A crisp, weekly update on Gurgaon’s real estate market – These stories underscore how infrastructure, policy enforcement, and market dynamics are shaping investor sentiment—and where smart opportunities lie. Delivered every Thursday.
This Week’s 5 Key Highlights
1. “OC Approval Now Tied to Actual Access Roads in Gurgaon”
Summary: Haryana’s Industries & Commerce Minister announced that occupancy certificates (OCs) will now be denied if developers haven’t physically constructed the 24–30 m-wide access roads shown in project plans. Agencies like HSVP, GMDA, and TCP will conduct on-ground verifications before issuing OCs, targeting deceptive practices in project layouts.
Investor Takeaway: This enforces accountability and protects buyer interests—especially important for those investing in primary-sale flats or independent floors where infrastructure status may determine liveability and resale potential.
2. “Property Prices Near Dwarka Expressway Nearly Double in 4 Years”
Summary: PropEquity reports that property prices along the Dwarka Expressway have almost doubled—from ₹9,434/sq ft in 2020 to ₹18,668/sq ft in 2024. A 3BHK flat’s price range jumped from ₹1.8 cr (2022) to ₹2.6–4 cr (2024). Enhanced connectivity via the expressway and Urban Extension Road-II are key drivers. Further 15–20% growth is expected over the next two years, though affordability remains a concern.
Investor Takeaway: If you’re investing in primary-sale flats or plots here, fast appreciation potential is high—but be wary of rising ticket sizes pushing out mid-income buyers.
3. “Luxury Home Sales in NCR Up 9% in H1 2025; Gurgaon Leads the Way”
Summary: Despite a decline in overall housing sales in Delhi NCR, luxury home sales (₹5cr+) rose 9% YoY, reaching 5,168 units. Gurgaon contributed 91% of these sales, with corridors like SPR and Dwarka Expressway driving 61% of activity. Luxury now accounts for 27% of total sales, up from 19% in 2024.
Investor Takeaway: For buyers targeting ultra-premium belts like SPR or Dwarka Expressway, the luxury segment remains buoyant, powered by infrastructure and aspirational demand—a reminder to position for quality and location.
4. “FIR Filed Against Developer for Fraud in Affordable Housing Projects”
Summary: An FIR has been lodged against OSB Pvt Ltd and its director over alleged financial fraud in affordable housing sectors (Sectors 109, 69, 70). Claims include selling the same unit multiple times, fund diversion, and license violations. While collection stood at 95%, construction is stuck at 62.5%. Buyers are calling on HRERA to take over.
Investor Takeaway: Affordable primary-sale flats come with higher risk—due diligence is critical. Check developer track record, project compliance, and RERA responses before investing.
5. “Gurgaon Transforms into Mini-Venice Grappling with Waterlogging”
Summary: Recently, Gurgaon saw intense flooding within just four hours of rain, paralysing roads like NH-8 and Hero Honda Chowk—turning areas into “mini-Venice.” Urban planning flaws, blocked drainage, and unchecked real estate growth are cited as causes, prompting criticism of civic infrastructure.
Investor Takeaway: Ready-to-move flats in low-lying sectors must be scrutinized—ask for location elevation, drainage design, and developer-infrastructure coordination to avoid seasonal flooding risks.
Tip of the Week
With OCs now depending on actual access roads, always verify on-ground infrastructure before investing in independent floors or primary-sale flats—it’s no longer theory, it’s mandatory.
