Who buys in Chanakya Puri

Chanakya Puri is the number one preference for expats and diplomatic families in Delhi. The colony also attracts ultra-HNI individuals with government connections, senior bureaucrats, and a very small number of private buyers who can navigate the unique ownership structures here.

The private market is extremely limited — most properties are government or embassy-owned. When a private property becomes available, it commands extraordinary pricing. Malcha Marg is the most sought-after road.

Selling in Chanakya Puri

The private market in Chanakya Puri is so limited that standard market dynamics barely apply. Transactions are selective, relationship-driven, and require specific connections.

Pricing varies significantly by road — Malcha Marg commands a premium over other roads. Plot size and existing covered area are the primary pricing drivers. Grey Beard's approach: discreet, relationship-driven, full-cheque transactions only.
