Sources said the local authority is not granting permission to construct on the plot due to its proximity to the ridge area.
ET had reported in May that Eleannt Enterprises had bought the plot in one of the costliest land deals in South Delhi.
'South Delhi has shown a considerable appetite for real estate. The fact that only a limited inventory comes into the market, especially from owners looking to monetise their assets, means they find both investors and end-users willing to pay a premium. This has led to unprecedented price appreciation. For example, transactions in Vasant Vihar currently are happening at around Rs 9–12 lakh per sq. yd,' said Ankur Jalan, CEO of Golden Growth Fund, a Category-II real estate-focused Alternative Investment Fund (AIF).
Recently, Golden Growth Fund (GGF) acquired a land parcel in Neeti Bagh in South Delhi.
The real estate potential of South Delhi, one of India's most upscale regions, is estimated at Rs 5.65 lakh crore.
Around 18,446 plots are available across the 42 Category A, B, and C colonies in South Delhi, with sizes ranging from 125 square yards to 1,750 square yards. The average price ranges between Rs 6–15 lakh per square yard, data showed.
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has classified all colonies in Delhi into eight categories—A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H.
Circle rates, property tax rates, and stamp duty charges for property registration are determined based on these categories.
The most lucrative colonies, those under Categories A and B, are mostly located in South Delhi.
Around 3,704 plots are available in the 13 Category A colonies, with sizes ranging from 200 sq. yd to 1,200 sq. yd. Approximately 12,720 plots are available in the 27 Category B colonies, with sizes ranging from 125 sq. yd to 1,750 sq. yd, according to the data.
Category A and B colonies include Mayfair Garden, Panchsheel Park (N, S, and E Blocks), Sadhna Enclave, Anand Niketan, Vasant Vihar, Shanti Niketan, Westend, Chanakyapuri, Golf Links, Jor Bagh, Sundar Nagar, Maharani Bagh, Chirag Enclave, Greater Kailash, Green Park, Gulmohar Park, and Niti Bagh, among others.

One-fifth of private TN polytechnic colleges opt out of admissions
CHENNAI: As many as 80 — or one-fifth — of the 401 private polytechnic colleges in Tamil Nadu have opted out of the admission process this academic year. The unprecedented development has brought to light the issues ailing polytechnic education — at private institutions in particular — where colleges and seats are aplenty, but takers few. According to officials of the Directorate of Technical Education (DoTE), of these 80 colleges, 35 have applied for permanent closure in the last two years, while the remaining have chosen not to admit students this year. 'Some of these colleges have failed to enrol students even in single-digit figures in the last three years. Hence, we have not asked them to join admissions,' said an official. Experts attribute the declining enrolment to the rising interest among students in engineering courses and the high fees charged by private polytechnic colleges. 'When a student can study a course in a government college for just Rs 2,500 a year, why would they want to spend Rs 30,000 in a private college,' said the principal of a private college in Coimbatore. P Selvaraj, secretary of the Consortium of Self-financing Professional, Arts and Science Colleges in TN, said private polytechnic colleges are struggling to fill even half their seats and operational costs are taking a toll on their survival.

TCS to lay off over 12,000 employees amid tech shift
Bengaluru/Mumbai: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), India's largest IT services firm, is set to shrink its workforce by about 2 per cent, a move that will affect over 12,000 employees, mostly at the middle and senior levels, over the next year. The decision, according to the sources, is aimed at making the company "future-ready and agile" in the face of rapidly evolving technologies and workplace models, as per the reports. TCS, which had a total headcount of 6.13 lakh employees as of June 2025, will implement the layoffs across various domains and geographies. Most of those impacted are expected to be at the middle and senior levels. Reports suggest that the decision is not being driven by cost-cutting or automation, but rather due to challenges in redeploying talent whose current roles no longer align with the company's evolving skill requirements. The company is focusing on large-scale deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) and other new technologies, which are reshaping demand across the IT sector. Although TCS clarified that AI is not directly replacing jobs, analysts believe that roles like manual testing are shrinking, and some senior professionals are struggling to adapt to newer, tech-driven environments. To support affected employees, the company is offering severance packages, extended insurance, notice period pay, and help with finding alternative job opportunities, according to the reports. The news comes shortly after TCS announced a net profit of Rs 12,760 crore for Q1 FY26 -- reflecting a year-on-year growth of 6 per cent. Revenue from operations rose 1.3 per cent to Rs 63,437 crore during the April-June quarter. The company also declared an interim dividend of Rs 11 per share. CEO K Krithivasan attributed the company's steady performance to strong deal closures and growing demand for new services, even as global macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties continue to impact client spending. He also highlighted the company's ongoing investments in the AI ecosystem, including infrastructure, data platforms, and business applications. TCS now has over 1.14 lakh employees trained in advanced AI skills, and during the quarter alone, associates spent 15 million hours upgrading themselves in emerging technologies.
