Gurugram Revises Circle Rates by Up to 145 Per Cent

Gurugram’s real estate market is set for a shake-up as the district administration proposes a revision in circle rates, with residential plots facing an 8 to 77 per cent hike and agricultural land witnessing an increase of up to 145 per cent. 

Circle rates are the government-notified minimum property values used to calculate stamp duty and registration fees. These rates vary by location and property type and are key to preventing undervaluation in transactions, thereby improving transparency and enhancing tax compliance. 

According to experts, the revised rates will help bridge the gap between market and official valuations, boosting stamp duty revenues and curbing underreporting of property prices. 

Although circle rates are typically revised every April, the last hike occurred in December 2024 due to Lok Sabha and state elections. The April 2025 revision was deferred and is now effective from August 2025. 

Among the areas most impacted are Sectors 104–106, 109–115, DLF Phase II, Sector 25, and Sectors 22A, 23–23A. Established neighbourhoods like Sectors 14, 15, 17, and 28 have also seen collector rate hikes between 27 and 70 per cent, as authorities aim to align rates with current market trends. 

Pradeep Aggarwal, Founder & Chairman, Signature Global (India), said, “Gurugram’s real estate sector continues to thrive on strong fundamentals and end-user-driven demand. The proposed hike in circle rates, if implemented in a balanced manner, can enhance market transparency, improve buyer confidence, and align property valuations with ground realities. 

For homebuyers, this step can ensure cleaner, more structured transactions, better financing opportunities, and stronger long-term asset value. For the industry, it opens avenues for more formalised growth, greater compliance, and increased investment in infrastructure and community development. As we move forward, maintaining a stable and growth-oriented policy framework will be key to sustaining momentum — encouraging genuine homebuyers, fostering trust, and supporting the long-term vision of Gurugram as a model urban real estate market.” 

Vineet Nanda, Director – Sales & Marketing, Krisumi Corporation, said, “The recent hike in the circle rates in Gurugram is clearly the government's attempt to increase transparency in the property market and bring property valuations closer to market realities. However, the steep rise comes at a time when consumer sentiment has only just begun to improve, following the RBI's three consecutive rate cuts totalling 100 basis points. This move could temporarily slow down the growing interest among buyers. 

However, in the long run, the demand for properties is poised to remain strong, driven by Gurugram’s robust infrastructure development, growing commercial activity, and its appeal among end-users and investors alike. As the market adjusts to the revised rates, transparency and realistic valuations will ultimately support sustainable growth in the real estate sector.”
