Market guide
Delhi NCR
Delhi, Gurugram, Noida and Ghaziabad make one metro region across three states. That means different rules, different RERA authorities and different cost lines.
How the market is shaped
One region, several rulebooks
A flat in Delhi, one in Gurugram and one in Noida can sit within an hour of each other and still fall under different state governments, different stamp-duty schedules and different RERA authorities. The first job for any buyer is to be sure which set of rules applies.
NCR also has a large share of new-launch and under-construction supply, which makes the project checks in the RERA 5-Check especially relevant.
Which authority
Check the right regulator
Look the project up on the regulator for the state where it is built.
| Area | State | Where to check |
|---|---|---|
| Delhi | NCT of Delhi | The Delhi real-estate regulatory authority's official site confirm current portal address |
| Gurugram, Faridabad | Haryana | Haryana RERA (Gurugram and Panchkula authorities) confirm current portal address and which authority covers the district |
| Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad | Uttar Pradesh | UP RERA confirm current portal address |
We list the regulators, not their URLs, until each is verified on the day we publish. Always type the address yourself or follow it from the state government's own site.
