DLF’s ₹17,000 Cr Housing Plans in FY26: Soaring Demand for Luxury Real Estate in India

India’s top real estate developer, DLF, is making a strong push in the luxury housing segment, with plans to launch new residential projects worth over ₹17,000 crore in FY26.

The company’s aggressive expansion strategy follows its record-breaking sales and a growing appetite for high-end homes among the HNIs. Case in point is the rising interest from celebrity buyers like ex-cricketer Shikhar Dhawan, who recently purchased a ₹69 crore apartment in DLF’s prestigious Gurugram project, The Dahlias.

With the focus firmly on DLF’s luxury offerings, the company’s plans for the next financial year point to continued momentum in India’s premium residential market.

Big Buy Puts Luxury Homes in Focus

Shikhar Dhawan is the latest in a long list of VIPs who are investing big-time in the Indian real estate market. He booked a 6,040 sq ft apartment in The Dahlias, located on Gurugram’s Golf Course Road, for a whopping ₹69 crore. Registered in February 2025, the transaction includes a base cost of ₹65.61 crore and stamp duty of ₹3.28 crore, making it one of India’s most high-profile luxury home purchases to date.

The Dahlias is DLF’s second super-luxury project after The Camellias and features 420 ultra-luxury apartments and penthouses spread across 17 acres.

Record Sales in FY25 Fuel Ambitious FY26 Pipeline

However, these projects are just the latest in a long list of DLF’s coveted developments.

The company’s strong performance in FY25 lays the foundation for its bullish outlook. DLF reported ₹21,223 crore in sales bookings, up 44% from ₹14,778 crore in the previous year. Net profit stood at ₹4,366.82 crore, with total income rising to ₹8,995.89 crore.

The developer launched 7.5 million sq ft of new projects during the year, with an estimated revenue potential of ₹40,600 crore, and sold 5 million sq ft for ₹19,344 crore. A major share of this success came from NCR, especially The Dahlias.

What’s Coming in FY26?

Riding this high, DLF has set a sales guidance of ₹20,000–₹22,000 crore in FY26. The company is preparing to launch multiple projects across key markets, including:

• Privana North, Gurugram – Launching Q1 FY26
• DLF’s Mumbai Housing Project – Also launching in Q1 FY26, marking DLF’s entry into India’s financial capital
• The Dahlias Phase 2 – Set for Q3 FY26
• DLF’s Goa Project – Expected in the second half of FY26

In total, around 15% of DLF’s medium-term launch pipeline (about 37 million sq ft) is planned for FY26. Over the next few years, this could generate a total revenue of ₹1.14 lakh crore, reinforcing DLF’s leadership in the luxury housing segment.

According to Aakash Ohri, Joint MD & CBO, the company’s stellar reputation, steady launch pipeline, and the market’s consistent demand make it well-positioned for sustainable growth.

What It Means for Homebuyers and Investors

DLF’s upcoming launches and the buzz created by high-profile purchases are consistent signs of the growing preference among India’s affluent buyers for branded, ultra-luxury residences. With projects in prime city locations and a strong sales track record, DLF is clearly focused on serving a niche but expanding market of high-net-worth individuals and investors.

For those looking to invest in premium properties or find their next dream home in the NCR, the new launches represent a good opportunity.
