Why Developers Are Concerned
The announcement has sparked concerns among real estate developers and market experts, who argue that the timing of the Gurugram circle rates hike could adversely affect a market already grappling with sluggish sales.
Vinod Behl, a property expert, said, "The market was just showing signs of recovery after interest rate cuts and new supply introductions. Increasing acquisition costs now might derail momentum, particularly in the price-sensitive affordable and mid-income segments."
Parveen Jain, president of NAREDCO Haryana, echoed similar sentiments, warning that the hike could dampen sentiment, reduce transactions, and ultimately hurt government revenue. "This is not the right time. Sales are slow, and any price escalation mid-year affects both builders and buyers," he said.
Public Feedback Invited
Ajay Kumar, Deputy Commissioner of Gurugram, reiterated that citizens have until July 31, 2025, to provide objections or suggestions. "Public input will help us finalize collector rates under a more fair and transparent system," he said. Stakeholders can view the proposed circle rates tehsil-wise on gurugram.gov.in.
Final Takeaway
The proposed hike in Gurugram circle rates has far-reaching implications for homebuyers, developers, and the broader property ecosystem. While the administration aims to rationalize land values, the real estate industry remains wary of the timing and market impact.
With objections open until July 31, stakeholders should act promptly to voice concerns or support. The outcome could shape the cost of property ownership in Gurugram for the foreseeable future.
