rs 55 crore, while the average price increased by 14 per cent.
In Category B colonies, a 2,500 sq ft floor was priced between Rs 9 crore and Rs 12.5 crore, with average prices increasing 23 per cent year-on-year. Meanwhile, prices for 3,200 sq ft floors ranged between Rs 14 crore and Rs 19 crore, recording an average increase of 32 per cent over the previous year.
Ankur Jalan, CEO of Golden Growth Fund, said the growth reflected “the growing depth of demand in South Delhi’s premium housing market.” He added that South Delhi was “far from being a uniform market,” with pricing varying across colonies and micro-markets. Jalan also said there was increasing migration of buyers from other parts of Delhi towards South Delhi’s premium localities.
The report noted that ongoing geopolitical uncertainty arising from the conflict in West Asia could lead to increased investment interest in established luxury housing markets such as South Delhi. Jalan said wealthy Indian families and non-resident Indians may increasingly prefer such markets for investment.
The report listed colonies including Mayfair Garden, Panchsheel Park, Anand Niketan, Vasant Vihar, Shanti Niketan, Chanakyapuri, Golf Links and Jor Bagh among Category A localities. Category B colonies mentioned in the report included Greater Kailash, Green Park, Gulmohar Park, Defence Colony, Safdarjung Enclave and Kailash Colony.
According to GGF, around 18,500 plots are available across 42 Category A and B colonies in South Delhi, with an estimated redevelopment potential of Rs 6.5 lakh crore.

Xi Jinping’s visit to USA: Recognition that China can't be contained?

By Vijay Prashad   President Xi Jinping’s forthcoming visit to the United States must be understood as more than an encounter between two heads of state, but it must be seen as an encounter between two possible futures. In one future, the United States imposes a spiral of confrontation against China. Trade disputes harden into economic warfare, then economic warfare intensifies into technological blockades, technological blockades produce military encirclement, and finally military encirclement creates incidents, and incidents the danger of becoming an unimaginable war.

Swaminarayan, untouchability and the 'we are not Hindu' argument

By Rajiv Shah   Following my blog on why the Eiffel Tower authorities should take all the blame for giving in to the Swaminarayan sadhus ’ bizarre demand to “invisibilise” women, including its female staff, during their visit to the internationally renowned Paris tourist centre on September 5, an interesting comment by one of the top academics drew my attention to something I vaguely knew about one of India’s most powerful and richest religious sects.

From margins to microphones: The rise of Dalit hip-hop in India

By Tersina Maria Toppo*  A protest does not always arrive as a slogan shouted from a street corner. Sometimes, it arrives on a beat. A microphone replaces the megaphone, a music video becomes a public square, and the smartphone becomes the space where a history once pushed to the margins is narrated, debated, and shared.
