Auto component major Anand Automotive has purchased a prime bungalow on Kautilya Marg in Delhi’s diplomatic enclave for ₹195 crore, marking one of the highest-value residential property transactions of 2025. The deal covers a 1,550 square yard plot and includes an additional ₹13.65 crore paid towards stamp duty, bringing the total outlay close to ₹210 crore.
The transaction was facilitated by property consultant CBRE, though both Anand Group and the advisory firm declined to comment on the acquisition. Market analysts believe this purchase reinforces the area’s appeal among India's top-tier industrialists and entrepreneurs.
Kautilya Marg, situated within Delhi’s sought-after Chanakyapuri zone, has consistently attracted high net-worth individuals (HNIs) due to its strategic location, large plot sizes, and fewer construction restrictions compared to Lutyens' Bungalow Zone. The enclave remains a prime destination for luxury housing amid constrained availability and limited resale inventory.
This is not the first high-value transaction on the same road. Recently, Anurag Jain, managing director of Endurance Technologies, acquired a 1,350 square yard bungalow on Kautilya Marg for ₹130 crore. Similarly, Aakash Educational Services’ co-promoter Aakash Chaudhry completed a ₹137 crore purchase in the vicinity.
The luxury housing segment in Delhi has witnessed a steady rise in demand post-pandemic, driven by a combination of end-use and investment-led purchases. According to property consultants, the momentum is fueled by shifting asset allocation strategies among HNIs and ultra-HNIs, especially amid stock market volatility and geopolitical concerns.
There is also a visible trend of legacy business families consolidating their presence in ultra-premium real estate. “This segment is showing resilience and even expansion due to the limited supply of prime bungalows in the heart of the capital,” a senior property consultant said on condition of anonymity.
According to Knight Frank India’s recent wealth report, India’s billionaire count is projected to grow significantly over the next decade, further boosting demand for landmark properties in select areas like Kautilya Marg, Amrita Shergill Marg, and Prithviraj Road.
With the country’s wealthiest families increasingly seeking gated, expansive, and centrally located homes, Anand Automotive’s ₹195 crore acquisition highlights the rising appetite for land-rich assets in Delhi’s most exclusive residential enclaves.
