Greater Kailash (often referred to as GK) is a residential area in South Delhi consisting of several neighborhoods and multiple markets. It is divided into three zones, namely part 1, 2, and 3, located around a section of the Outer Ring Road. The neighborhood registered a 4.4% growth in residential sales.
Greater Kailash 1
Greater Kailash 1 (GK-I) was developed in the 1960s by DLF Limited when the Delhi Government allowed private developers to build colonies and is today one of the most affluent neighborhoods in the city, home to well-known politicians, business personalities and people associated with Bollywood industry. GK 1 markets in M and N Block are some of the most popular markets among Delhites and tourists because of its wide range of shopping, restaurants, bars, etc.
Greater Kailash Part 2
The development of Greater Kailash-I was followed by the expansion of Greater Kailash Part II, which has easier accessibility to the Outer Ring Road of New Delhi. M-Block, GK II is a popular market, with many restaurants, coffee shops, sanitary shops and beauty salons. It is one of the largest hubs for sanitary ware in Northern India. Recently the market has experienced heavy footfall due to several restaurants, salons and banks.
Greater Kailash Part 3
The development of Greater Kailash-II has also led to its expansion into Greater Kailash-III, now bordering GK-II and adjacent to the Greater Kailash Metro station.
Real estate
Established in the early 1960s, the Greater Kailash locality has two metro stations on the violet and magenta lines. It has its own prime market which hosts numerous opulent salons, boutiques and eating joints. Property prices have always been high in this borough due to the numerous facilities available. Builder floors and independent villas cost anywhere between INR 6-25 crores (the US $800,000 - $9,000,000). Rental rates are also very high due to which this residential area is among the most expensive places in New Delhi.
In Popular culture
With time, Greater Kailash has become synonymous with good living, and a good neighborhood. In 2022 Indian Hindi-language horror comedy film Bhediya, after both the protagonist Bhaskar and his love interest Dr. Anika -a veterinarian- realize that he indeed is suffering from a physical form of lycanthropy, Dr. Anika hints, he should return to his home. Bhaskar exclaims, that he if fighting to have a better living [मेरी लड़ाई जमना पार [signifying an ordinary living] से जीके [GK or Greater Kailash signifying a decent living] पहुंचने की है].
