British businessman Sukhpal Singh Ahluwalia has purchased an 11,416 sq ft apartment in DLF’s ultra-luxury project, The Camellias, Gurugram, for ₹100 crores, highlighting the growing demand among global Indians and ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) for luxury condominiums over standalone homes. According to sources, the purchased unit is a bare-shell, first-floor corner simplex apartment. Its price is significant as such valuations are usually associated with higher-floor residences, showing the strength of demand for this address.
The Camellias: A 7-Star Lifestyle Hub for India’s Elite
Spread across 17.5 acres, The Camellias is often compared to living in a 7-star hotel, with round-the-clock luxury. It has emerged as a hub for the country’s most successful personalities, from industrialists and corporate leaders to start-up founders and Delhi’s elite. Many residents have moved from independent bungalows to these nearly 10,000 sq ft homes in Gurugram’s upscale Golf Course Road.
Ahluwalia confirmed the deal, explaining that while he had initially considered buying a farmhouse, he opted for a gated condominium since he frequently travels to India. Despite owning a property on Kautilya Marg in Delhi, he prefers staying in Gurugram. “I’m delighted to have purchased this spectacular property in The Camellias. It will provide a wonderful base in India as I spend significantly more time on the ground,” he said.

Founder of Euro Car Parts, which he later sold, Ahluwalia now heads the London-based Dominvs Group, with interests spanning real estate, hospitality, and asset management. His purchase adds him to the elite circle of homeowners at The Camellias, a project that has become synonymous with high-value real estate deals and upscale living.
As of April 2025, The Camellias commands a trading rate of ₹87,800 per sq ft and leases between ₹12–16 lakh per month, according to brokers. Several high-profile deals have been recorded here: Zomato co-founder Deepinder Goyal registered a flat bought earlier for ₹52.3 crore; Info-X CEO Rishi Parti purchased a penthouse for ₹190 crores in December 2024; and in 2024, Smiti Agarwal acquired a 10,000 sq ft unit for ₹95 crores. In October 2023, an 11,000 sq ft resale touched ₹114 crores, putting The Camellias in league with New Delhi’s most expensive properties.
