DLF to Invest ₹10,000 Crore in Premium Office Spaces and Malls

Real estate giant DLF plans to invest ₹10,000 crore over the current and next financial years to build premium office complexes and shopping malls across India. The move is aimed at boosting its rental income and strengthening its position in the commercial real estate sector.

At 12:13 AM, the DLF share price was up 0.52% and was trading at ₹780.50.  

Investment Backed by Partnerships

The company is working through joint ventures with global investors. Most of DLF’s commercial assets are held under DLF Cyber City Developers Ltd (DCCDL), a joint venture where DLF owns 66.67% and Singapore’s GIC holds the remaining 33.33%.

DLF also has a joint venture with the US-based Hines to build a 3 million square feet office complex in Gurugram, where it holds a 67% stake.

Together with these partners, DLF plans to spend around ₹5,000 crore annually over FY26 and FY27 to build top-grade commercial spaces.

Project Pipeline of DLF

Currently, DLF has 28 million square feet of commercial space in the pipeline. Of this, over 17 million square feet are under construction. More than 6 million square feet are expected to be completed by the end of this fiscal year.

Two large shopping malls are being built in Gurugram and Noida. New office complexes are coming up in Gurugram and Chennai, and a data centre is also under development in Noida.

Strong Financial Growth 

DLF’s commercial wing, DCCDL, reported an 11% increase in office rental income last year, reaching ₹3,874 crore. Rental income from retail properties also rose 6% to ₹880 crore.

Due to strong financial and operational performance, CRISIL upgraded DCCDL’s rating to ‘AAA’ with a stable outlook. ICRA also upgraded its rating to ‘AA+ with a positive outlook’.
