Delhi NCR residential property prices up 81% in five years: Report
Prices of residential properties have in five years increased by an average 81 per cent in Delhi NCR where Greater Noida reported the biggest surge, said a report by real consultancy firm Anarock on Thursday. Average residential prices in the Delhi NCR (National Capital Region) market increased to Rs 8,300 per sq ft in the first quarter (Q1) of 2025 compared to Rs 4,580 per sq ft in Q1 2020, as reforms like the Real Estate Regulation Act (Rera), 2016, and the Special Window for Affordable and Mid-Income Housing Fund helped standardise the real estate market. The property market in NCR has evolved in the past decade and many peripheral areas have emerged as attractive housing destinations, said Santhosh Kumar, vice-chairman at Anarock group. Greater Noida recorded the highest residential price surge at 98 per cent, with prices reaching Rs 6,600 per sq ft in Q1 2025 compared to Rs 3.340 per sq ft in Q1 2020. It was followed by Noida which saw a 92 per cent rise in prices: from Rs 4,795 per sq ft in 2020 to Rs 9,200 per sq ft in the current year. Residential property prices in Gurugram reached Rs 11,300 per sq ft in Q1 2025 from Rs 6,150 per sq ft in Q1 2020, recording a price appreciation of 84 per cent. The report said that as prices increased, unsold inventory in Delhi NCR dropped by 51 per cent: from 173,117 units by the end of Q1 2020 to 84,500 units by Q1 2025. Noida recorded the highest 72 per cent decline in its overall unsold stock: from 18,148 units in Q1 2020 to 5,012 in Q1 2025. Ghaziabad and Greater Noida clocked a 58 per cent and 56 per cent decline in unsold inventory in the five-year period. Kumar said that strong sales and new launches reduced the 'inventory overhang' in the NCR market to just 17 months at the end of Q1 2025, compared to the peak of 88 months about five years ago. The NCR residential market saw new supplies of 53,000 units in 2024, almost 44 per cent more than the year before. Luxury, ultra-luxury housing gained most traction in Delhi NCR over last 3 years Luxury homes The report said that the Delhi NCR market for residential properties has changed budget wise in the last three to four years. While affordable units costing less than Rs 40 lakh dominated the supply pipeline before the pandemic, luxury and ultra-luxury homes dominate now. Affordable housing units comprised only 11 per cent of total NCR launches in 2024 compared to 62 per cent in 2020. The ultra-luxury segment, comprising units priced more than Rs 2.5 crore, contributed nearly 59 per cent of the total Delhi NCR housing inventory in 2024 compared to 4 per cent in 2020. The report attributed the sustained demand for ultra-luxury properties to the robust performance of capital markets, resulting in increased disposable wealth. 'Consequently, there is a heightened aspiration to elevate one's living standards by acquiring superior residential accommodations along with an aspiration for unparalleled amenities,' it said. Anarock said that with core areas in NCR saturating and connectivity improving, 'peripheral locations' are expected to experience significant growth in demand and supply in the near future. 'Key growth corridors such as Sohna, New Gurgaon, Dwarka Expressway and Greater Noida West are attractive destinations offering multiple housing options along with office and retail developments.'

Man pledges fake gold, dupes SBI of 7 Lakh
Meerut: An FIR was registered on Sunday after the State Bank of India (SBI) branch in Sarurpur village, Meerut, suffered a loss of over Rs 7 lakh when a man secured loans using fake gold jewellery. According to the bank, the accused, Mohd Nazim — a resident of Meerut — took a loan of Rs 5.7 lakh in 2015 by mortgaging jewellery that was later found to be mostly silver. In 2018, he secured another loan, bringing the total disbursed amount to nearly Rs 11 lakh. However, a recent assessment found the pledged ornaments to be worth only Rs 3.7 lakh, causing a loss of Rs 7.2 lakh to the bank. Bank manager Aditya (who goes by his first name only) said the jewellery had been certified by a well-known jeweller from Meerut's Sarafa Bazaar, and the bank had relied on that purity certificate, which turned out to be fake. SP (Rural) Rakesh Kumar Mishra said, "An FIR has been registered against both the borrower and the jeweller under IPC section 420 (cheating), 406(cfriminal breach of trust ) at Sarurpur police station. We are investigating and expect a breakthrough soon."

Government disputes Vijay Mallya claims on loan repayment and outstanding dues
NEW DELHI: Govt and banks have called out Vijay Mallya 's claims of being harassed by lenders despite having cleared their outstanding debts, arguing that the bankrupt businessman still owes a large amount of money to creditors. When the case was filed in the debt recovery tribunal in June 2013, the consolidated non-performing (NPA) outstanding of Kingfisher Airlines was pegged at Rs 6,848 crore, which included non-cumulative redeemable preference shares. Including the accrued interest and other charges of Rs 10,933 crore, according to the DRT decree, the total liability due to the creditors added up to Rs 17,781 crore as of April 10. Against this, banks have recovered Rs 10,815 crore, leaving them with a gap of Rs 6,997 crore, which is yet to be recovered, govt sources said. Mallya claimed that he paid Rs 14,000 crore to banks against loans of Rs 6,200 crore. Any loan comes with interest until the amount is fully paid. In the case of loan defaulters, such as Mallya, there is also a penal interest. The flamboyant businessman, known to live life king-size, seems to have based his claims on clearing the principal, and not the outstanding. The fugitive, who is seeking to block his return to India to face legal action, made similar claims in the past. With Mallya fleeing the country, banks stepped up efforts to recover their dues and were permitted by PMLA courts to sell the property that was attached by enforcement agencies on execution of a bond with the condition that in case of acquittal of the borrowers, the lenders would return the assets. Banks have sold a majority of the properties, including the famous Kingfisher Villa in Goa, and recovered Rs 10,815 crore. Sources said that the recovery process is in line with the board-approved policies of banks. "The norms are uniform irrespective of who the borrower is or from which part of the country or community he or she comes from. So, any allegation or claim made by Vijay Mallya regarding recoveries under any undue influence or under media pressure or due to an inherent bias against him is misconstrued and completely baseless," said a source. The loans to Kingfisher, which were restructured by some of the lenders, are also under the scanner with senior executives such as former IDBI Bank chief Yogesh Agarwal also arrested by CBI for alleged irregularities.
