Luxury Homes as Long-term Wealth: Why NCR Remains A Safe Bet
Luxury housing in NCR has evolved far beyond its earlier identity as a symbol of prestigeits now viewed as a reliable wealth-preserving asset. In a time when global markets are fluctuating and traditional investments are facing volatility, luxury real estate in NCR stands out for its steady appreciation and dependable rental yields. Affluent buyers and investors increasingly view these properties not merely as indulgences, but as tangible, inflation-proof assets. Whether in Gurugrams high-growth corridors or Noidas emerging luxury zones, new-age homes today represent financial stability, lifestyle security, and a long-term hedge against uncertainty. Luxury residences in NCR stand tall as timeless symbols of stability, prestige, and long-term wealth What gives NCR its enduring edge is the strength of its locations and the quality of life they offer. Gurugram, Noida, Delhi, and hubs such as Dwarka Expressway and Siddharth Vihar have become synonymous with modern luxury, defined by world-class infrastructure, excellent connectivity, and a cosmopolitan way of living. The regions rapid urban evolution, coupled with strong corporate presence and lifestyle amenities, continues to attract diversified buyers seeking both comfort and capital growth. Yukti Nagpal, Director, Gulshan Nagpal says, Luxury real estate in NCRparticularly in the NoidaGreater Noida corridorhas transitioned from being viewed as an indulgence to becoming a strategic wealth creation asset. Todays discerning buyers, including millennials and global Indians, seek homes that blend timeless design with enduring value. In prime sectors along the Noida Expressway, weve consistently witnessed growth in both resale and rental appreciation, reinforcing the confidence that luxury homes here are not just aspirational investments, but enduring financial assets. The narrative has clearly evolvedbuyers are no longer acquiring square footage; they are investing in a legacy of lifestyle, location, and long-term security . The CBRE-ASSOCHAM report highlights that Indias luxury segment grew 85% year-on-year, with Delhi NCR leading the charge, recording nearly 4,000 luxury unit salesa threefold annualised jump. Property values in Noida and Greater Noida have mirrored this momentum, rising over 92% in five years, with Greater Noida alone seeing a 98% price increase, signalling strong capital appreciation potential for investors. Prateek Group in the Noida-Ghaziabad region exemplifies this balance, setting benchmarks for refined living and steady long-term appreciation. With its projects like Prateek Grand Begonia in Siddharth Vihar, Ghaziabad, the project offers a rare combination: a desirable lifestyle today and a resilient, wealth-building asset for tomorrow. On the other hand, Prateek Canary in Noidas Sector-150 stands as a benchmark of aspirational living, designed for families who wish to pass down not just a home, but a symbol of refined luxury and timeless elegance. Its low-density design, resort-style club amenities, and expansive balconies overlooking lush greens reflect a deep understanding of modern, multi-generational lifestyles. Yash Miglani, Managing Director, Migsun Group , says, The luxury segment in Noida-Greater Noida has emerged as a safe harbour for wealth creation. Unlike speculative markets, NCRs top micro-locations are witnessing end-user-led demand, ensuring sustainable growth. Whats noteworthy is that luxury buyers are increasingly end-users themselvesprofessionals who value design, comfort, and community living while being mindful of long-term capital appreciation. That combination makes this market incredibly resilient . According to JLL, the luxury housing market in Delhi NCR continues to demonstrate remarkable growth. In the first half of 2025, sales touched 5,168 units, reflecting an 8.5% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Gurugram emerged as the dominant contributor, accounting for 91% of NCRs luxury sales and securing 65% of high-end home transactions across Indias top seven cities. Within Gurugram, corridors like Southern Peripheral Road and Dwarka Expressway alone drove 61% of luxury sales, underscoring the importance of prime micro-markets. Saurab Saharan, Group Managing Director, HCBS Developments says, The narrative of Gurugrams luxury real estate is inseparable from the rise of Dwarka Expressway. Today, it stands out as a prime destination for buyers seeking a blend of refined living and long-term investment security. As developers, weve observed a growing preference for smart, secure, and amenity-rich residences along this corridor. Coupled with the rapid development of social infrastructure, Dwarka Expressway is not just enhancing lifestyle standards but also strengthening capital appreciation potential. From our perspective, this corridor will remain a catalyst for Gurugrams luxury market, driving both premium living and sustainable wealthcreation. Rising interest from HNIs and NRIs, combined with a growing preference for tangible, high-value assets, has kept demand consistently high. Branded, well-positioned developments continue to outperform expectations, delivering strong capital appreciation alongside attractive rental yields. Ajay Tyagi, Chief Sales Officer, Better Choice Realtors , says, Gurugrams luxury market has transitioned from being aspirational to asset-based. The confluence of infrastructure expansion, corporate hubs, and international-standard developments ensures sustained demand. Besides, investors today are keenly aware that a premium address in Gurugram, be it along Golf Course Extension Road or Dwarka Expressway, delivers both prestige and predictable ROI. Hence, we foresee luxury here becoming a serious portfolio component, not just a lifestyle statement. Thus, beyond offering world-class living experiences, premium properties in Gurugram, Noida, and emerging hubs like Dwarka Expressway and Siddharth Vihar provide investors with a reliable store of value. The market continues to draw discerning buyers who are not just seeking a home, but a long-term asset that combines capital security with an elevated lifestyle. In this way, luxury real estate in NCR remains a compelling avenue for those looking to preserve and grow wealth over decades.

Three suspected criminals caught after police encounter in west Delhi
NEW DELHI: Three men with a history of serious criminal offences were injured in an exchange of fire with police in west Delhi's Nangloi area in the early hours of Saturday, police said. Earlier this week, they fired on a police patrol team in Nangloi while fleeing after a botched burglary attempt, they said. According to police, around 3.35 am on Saturday, they spotted the suspects near Prem Nagar Crossing following inputs that armed men on a motorcycle were in the area, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outer) Sachin Sharma said. When the police team signalled them to stop for verification, the trio tried to escape but their motorcycle skidded. They opened indiscriminate fire at the police team, prompting retaliatory action, he said. During the exchange of fire, the accused sustained bullet injuries in their legs, while Sub-Inspector Yogender and Head Constable Vikas Kumar escaped unhurt as the bullets hit their bulletproof jackets, the officer said. Firoz alias Sajid (32), Md Kamran alias Shahrukh alias Md Sharif (38) and Osaf Ali (48), all residents of Loni in Ghaziabad, were apprehended after the encounter. The injured accused were taken to Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital in Mangolpuri where they are undergoing treatment, police said. Police recovered one country-made pistol, two .32-bore pistols, four live cartridges and five empty shells from their possession. The weapons have been sent for forensic examination. Earlier on October 22, the same trio had allegedly opened fire on a police patrol near Mangolpuri flyover after being intercepted in a suspicious car while attempting to break into a hardware shop in Nangloi. When challenged, the suspects fled in the car, he said, adding that a hot chase ensued. After chasing around 5 km, the patrolling bike ran parallel to the fleeing car and warned the occupants to stop. However, one of the accused persons in the co-driver seat opened fire on the chasing police party near Mangolpuri flyover, he added. A police officer challenged them by firing two rounds, during which one bullet hit the car forcing the suspects to abandon the car and escape while firing bullets on the police team. A case was registered in connection with that incident, and multiple teams were formed to track down the accused using technical surveillance and eyewitness inputs. The accused have a long criminal history, including cases of robbery, dacoity, kidnapping for ransom and offences under the Arms Act. In 2017, while fleeing after committing dacoity, Firoz allegedly fired at the police with the intention to kill, police said. The officer added that the crime scene has been inspected by the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) and Crime Team, and further investigation is underway. Appropriate legal action has been initiated in connection with the latest encounter, police said.

IBRF, a Delhi-based research firm, also reported a major increase in sales of around 15-20% in the luxury market and with new inventory being launched for mid-segment buyers in regions like Yamuna Expressway, Wave City (NH-24, Ghaziabad) and in Greater Noida, this segment itself saw a surge of over 25% during the Diwali festive season. The buying spree is being driven by policy stability, strong sentiment, and festive enthusiasm. Developers say enquiries are translating into quicker bookings, especially for ready or near-possession homes. Policy Boost: Repo Stability and GST Sentiment Spur Demand Two macro triggers are fuelling this momentum repo rate stability and the sentiment around GST rationalisation. The Reserve Bank of Indias decision to maintain a steady rate environment, coupled with expectations of future cuts, has boosted buyer confidence. Renewed discussions on GST relief for under-construction homes have also lifted sentiment. Low interest rates and positive economic cues, including the recent repo rate stability and GST relief sentiment, have encouraged fence-sitters to act , says Yukti Nagpal, Director, Gulshan Group . This years festive cycle has outperformed expectations, with sales and bookings already up by around 20-30% compared to the same period last year. The luxury segment, particularly in Noida-Greater Noida, is dominating festive demand. Homebuyers are stepping into this segment with confidence, aided by flexible payment plans and improved financing options. Were also seeing faster decision-making and bulk festive bookings both by investors and buyers; a sharp shift from the cautious approach seen in previous festive seasons. Overall, this festive cycle reflects a maturing market where aspiration, financial prudence, and lifestyle priorities are harmoniously driving Indias real estate momentum. Bhupindra Singh, COO, RISE Infraventures , says, This festive season, Delhi-NCRs real estate market has seen a noticeable rise in sales and bookings, particularly in mid and premium housing segments. Developers attribute this growth to festive sentiment, well-timed project launches, and attractive pricing. The recent GST cuts on key construction materials like cement, bricks, and ready-mix concrete are expected to lower construction costs by 35%, potentially easing home prices slightly for buyers. Combined with festival-driven enthusiasm, these measures are encouraging end-users and investors to act promptly. Overall, the festive season and favorable GST reforms are driving strong demand, giving new and upcoming projects a boost in Delhi-NCR . Luxury Leads the Festive Momentum Luxury and upper-mid housing have emerged as the clear winners this season. Transaction values have surged, reflecting buyers shift towards larger, amenity-rich homes backed by rising incomes and lifestyle aspirations. This festive season has brought renewed optimism to the real estate sector, with strong momentum across enquiries and bookings , says Rajjath Goel, MD, MRG Group . Weve seen a clear revival in buyer confidence, supported by favourable repo rate cues and expectations around policy rationalisation. Homebuyers today are making more decisive purchase decisions, recognising real estate as a secure and appreciating asset. Interestingly, demand for premium and upper mid-segment housing has strengthened, driven by aspirations for spacious, well-designed homes with modern amenities. Theres also a visible rise in NRI participation, with festive offers and new launches serving as key catalysts. Overall, the season is setting a positive tone for sustained growth in the residential segment, especially in markets like Gurugram and Dwarka Expressway . A spokesperson for Bayside Corporations (BCS), a leading luxury holiday home seller, stated, This festive season has seen an encouraging rise in both serious enquiries and confirmed sales, especially in the holiday home and second-home segments. Destinations like Goa and Kasauli have emerged as sought-after choices amongst affluent buyers looking for leisure-driven investments and weekend retreats. Were witnessing a distinct trend of clients seeking well-managed, resort-style homes that blend lifestyle with long-term appreciation potential. Demand for such homes has remained robust during the holiday season, reaffirming faith in India's high-end leisure housing market . NRI Interest and the Emotional Quotient Developers note a visible spike in NRI-led demand, fuelled by global uncertainty and the rupees relative stability. Festive launches tied to auspicious periods continue to attract overseas buyers. This festive season, weve witnessed a significant uptick in both enquiries and conversions. The sentiment is distinctly upbeat, driven by a combination of softer repo rate signals and expectations of GST rationalization , says Shaurya Garg, Director - Marketing & Sales, Northwind Estates . Buyers today are far more confident, seeing real estate as a stable long-term asset amid market volatility. Interestingly, luxury housing is leading this momentum; a clear reflection of rising disposable incomes and the desire for larger, amenity-rich homes. Another noticeable trend is the surge in NRI interest, with festive launches acting as a strong trigger for premium investments. As developers, we anticipate responding with thoughtfully designed, premium projects that match these aspirations. Overall, the festive quarter, thus, is shaping up as both emotionally charged and strategically growth-oriented for the industry . Sustainability and Smart Buying " This Diwali, NCR's property market is witnessing fresh vigor as developers launch competitive prices, favorable sale terms, and well-designed projects that emphasize sustainability and integrated eco-systems ," says Nandini Taneja, CEO, Bhumika Enterprises . " Yet, buyers need to evaluate the fundamentals: verifying developer credentials, financial backing, construction quality, timely delivery, and RERA compliance to make a safe investment. Simultaneously, with repo rates marginally lower, the real benefit is through margin money; hence, home loans are especially attractive for investors. Combining this with the development of emerging micro-markets, this festive season presents a perfect time to invest in properties with clear titles and good long-term prospects ." Outlook: Festive Momentum to Continue Analysts expect the current momentum to carry into early 2026, led by NCR, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. The festive surge has underscored a maturing market one where aspiration and affordability are aligned, and where lifestyle, liquidity, and long-term fundamentals define Indias next phase of real estate growth.

The latest rift surfaced following the September 12 shooting outside Bollywood actress Disha Patanis house in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh. The attack has brought the growing tensions between the Godara-Brar faction and the Bishnoi group into sharp focus. The firing, which occurred early in the morning, was quickly claimed by gangsters Rohit Godara and Goldy Brar on social media. They justified the attack as retaliation for allegedly insulting remarks made by Patanis sister towards two spiritual leaders. Sources say the responsibility claim was posted on a joint social media page belonging to Rohit Godara and Goldy Brar, which also included cryptic warnings aimed at raitors within the gang. Similar statements were shared by gangster Harry Boxer (real name Hari Chand Jaat)a key operative of the Godara network from Narayanpur, Rajasthan, who is believed to be operating from the United States. Previously affiliated with Lawrence Bishnoi, both Godara and Brar publicly distanced themselves from him, urging that their current actions not be associated with Bishnois leadership. Just days later, on September 17, Uttar Pradesh Police conducted an encounter near Tronica City in Ghaziabad, killing two shooters from HaryanaRavinder of Rohtak and Arun of Sonepatlinked to the Bareilly attack. Following this, without naming anyone directly, the breakaway faction accused an unnamed raitor of colluding with law enforcement agencies to secure the release of Anmol Bishnoi, Lawrence Bishnois younger brother, and of betraying gang interests. A senior police official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that intelligence inputs indicate rising tensions between gang factions. The situation is dynamic, and more developments are expected soon, he said, hinting at potential gang war-related killings. Adding to the unrest, Harry Boxer recently claimed responsibility for a shooting at Kapil Sharmas caf, Kaps Caf, in Surrey, Canada. In an audio message posted online, Boxer alleged the attack was prompted by Salman Khan being invited to the cafs inauguration, which was featured on a Netflix show. Another gang, led by Gurpreet Singh alias Goldy Dhillon, also claimed responsibility for the same attack, suggesting multiple rival factions are involved. Further deepening the divide, Jaggu Bhagwanpuria, a former mentor of Bishnoi and now jailed in Assam on drug smuggling charges filed by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), had severed ties with Bishnoi after the Sidhu Moosewala murder. Bhagwanpuria blamed Bishnoi's gang for leaking information that led to police encounters involving his shooters. The rift widened after Bhagwanpurias mother was killed on June 26 this year in an attack allegedly carried out by a rival gang. Sources claim the syndicate began to unravel last year after Anmol Bishnoi was detained in the U.S. for entering the country using forged documents. Lawrence Bishnoi reportedly accused Rohit Godara and Goldy Brar of abandoning Anmol during his legal troubles and leaking information to foreign intelligence agencies. Bishnois syndicate once operated like a corporate enterprise, forging alliances with groups such as the Boxer-Gogi gang, Kala Jatheri in Delhi-NCR, Jaggu Bhagwanpuria in Punjab, and Rohit Godara in Rajasthan. At its peak, the network included over 700 operatives across multiple states, with reported international links to Pakistan-based Khalistani terrorist Harwinder Singh Sandhu alias Rinda, and Canada-based gangster Lakhwinder Singh alias Landa.

LUCKNOW: Delhi Police arrested two more shooters accused of being involved in a firing incident outside actress Disha Patanis residence in Bareilly on Friday. The accused, identified as Nakul Singh and Vijay Tomar both from Baghpat, carried a bounty of Rs 1 lakh each. The Delhi Police recovered weapons from their possession. They were handed over to Bareilly Police on a B-Warrant. According to Bareilly Police sources, Patanis residence was attacked on both September 11 and 12. On the first day, Nakul and Vijay opened fire at 4:30 am while the actresss family was asleep inside the house. Disha Patani was in Mumbai at the time. The next day, shooters Arun and Ravindra from Haryana attacked the residence again, firing multiple rounds. In his FIR, Dishas father Jagdish Patani, a retired cop, said the family was asleep when their dog started barking. On stepping out to the balcony, he saw two men on a bike. When confronted, one opened fire at him. He escaped by hiding behind a pillar. CCTV cameras later captured the shooters fleeing on motorcycles. All four shooters were allegedly linked to the Rohit Godara and Goldie Brar gangs. After Arun and Ravindra were killed in an STF-led encounter in Ghaziabad on September 17, gangster Rohit Godara, through a Facebook post, threatened UP Police vowing revenge for the deaths of his men. Police investigations revealed that the four shooters arrived in Bareilly on September 10, travelling on two bikes. They checked into nearby hotels under fake names. CCTV footage showed them at multiple spots, including the Jhumka intersection and guest houses close to Disha Patanis house. Ravindra, identified as the main shooter, stayed under an alias at a local hotel before returning on September 12 to carry out the second round of firing with Arun. After the two alleged gang shooters were killed in a joint operation by UP STF, Delhi Police and Haryana Police, Rohit Godara posted on Facebook, condemning the encounter and calling the dead martyrs. In his post, he called the operation a great loss, accused the media of misreporting, and warned that those responsible would be made to pay for it. Promising retaliation, he posted that there would be no forgiveness. The alleged motive for the attacks traces back to public statements by actress Disha Patanis sister, Khushboo Patani, a former army officer, who criticised a religious storyteller identified as Aniruddhacharya for making derogatory remarks during a discourse. On July 30, Khushboo released a video condemning his comments about live-in relationships and women.

Demonstrators tried to storm parliament and torched various government and private establishments as the agitation turned violent. According to relatives, Ramveer Gola and his wife were staying on the upper floor of the hotel when protesters set the lower floors on fire. In panic, Ramveer attempted to rescue his wife to safety using a curtain, but she slipped from his grasp and fell, sustaining severe injuries. She was rushed to the hospital but succumbed on the way due to excessive bleeding and injuries. On Friday morning at 10:30 am, family members brought her body to their residence in Master Colony, Ghaziabad. As per family sources, the violent mob stormed the hotel and set it on fire.

Nitish Katara murder: SC asks Vikas Yadav to move Delhi HC for further extension of interim bail
NEW DELHI: After granting several interim extensions of bail toconvictVikas Yadav -- undergoing a 25-year jail term in the 2002 Nitish Katara murder case -- the Supreme Court on Monday in its order refused to give any further relief to him. It instead asked him to approach the Delhi High Court for a breather. The order of the top court is a big setback to Yadav, whose interim bail was to expire on September 9, Tuesday. The two-judge bench of the top court, headed by Justice M M Sundresh and Justice Satish Chandra Sharma, in their order on Monday refused to further extend the interim bail of Yadav. During the brief hearing, Yadav's lawyer pleaded to the apex court that instead of sending him to the high court, the top court itself hear his plea for bail extension. The SC refused the prayers and told him to move the Delhi HC for relieffor extension or grant of fresh interim bail in the case. Nitish Katara case: SC extends Yadavs interim bail Earlier on September 1, the Supreme Court Judge Justice N Kotiswar Singh, recused from hearing the matter. The top court has been extending interim bail toYadavon medical grounds. Earlier on April 24, the Supreme Court had granted interim bail till May 8 -- with certain terms and conditions --toYadav, who is serving a 25-year-long jail term in 2002Nitish Kataramurder case, in view of his mothers health condition. The bench of the apex court had earlier directed that his mother shall be admitted to AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences) immediately for two days for medical examination by a board of doctors to be constituted for examine her health condition. Wedirect that the petitioner's (Vikas Yadav) mother to be examined by AIIMS, Delhi, doctors, the SC had ordered. While granting interim bail earlier to convictYadav, the apex court had directed that he will only meet his ailing mother. The top court in its April 24 order further directed thatYadavshall furnish a bail bond of one lakh rupees with one surety of the like amount and he shall reside only at his residence in Raj Nagar, Ghaziabad. Itasked Uttarakhand and Delhi police to provide security to witnesses and NeelamKatara, keeping in view the fact thatYadavwould be on interim bail till May 8. A trial court in May 2008 heldVikas Yadavguilty of murderingNitish Katarafor being in a relationship with his sister, Bharti. On October 3, 2016, the apex court awarded a 25-yearjail term without any benefit of remission toVikas Yadav, son of controversial Uttar Pradesh politician DPYadav, and his cousin VishalYadavfor their role in the kidnapping and killing of business executiveKatara.
