Dlf - A Dream Fulfilled

With the population of Delhi almost doubling overnight, providing shelter to teeming millions assumed critical importance. It was at this time that the founder of the DLF Group, Chaudhary Raghvendra Singh, took up the challenge and developed as many as 25 urban townships in Delhi, housing half-a-million people. Among these are the present posh areas of Greater Kailash, South Extension, Hauz Khas, Model Town and Rajouri Garden.

From the beginning, DLFs emphasis was on providing high quality housing along with an established social infrastructure - a concept unknown in India till then.

"DLFs success in these 50 years has been due to its dedication to professional excellence, ethical conduct, integrated approach to development, consistent quality, customer care and the ability to respond to the customers expectations," says Mr.K.P.Singh, Chairman of the DLF Group.

 

The Groups activities has changed the skyline of Delhi. Foremost among them is the magnificent DLF Centre on Parliament Street with its white, black and grey exteriors and its beautiful interiors, 19th century lithographs, sculptures in bronze and stone to the piece de resistance - the M.F.Hussain mural: "Delhi : The enchanting Damsel" - on the central dome of the building.

A keen understanding of the needs of the multinational companies led DLF to set up its Corporate Park in Phase 3 of DLF Qutab Enclave. The desire to underscore their distinct identities with exclusive offices has led to a rush of multinationals and leading Indian companies to the Corporate Park. Among these are Pepsico Holdings, GE Caps, Compaq, RPG Enterprises and VXL India.

DLF was among the first to sense the potential of the southern fringes of the city and constructed the DLF Qutab Enclave to provide high quality accommodation. Among the host of projects are DLF Galleria, a news office cum shopping complex in Phase 4 of the Qutab Enclave. DLF is also busy setting up its projects in Faridabad and Uttar Pradesh.
