Prices of South Delhi luxury independent floors up 105% in 3 yrs: Report
Category A colonies such as Mayfair Garden and Panchsheel Park represent places with the highest circle rates, according to the report by Golden Growth Fund, a real-estate-focused alternate investment fund (AIF). Category B comprises colonies like Andrews Ganj and Defence Colony – places where circle rates fall between the highest (Category A) and lower categories.
In Category A colonies, the average price for a 2,500-square-feet floor increased almost 100 per cent in three years: from Rs 8-11 crore to Rs 16-22 crore. The price for a 6000-square-feet floor rose by 105 per cent: from Rs 18-22 crore to Rs 36-45 crore.
In Category B colonies, the average price for a 2,500-square-feet floor grew 70 per cent: from Rs 5-6.5 crore to Rs 8.5-11 crore. A 3,200-square-feet floor's price increased 64 per cent: Rs 8-11 crore to Rs 13-18 crore.
Ankur Jalan, chief executive officer of Golden Growth Fund, said South Delhi offers privacy and customised space to ultra-rich people like startup founders. 'South Delhi's connectivity to the office hubs in Gurugram and Noida and the airport adds to its appeal. The excellent return on investment is another factor that has added to the growing interest,' he said.
Experts have said that HNIs, non-resident Indians and family offices, who earlier invested in local properties without the cushion of compliance and safety, are making investments in AIFs that invest in affluent colonies.
Jalan said that with returns as high as 18 per cent to 20 per cent, AIFs have opened a new avenue for these investors.
Golden Growth's report said South Delhi is one of India's most premium real estate markets, with per square feet rate in a Category A colony ranging between Rs 60,000 to Rs 90,000 and in Category B colony between Rs 36,000 to Rs 56,000 depending upon floor and colony.
The fund previously said the redevelopment potential of South Delhi is worth Rs 5.65 trillion across 42 regulated colonies overseen by the Municipal Council of Delhi (MCD), with occupied and vacant plots in Category A and B colonies alone accounting for over Rs 5.35 trillion.
Jalan said that while the real estate market is bullish, South Delhi stands out for consistent demand, reliable investment and substantial returns.

HCLTech CEO C Vijayakumar earns $10.85 mn in FY25; more than TCS, Infosys heads
Agency: New Delhi, Aug 2 (PTI) HCLTech CEO C Vijayakumar earned USD 10.85 million (about Rs 94.6 crore) in the financial year 2024-25, making him one of the highest-paid executives in the Indian IT sector and surpassing the earnings of chiefs at larger rivals TCS and Infosys. The company's board has also approved an over 71 per cent increase in his current remuneration to USD 18.6 million (about Rs 154 crore) for the next financial year, according to the company's annual report. Vijayakumar's FY25 compensation places him ahead of his peers at India's top two IT firms. For the same period, TCS CEO K Krithivasan's remuneration was Rs 26.52 crore, while Infosys CEO Salil Parekh earned Rs 80.62 crore. Vijayakumar's earnings also topped those of Wipro CEO Srinivas Pallia (USD 6.2 million or about Rs 53.64 crore) and Tech Mahindra CEO Mohit Joshi (Rs 53.9 crore). According to HCLTech's annual report, Vijayakumar's total remuneration in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, comprised a base salary of USD 1.96 million and a performance-linked bonus of USD 1.73 million. The largest portion of his earnings came from long-term incentives, with exercised Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) valued at USD 6.96 million. An additional USD 0.20 million was provided in benefits and perquisites. Vijayakumar, who took over as the CEO in 2016, is based in the US and draws his remuneration from HCL America Inc., the firm's wholly-owned US subsidiary. 'Under C. Vijayakumar's leadership, HCLTech's market capitalisation has increased from Rs 1,15,000 crore on March 31, 2016, to Rs 4,32,000 crore on March 31, 2025, reflecting a growth of 3.8 times since FY16. Over the same period, the market capitalisation of the other four leading Indian listed IT services firms among the top five has grown by approximately 2.5 times," the company said. The company's board has approved a revised remuneration package for Vijayakumar, effective April 1, 2025. The proposed annual salary is set at USD 18.6 million, marking a 71 per cent increase from his FY25 earnings. The proposed structure significantly increases both fixed and performance-linked components. 'The revised compensation acknowledges C Vijayakumar's successful and long-tenured leadership as CEO, recognising his significant contributions to the company's growth and sustained performance over the years," the report said. HCL Technologies posted a 9.7 per cent drop to Rs 3,843 crore in consolidated net profit for the June quarter, hurt by higher expenses and one-time impact of a client bankruptcy, but raised the lower end of revenue growth outlook for the full fiscal to 3-5 per cent (from 2-5 per cent earlier) on booking expectations in coming quarters. Shares of HCLTech settled 0.98 per cent lower at Rs 1,452.95 apiece on the BSE on Friday.

Second attempt: Workation hubs on cards at Morjim, Ashwem, Colva
Panaji: The Goa Information Technology Development Corporation (GITDC) has announced plans to set up workation hubs at Morjim, Ashwem and Colva as part of a fresh initiative to attract digital nomads and remote-working tourists to the state's coastal belt. The project will be implemented through a public-private partnership and the GITDC has begun scouting for private investors to design, build, finance, and operate the hubs for 20 years. After the concession period is completed, ownership of the structure will be handed over to govt. The concession period may be extended by an additional 10 years, subject to performance criteria outlined in the concession agreement, said officials. Classified as multi-utility structures, these will serve as co-working spaces as well as a lounge with showers for travellers who wish to combine work with leisure. The facilities will be designed to cater to the growing segment of digital nomads, freelancers, and remote-working professionals seeking an integrated 'work-vacation' lifestyle in Goa. Under the proposed model, the private concessionaire will bear the full cost of construction and development, in line with the designs, specifications, and regulatory requirements set out in the Request for Proposal (RFP). With this move, GITDC aims to enable local economic activity through sustainable tourism infrastructure. Morjim, Ashwem, and Colva are popular beaches that attract a steady influx of international and domestic tourists. In 2022, the IT department had outlined a proposal to promote a workation (work and vacation) concept by spending about Rs 11 crore on co-working spaces on the beach. However, due to objections, the proposal lost steam. The scope of the project included developing all allied facilities essential for a fully functional workation hub, including seating areas, high-speed internet infrastructure, collaborative zones, and ancillary amenities that support a productive yet relaxed work environment.
