- Gurgaon sectors show record growth in Delhi NCR in 4 years
- Written by Neha Pathania Kashyap
Metro connectivity, new residential projects and road infrastructure has been driving the growth story in certain pockets of Gurgaon. These localities include IMT Manesar, Palam Vihar, and Sectors 69 to 92, Southern Peripheral Road and Sector 106.
Gurgaon real estate market has proved to be the front runner amongst Delhi-National Capital Region, as pointed out earlier in a separate story.
Several factors such as plethora of new launches by developers, reconstruction of roads, improved connectivity, increased demand and reduced supply are attributing to the development of these sectors.
The table below highlights the top movers and shakers in these areas.
IMT, Manesar
This locality has witnessed a phenomenal increase in residential values by 142 per cent in the latest quarter of 2014 compared to Q4 2010.
The reason behind this increase is that this area boasts of major residential projects by DLF, ABW Group, Anant Raj and HUDA Group Housing societies. Among other sectors in Manesar, this is one of the prime areas where ready-to-move projects are available.
“The demand here is less as compared to supply and the majority of investors here are industrialists who are travelling daily from Delhi for work,” says Rajan Kumar Hans, Founding Director of Prop Windows Infratech Pvt Ltd.
Palam Vihar
Palam Vihar has witnessed an increase of 133 per cent in Q4 2014 compared to Q4 2010. Palam Vihar, part of Old Gurgaon had very low base rates, in the range of Rs 3,000 per sq ft in the beginning and the rise in values is parallel with the overall growth in Gurgaon.
The locality’s connectivity with both, Delhi and Jaipur, the metro line availability and improved infrastructure have contributed to the growth of Palam Vihar. Also, proximity to Sector 105 and Sector 109 are catalysts in fueling growth here.
Sectors 69 to 92
Geographically, Sectors 69 to 92 are located at the starting of three different points – Golf Course Extension Road, Sohna Road and NH8.
A lot of investors have been investing in this stretch of Gurgaon as there is a high resale scope here. The investor is buying and selling to end users who want to have an abode in Gurgaon. A fresh user coming to Gurgaon is able to afford a property here.
Forming part of New Gurgaon, these sectors have become the top destinations for investment owing to new projects under construction by reputed developers such as DLF, Unitech, Tata Housing, Godrej, Raheja Developers, Bestech and Supertech.
The top gainers on this stretch are Sector 92 and Sector 71, having seen a rise of 151 and 135 per cent respectively in Q4 2014 compared to Q4 2010.
Connectivity with neighbouring areas of Gurgaon, proximity to the IGI airport, and improved road infrastructure are some other factors, according to Bharat Kalra of Buniyad Group.
Sector 106, which falls on Dwarka Expressway has witnessed a whopping 121 per cent increase in the latest quarter compared to Q4 2010.
Reason behind this increase is that several projects such as CHD Golf Avenue and Paras Dew are offering possession soon.
Southern Peripheral Road
Another stretch which is witnessing marked increase in residential values is Southern Peripheral Road which starts from Vatika City. It is the convergence point between Sohna Road and Golf Course Extension Road.
This stretch has seen an increase of 105 per cent in Q4 2014 compared to Q4 2010.
Land here is being developed by Unitech and on the right side of the road, DLF is constructing Cyber City II. A commercial tower has already been constructed here by DLF. “About 30-40 per cent area here is being developed as commercial area and the rest is coming up as residential area,” says Rajan Hans.
Developers such as Tulip, BPTP, Unitech and Tata Housing have already seen construction of few projects and are nearing completion. Connectivity to Delhi and Jaipur is also a key factor attributing to the growth of this area.
Valley View Estate, a locality that is out of Gurgaon and falls on Faridabad Road, is home to many new developers hosting their projects here. These include Krrish Builders, Paras and IREO Group. A 1BHK here is available in the starting range of Rs 55 lakh, points out Rajan Hans.
Falling under the Gwal Pahari area, this locality used to be an agricultural zone. Now, the area has been de-notified by the government, which has opened up the real estate market here to several private developers.

- Gurgaon scores high in Delhi-NCR, 30 localities rise by more than 100% in 4 Years
- Written by Neha Pathania Kashyap
Text is being reproduced below -
One of the most expensive places to stay in the country, Gurgaon is turning out to be an investor’s paradise as well. Property prices of as many as 30 sectors of Gurgaon have risen by more than 100 per cent in the last four years.This beats the rest of Delhi-National Capital Region including South Delhi, Noida, Faridabad and Ghaziabad that are also high on the ROI index.
99acres.com shares details of these 30 high performing sectors along with insights into the factors that have contributed to their phenomenal growth in a two part series.
The first part covers prominent clusters of DLF societies, Golf Course Road and Golf Course Extension Road, Sectors 42-57 and Sushant Lok (see map here). The second part looks at IMT Manesar, Palam Vihar, Sectors 65-92, Sector 106 and Southern Peripheral Road.
The following table summarizes the top movers and shakers:
DLF societies
There has been a consistent rise in DLF societies including DLF City, DLF City Phase-II, DLF City Phase-III and DLF City-Phase V. Of these, DLF City and DLF City Phase II have witnessed a 108 and 105 per cent rise in capital values respectively in Q4 2014 compared to Q4 2010 (refer to table above).
Price Trend for Apartment in DLF CITY, Gurgaon
Price appreciation can be attributed to better infrastructure and recreational options for residents as compared to other parts of Gurgaon. This pocket boasts of several top residential apartments such as Regency Park I, Hamilton Court Complex and The Aralias that offer high end living in addition to famous eateries at Galleria market and DLF Club as well. These societies are mostly inhabited by expatriates who prefer this area for its road infrastructure, independent home layout and nightlife culture. To sweeten the deal, the nearby metro is extending all the way to Sector 56, says Rajan Kumar Hans, Founding Director of Prop Windows Infratech Pvt Ltd.
Golf Course Road and Golf Course Extension Road
Golf Course Road (GC Road) serves as the jugular vein of Gurgaon. The DLF redevelopment plan intends to make Golf Course Road one of the best roads in India, with plans to link Cyber City to this road via a 16-lane corridor. This will ease the vehicular traffic on this stretch.
Home to about 40-50 residential projects, GC Road is also a corporate hub with companies such as Ernst & Young, Hewitt, Samsung having branches here. Golf Course Road has witnessed an increase of 103 per cent in the latest quarter of January-March 2014 compared to the same quarter in 2010.
Sun City, an old housing development is riding on the success of Golf Course Road and is the only plotted development on this stretch amidst tall towers. It has witnessed a 104 per cent increase in Q4 2014 compared to Q2 2009.
Golf Course Extension Road (GCER) is considered the southern part of Gurgaon. It has seen a 101 per cent rise in residential values in Q4 2014 compared to Q4 2010. Bharat Kalra of Buniyad Group says that the last stop of rapid metro would be at the beginning of GCER.
The locality is offering the right combination of residential and commercial development. Some of the reputed residential projects here include Ansal API’s Esencia, M3M’s Golf Estate, Pioneer Group’s Pioneer Park, Central Park, Emaar MGF’s Emerald Hills, Tata Housing’s Raisina and IREO’s Grand Arch. Prominent commercial projects here are Global Business Foyer, Paras Twin Towers, Suncity Business Park and Ninex Time Tower.
Gurgaon, Sectors 42 to 57
Located between HUDA City Center metro station and Sohna Road, these HUDA sectors primarily consist of group housing societies and plotted developments, the latter forming almost 70-80 per cent of the area.
Sector 42 and Sector 54 are the top performers in this stretch, witnessing a rise of 138 and 123 per cent in residential values respectively, in the latest quarter of 2014 compared to Q4 2010.
The primary reason for an increase in values here is the availability of land. While earlier, HUDA plots were available here at modest rates, now values have reached peak levels of about Rs 20,000 per sq ft or more, says Kalra.
DLF societies
There has been a consistent rise in DLF societies including DLF City, DLF City Phase-II, DLF City Phase-III and DLF City-Phase V. Of these, DLF City and DLF City Phase II have witnessed a 108 and 105 per cent rise in capital values respectively in Q4 2014 compared to Q4 2010 (refer to table above).

Other primary reasons for a spike in prices in these sectors are:
a) Proximity to metro
b) Setting up of social amenities such as hospitals and schools
c) Forms the central point of Gurgaon
d) Accessible from NH-8 highway and Sohna Road

Price Trend for Apartment in Sector-42 Gurgaon
Nirvana Country, located in Sector 50 has seen a spike of 108 per cent in values in Q4 2014 compared to Q1 2010. This project by Unitech can be accessed from Sohna Road and Golf Course Road.

Societies, thriving on the success sectors 42-57 are Park View City, Vatika City and Rosewood.
Vatika City has seen an increase of 134 per cent in Q4 2014 compared to Q4 2010.
