NEW DELHI: The sale of the entire luxury project in Gurugram, which included 1,137 apartments costing at least Rs 7 crore each, was announced by real estate giant DLF Ltd. on Thursday. This sale, which took place in just three days, raised over Rs 8,000 crore.
DLF CEO Ashok Tyagi and group executive director Aakash Ohri described the USD 1 billion in sales bookings in such a short period of time as “historical” and “a record” in the Indian residential real estate market in an interview with PTI.
Tyagi responded that DLF’s total sales bookings for the current fiscal year would be closer to Rs 15,000 crore than Rs 7,273 crore.

Over the next four years, it will only construct five towers totaling 38–39 stories on this 25-acre project.
According to Ohri, the business received applications from about 3,600 clients.
“We allotted flats through lottery system,” he said, noting that the purchasers had already paid a booking fee of Rs 800 crore.
Ohri emphasized that the majority of end users—typically the top and senior executives of major corporations—had purchased about 90% of the apartments.
NRIs (non-resident Indians) accounted for 14% of total sales.
Ohri responded, “It is the latent demand for the DLF product,” when asked what was causing the high demand.According to Ohri, the company initially planned to sell only 45% of its units in this quarter and the remaining units in the two following quarters.
