On August 10, 2026, news reports claimed that entrepreneur Manav Sardana bought a penthouse at DLF's The Dahlias in Gurugram for a record ₹271 crores. It is the most expensive single unit home ever reported to be sold in India. The unit has a 17,200 sq ft super area and a 10,500 sq ft carpet area, which works out to nearly ₹2.6 lakh per square foot on carpet. At a rate of about ₹95 to the dollar, that is roughly $28.5 million. These rates place Gurugram’s premium residential market alongside Manhattan’s most exclusive condominiums, where top-end properties frequently command $2,000-3,000 per sq. ft. So Gurugram is now selling homes at almost New York prices. But New York comes with a functioning city attached. Gurugram, in the same monsoon week this deal was reported, was under a foot and a half of water. Here is who Manav Sardana is, what this money could buy in Manhattan, and why Indian property prices keep climbing. --- DLF | Dahlias | Gurugram | Real Estate | Manhattan | Ne
