Circle rates to go up in gurugram: latest news updates on Gurgaon real estate

Circle rates are the lowest government-defined pricing at which a plot, built-up home, apartment, commercial property, or land can be sold or transferred. This is the lowest price at which the property may be registered. This is also used to calculate stamp duty and registration fees on a property.

The circular rate for land has increased by Rs 6,000 per square yard in sectors along the SPR, the most notable of which are 58 to 65, which are closest to the Golf Course Road and till the Rapid Metro corridor. In certain places, the new circular charge is Rs 36,000 per sq yard. The tariffs at DLF 2 have been raised from Rs 77,000 to Rs 85,000 per square yard.

The circular rate in the Golf Course Road sectors 27, 28, 42, and 43 has increased by Rs 5,000 to Rs 55,000 per sq yard. The circle cost has been raised from Rs 30,000 to Rs 36,000 per sq yard in new areas along the Dwarka Expressway.

Circle prices in the Gurugram and Wazirabad tehsils have increased by 5-10 percent, 25 percent in Badshapur tehsil, and 10-15 percent in Manesar, respectively. In Gurugram tehsil, circle prices for the HSVP sectors have been raised by 5-10%, 10-12% in Badshapur, and 10-15% in Wazirabad.

Gurugram saw the highest increase in circle rates, at 66 percent, followed by Manesar (38 percent), and Wazirabad (5-10 percent). Circle prices for other multi-story group housing and builder floors have increased the most in Manesar (30-40%), followed by 10-20% in Gurugram tehsil (which corresponds to a Rs 500 per square foot increase for flats) and 10-15% in Badshapur.

What do developers have to say about the hike of the circle rate?

According to developers, the hike in circle rates would have a negative impact on the real estate sector, which has recently seen green shoots after a tough period owing to the epidemic. The real estate market has been rebounding, according to Elite Landbase's managing director, and a rise in circle rate would stymie that.

The move to hike the circular rate, according to Saransh Trehan, managing director of Trehan Group, will place an extra burden on potential purchasers in the form of greater stamp duty for property registration. "Especially during the epidemic, this should have been prevented," he added.

"Higher acquisition expenses resulting by higher circle rates will affect sentiments," said Pradeep Aggarwal, chairman of Signature Global. "An objective market evaluation of property values is urgently needed," he stated, "but the technique of calculating circle rates has to be revised in order to more correctly represent market rates."

According to a recent survey by a property portal, housing sales in all Indian markets, particularly in the NCR, had nearly recovered to pre-Covid levels, but average listing prices of residential apartments had remained flat, indicating that the flatness in prices was luring more buyers into investment as the economy recovered from the pandemic. According to the poll, the price of residential plots increased, particularly in the Gurugram and Sohna markets, as well as several places along the Dwarka Expressway. According to another poll, Delhi-NCR cities added 31,710 new units in 2021, compared to 18,530 units in 2020, a considerable increase of 71 percent.
