Prices of 6,000 sq ft luxury floors in South Delhi surge 105% in three years: Alternative Investment Fund
The price of luxury independent floors in South Delhi has risen as much as 105% in the last three years on the back of demand and investor interest, according to a report by Golden Growth Fund (GGF), a Category-II real estate focused Alternative Investment Fund (AIF).
With growing interest from startup founders and businessmen, South Delhi has emerged as an end-user destination with privacy and customised space as primary needs of these ultra-rich habitants. Its connectivity to the office hubs in Gurugram and Noida; and the airport adds to its appeal, it said.
According to the report, in Category-A colonies, between June 2022-June 2025, the average price for a 2500 sq. ft. floor has risen by approximately 100% from ₹8 to 11 crore to ₹16 to 22 crore while for a 6000 sq. ft. floor, the price has risen by 105% from ₹18 to 22 crore to ₹36 to 45 crore, it said.
In Category-B colonies, between June 2022-June 2025, the average price for a 2500 sq. ft. floor has risen by approximately 70% from ₹5 to 6.5 crore to ₹8.5 to 11crore while for a 3200 sq. ft. floor, the price has risen by approximately 64% from ₹8 to 11 crore to ₹13 to 18 crore, it noted.
'South Delhi is today the most premium real estate market with per sq. ft. rate in a Category-A colony ranging between ₹60,000- ₹90,000 and in Category-B colony between ₹36,000- ₹56,000 depending upon floor and colony,' said Ankur Jalan, CEO, Golden Growth Fund.
'The return on investment is another factor that has added to the growing interest,' he said.
In an earlier report, GGF said the redevelopment potential of South Delhi is worth ₹5.65 lakh crore across 42 MCD Regulated colonies with plots (occupied and vacant) in Category A and B colonies alone accounting for over ₹5.35 lakh crore.
'The real estate market in the last three years has been bullish. However, what separates South Delhi from the rest is the consistent demand, reliable and safe investment and substantial returns. Besides, it also boasts of safety of the asset against depreciation of capital,' Ankur Jalan said.
Some of the Category-A and B colonies are Mayfair Garden, Panchsheel Park N Block, Panchsheel Park S and E Blocks, Sadhana Enclave, Anand Niketan, Vasant Vihar, Shanti Niketan, Westend, Chankyapuri, Golf Links, JorBagh, Sundar Nagar, Maharani Bagh, Chirag Enclave, GK, Green Park, Gulmohar Park, Niti Bagh.

'HNIs, NRIs and family offices, who earlier invested in local properties without the cushion of compliance and safety, are making investments in AIFs that invest in these colonies. With returns as high as 18-20% without the hassle of maintenance, AIFs have opened a new avenue for these investors, Jalan said.
Golden Growth Fund is a category II Real Estate focussed Alternative Investment Fund (AIF), a unique financial vehicle specifically designed for real estate investments in South and Lutyens' Delhi, India's poshest colonies.

SEBI sees sharp rise in settlement pleas, collects over Rs 860 crore in FY25
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) received a record number of settlement applications in 2024-25, showing a clear trend of entities preferring to resolve disputes without prolonged litigation. According to the SEBI's latest annual report, the regulator received 703 settlement pleas during the year, a sharp rise from 434 in the previous financial year. Of these applications, 284 were resolved through settlement orders, while another 272 were either rejected, withdrawn, or returned. Through the cases that were settled, the SEBI collected Rs 798.87 crore as settlement charges and an additional Rs 64.84 crore as disgorgement charges. The settlement mechanism allows companies and individuals accused of violating securities laws to close cases by paying a fee and meeting certain conditions, rather than contesting them in court. The violations in these cases covered a wide range, including insider trading, fraudulent trading, Alternative Investment Funds (AIFs), mutual funds, and Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs). Alongside settlement cases, the SEBI also dealt with a large number of appeals during the year. A total of 533 new appeals were filed before the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) in 2024-25, compared with 821 in the previous year. Out of these, 422 appeals were disposed of, with most being dismissed. Around 73 per cent of appeals were rejected, 5 per cent were allowed, 10 per cent were upheld with modifications, 5 per cent were remanded, and 7 per cent were withdrawn. A majority of these appeals -- about 62 per cent -- related to violations of the Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices Regulations, 2003. At the same time, the SEBI's "difficult-to-recover" (DTR) dues rose to Rs 77,800 crore in 2024-25, compared to Rs 76,293 crore at the end of March 2024. These dues remain pending despite extensive recovery efforts. The SEBI clarified that classifying them as DTR is an administrative measure and does not prevent recovery officers from pursuing them if there are changes in circumstances.
