Flagship projects under coverage

  • The Camellias — Resale benchmark for NCR ultra-luxury; sets the ceiling price.
  • DLF Privana South & West — 2023–25 launches; strongest primary-market absorption in Gurgaon.
  • DLF RHLC, Sector 63 — Aug 2026 wellness-luxury launch, ₹12 Cr+ ticket.

Where the group is genuinely strong

  • Deepest resale liquidity of any Indian developer — exit is rarely the constraint.
  • Land bank already paid for, so launch pricing is not distress-driven.
  • Maintenance arm (DLF Services) keeps 12-year-old stock institutionally leasable.

What we underwrite against

  • Launch pricing frequently front-loads 3 years of appreciation; entry timing matters more than selection.
  • Club and CAM charges on Privana-grade assets materially compress net yield.
