Entrepreneur Manav Sardana, associated with Imperial Auto until its acquisition by Warburg Pincus, has bought a penthouse at DLF's The Dahlias in Gurugram for ₹271 crore. The 17,200 sq ft (super area) unit works out to ₹1.58 lakh per sq ft on super area and ₹2.6 lakh per sq ft on carpet area, making it one of India's costliest single-unit residential deals, reports The Hindu. The Dahlias, a 420-home project across eight towers, has seen other big transactions: Madhusudan Kela paid ₹120.7 crore, and a Delhi-NCR industrialist bought four apartments for ₹380 crore. DLF's FY26 sales bookings from the project stood at ₹4,828 crore. Mumbai still commands higher per sq ft rates, with Worli deals crossing ₹2 lakh per sq ft.
