Project Overview
DLF has started construction of its new 26–27 lakh square feet shopping mall in Gurugram at a cost of around ₹2,200 crore as part of its expansion plan amid rebound in retail consumption post-COVID pandemic. The 'Mall of India' project in the city is set to span between 26 to 27 lakh sq-ft. The mall will serve as an anchor commercial retail destination within the established DLF Cyber City commercial hub.
Developer and Structure
Around 3.4 lakh square feet of retail portfolio is under DLF Ltd and the rest under the DLF Cyber City Developers Ltd (DCCDL), a joint venture between DLF and Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC. DLF's Vice Chairman and MD (Rental Business) confirmed the project announcement in April 2024 at a CII conference on the real estate sector.
DLF Cyber City Context
DLF Cyber City is a commercial area in Gurugram, Haryana, India, established in 2003. The area is home to several top IT and Fortune 500 company offices. The area is considered one of the largest hubs of IT activity in Delhi NCR. DLF Cyber City Gurugram is an award-winning integrated business district spanning 125 acres. It offers approximately 15 million sq. ft of commercial spaces for retail and corporate operations. The new mall will complement the existing CyberHub retail and dining precinct.
Retail Market Drivers
In 2023, retail leasing across malls and high streets exceeded seven million square feet, indicating a growing preference for new formats, experiential stores, and international merchandise offerings. Consumption trends exhibited a rebound during 2023 with cinemas stabilising, followed by healthy growth amongst footwear, travel & leisure, QSRs and jewellery & watches. This project reflects DLF's confidence in sustained retail sector expansion across the Delhi-NCR region.
DLF's Existing Retail Portfolio
At present, DLF has a retail footprint of around 42 lakh square feet comprising nine properties, including malls and shopping centres, mainly across Delhi-NCR. The Mall of India in Gurgaon will add significantly to this portfolio and complement DLF's existing retail asset base, including the flagship DLF Mall of India in Noida (2 million sq ft, opened 2016).
Connectivity and Infrastructure
Located just off National Highway-48 at the entrance to Gurugram, it is well connected to domestic and international airports, the rapid metro, the 16-lane Raghavendra Marg, and walkways. The site benefits from DLF Cyber City's integrated road network and proximity to commercial anchors, hotels, and recreational facilities including the CyberHub mixed-use retail destination.
