DLF’s The Camellias Registers ₹270 Crore in Ultra-Luxury Property Transactions

DLF’s The Camellias Registers ₹270 Crore in Ultra-Luxury Property Transactions

Gurugram’s ultra-luxury housing market continues to set new benchmarks. DLF’s flagship project, The Camellias, recorded four high-value property registrations worth a combined ₹270 crore in September 2025, according to data accessed by CRE Matrix.

The transactions included two primary sales of penthouses directly from DLF and two secondary-market deals. This brings out both investor confidence and end-user demand for India’s most coveted residential address.

A 14,830 sq ft penthouse, originally sold to Rahul Talwar and Ashna Vijay Chopra in 2015 for ₹59.64 crore, was recently registered with a stamp duty of ₹3.57 crore. The residence includes five parking spaces, as per CRE Matrix records dated September 15, 2025.

Another 13,035 sq ft penthouse, sold in 2021 to Chandrika Thatai for ₹51.17 crore, was registered on September 26, 2025. The deal carried a stamp duty of ₹2.55 crore and includes five parking spaces. Thatai, a fashion accessories entrepreneur and home textile exporter, is among the growing list of successful entrepreneurs investing in DLF’s marquee property.

In the secondary market, Rachna Sawhney sold a 7,361 sq ft apartment to Parmeet Singh Chadha and Gurminder Kaur Chadha for ₹65 crore. The deal, registered on September 24, 2025, attracted a stamp duty of ₹3.90 crore and came with four parking spaces. The apartment is reportedly valued at ₹85–90 crore, reflecting the property’s strong appreciation potential.

In another high-profile deal, Pioneer Urban Land and Infrastructure Limited acquired a 9,419 sq ft apartment from Anuradha Duggal for ₹95 crore. Registered on September 29, 2025, the deal carried a stamp duty of ₹6.65 crore and includes five parking slots. The transaction underscores continued institutional and corporate interest in luxury real estate as a long-term asset.

Located on Golf Course Road in Gurugram, DLF The Camellias represents the pinnacle of ultra-luxury living in India. With expansive layouts, private terraces, world-class amenities, and panoramic views of the Aravalli Hills, the project has become a magnet for India’s elite — from industrialists and business leaders to celebrities and investors.

The property consistently commands among the highest price points per square foot in the country, often exceeding ₹1 lakh per sq ft for prime units. This demand surge highlights a broader trend: the resilience and growth of India’s luxury housing segment, even amid broader market fluctuations.

The recent ₹270 crore worth of registrations at The Camellias are not just isolated high-value deals; they signify a deeper shift in India’s real estate market. Affluent buyers are increasingly prioritizing lifestyle, exclusivity, and asset value, while developers like DLF continue to raise the bar in design and luxury experience.

As India’s wealth base expands, ultra-luxury projects like The Camellias are expected to remain the preferred choice for both long-term investors and end-users seeking unmatched comfort, security, and prestige.

India’s Housing Market in H1 2025: Luxury Takes the Lead

India’s Housing Market in H1 2025

India’s residential real estate market in the first half of 2025 presented a compelling paradox — record sales value alongside declining volume. It clearly highlights a shift toward premium and luxury homes while affordable markets struggle to find traction.

A Strong Value Story: ₹3.6 Lakh Crore Record Sales

According to the CREDAI-CRE India Housing Report for H1 CY’25, Tier-1 Indian cities collectively clocked housing sales worth a record ₹3.6 lakh crore in the first half of 2025 — a 9% increase in value compared with H1 2024 — even though the number of units sold fell around 4%.

Higher ticket sizes drove this value growth — the average unit price rose 14% YoY to ₹1.42 Cr, as buyers gravitated toward larger, better-located properties.

This dynamic underscores an important trend: value is outpacing volume — India’s real estate story is increasingly about premium positioning rather than sheer unit sales.

Regional Dynamics: Where Demand Is Most Intense

National Capital Region (NCR): A Powerful Leader

The NCR remained the top market by sales value in H1 2025 with a 26% share, fueled heavily by luxury homes priced above ₹3 crore.

Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR): Premium on the Rise

MMR maintained a strong position with a 23% revenue share, signaling continued demand in India’s traditional marquee market.

Southern Powerhouses: Unit Sales Outpace NCR

In unit terms, Southern India — especially Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad — led the pack, surpassing the NCR in the number of units sold, though not always in value.

This divergence — South leading in volume, NCR and Mumbai driving value — points to diversified demand dynamics across regions.

Luxury Accelerates; Affordable Struggles

One of the most notable shifts seen in multiple markets is the surge of high-end housing.

Hyderabad’s Market: Luxury at the Helm

In Hyderabad, flats priced above ₹3 crore accounted for more than a third of total sales value, making it the second costliest housing market in India after NCR.

By contrast, affordable housing, under ₹70 lakh, accounted for just ~3% of value, showing how scarcity in the lower end has reshaped demand patterns.

Overall Premium Surge

Across Tier-1 cities:

  • Luxury and premium homes drove value growth.
  • Average ticket sizes climbed significantly.
  • Developers responded with fewer launches but more aspirational inventory.

This confirms a buyer preference shift toward quality and lifestyle over basic affordability, a key narrative in 2025’s housing landscape.

₹1 Crore in Mumbai: How Much Space Can Homebuyers Actually Get

₹1 crore home in Mumbai

Mumbai’s real estate market remains India’s most expensive, with prime locations recording apartment prices of nearly ₹3 lakh per square foot. For homebuyers working with a ₹1 crore budget, options in premium neighbourhoods are extremely limited.

According to an analysis by CRE Matrix in its report, How Much Sqft Can You Buy in Mumbai for ₹1 Cr.?, which examined property transactions across 60 micro-markets in Mumbai during 2024, a ₹1 crore budget can buy just 73 sq ft in Malabar Hill, one of South Mumbai’s most premium residential areas. In Worli, the same budget covers roughly 100 sq ft, while Bandra offers around 124 sq ft—roughly the size of a compact bedroom.

How Much Space ₹1 Crore Buys in South and Central Mumbai

Other prime localities also offer limited space for ₹1 crore. In Lower Parel, buyers get about 136 sq ft, while Prabhadevi offers around 138 sq ft. Tardeo and Juhu provide marginally larger homes at approximately 147 sq ft and 172 sq ft, respectively.

Neighbourhoods such as Colaba, Dadar, Santacruz, and Khar fall in a similar bracket, offering roughly 174 to 200 sq ft within the same budget. These figures underline how central and South Mumbai continue to command premium pricing despite limited apartment sizes.

Suburban Markets Offer Better Value for ₹1 Crore

The stark contrast becomes evident as buyers move toward Mumbai’s suburban markets. In western suburbs like Andheri, Goregaon, Malad, Kandivali, Borivali, and Dahisar, ₹1 crore can fetch homes ranging between 270 and 530 sq ft. These areas continue to attract mid-income homebuyers due to relatively better space affordability and improved connectivity.

Eastern and Central Suburbs: More Space Within the Same Budget

Eastern and central suburbs offer comparable value. Localities including Ghatkopar, Wadala, Kurla, Sion, Chembur, Mulund, Vikhroli, Powai, Kanjurmarg, and Bhandup typically offer 280 to 500 sq ft homes within a ₹1 crore budget. These markets remain popular with working professionals due to proximity to business hubs and transport networks.

Most Affordable Areas in Mumbai for ₹1 Crore Homes

At the more affordable end of the spectrum, neighbourhoods such as Dharavi, Asalpha, Kurla, and Govandi offer the largest home sizes for the same budget. Here, ₹1 crore can secure 540 to 680 sq ft, highlighting the sharp affordability divide between South Mumbai and the city’s peripheral markets.

Additional Costs to Budget for When Buying a ₹1 Crore Home

Beyond the purchase price, buyers must factor in additional costs. Real estate consultants advise budgeting an extra 10% to 20% of the property value for expenses such as stamp duty, registration charges, development fees, and GST for under-construction properties.

Interior and furnishing costs may add another 10% to 15% of the total property value. Even in cases where banks fund a high percentage of the agreement value, homebuyers should be prepared with sufficient liquidity to manage these ancillary expenses.
