During the last couple of years, DLF has launched many luxury housing projects in Gurugram, including the ultra-luxury project ‘The Dahlias’, which has a revenue potential of around Rs 35,000 Crore.
These launches have helped the company to achieve a sale bookings of Rs 19,187 Crore for the first nine months of 2024-25 fiscal year, beating the annual guidance of Rs 17,000 Crore.
