We walked through a four-bedroom Indus Homes floor in Greater Kailash-1 with a camera and a checklist. This is what the builder put into it — the stone, the fittings, the planning — and how it scores on the SouthDelhiFloors rubric.
Most 500 sq yd builder floors in South Delhi share one lift between four or five apartments. This Indus Homes building in GK-1 gives every apartment its own — a glass-door lift that opens inside the home, behind a fluted-glass security door, with a separate common staircase for everyone else.
That single decision tells you how Indus Homes approached the rest of the house. Four bedroom suites, each with its own walk-in closet and a bathroom in a different European stone. A home-automation panel in every room. Daikin VRV air-conditioning ducted through the ceilings. A Bosch-equipped kitchen with fluted-glass shutters and a double sink. Italian marble across the living areas and engineered wood in the fourth bedroom.
The home we filmed has already sold, so the exact address stays private. But the specification is what matters for a buyer, because Indus Homes builds to the same standard across its current projects in Greater Kailash, Vasant Vihar, Anand Lok, Gulmohar Park, Hauz Khas and Geetanjali Enclave, on plots from 300 to 1,200 sq yd. If you are shortlisting a luxury builder floor in South Delhi, this is a useful benchmark of what the top of the market looks like in 2026.
Scored on the ten SouthDelhiFloors criteria we apply to every builder floor we visit: planning, flooring and stone, kitchen, bathrooms, storage, light and balconies, climate and automation, access and services, workmanship, and location. The full breakdown, with the evidence behind each number, is further down this page.

In a typical South Delhi builder floor, the lift is shared. The basement-plus-ground duplex and the top floor with terrace sometimes get a private one; the floors in between almost never do. Here Indus Homes ran a private, glass-door lift to each apartment on a 500 sq yd plot. You step out of the lift into your own internal landing — the builder has used it for a neatly recessed puja niche — and a fluted-glass door separates that landing from the foyer, adding a second layer of security between the lift shaft and the home. A separate door leads to the common staircase.
Why it matters to a buyer: a private lift changes how a floor lives. No sharing the lobby with the family above, no wait, a direct route from the stilt car park to your front door, and for elderly parents or anyone with a mobility issue it is the difference between a builder floor and a bungalow. In our experience it also makes the floor noticeably easier to resell. For the trade-offs of each level in a building, read our guide to the best floor in a builder floor.
The foyer opens through a fluted-glass partition into the living room, which is glazed floor-to-ceiling on two sides: one onto the wraparound balcony, the other onto the front balcony. Ceiling heights are generous and the false ceiling is cove-lit, so the room reads bright even on a grey Delhi afternoon. A timber-clad feature wall separates the living room from a separate dining area, which has its own balcony — a proper dining room rather than a corner of the lounge, with space for a ten-seater.
The flooring through the living areas, foyer and three of the bedrooms is grey Italian marble with soft white veining, laid in large slabs with tight, almost invisible joints. It is the single biggest contributor to how expensive the floor feels, and it has been book-matched carefully enough that the veining flows across rooms.
Two details worth noting on the balconies. The front balcony is fitted with an insect mesh — essential in Delhi and rarely done at construction stage — and because that balcony is shared between the living room and the first bedroom, Indus Homes has fitted a metal privacy screen between the two sections. The balcony walls are tiled, so they stay clean with a hose rather than a repaint.
Automation is everywhere. A touch panel in the foyer, living room, dining and each bedroom controls lighting, fans and the air-conditioning. The air-conditioning itself is a Daikin VRV system, ducted through the ceilings in the living areas with one-way cassettes in the bedrooms, and it runs both cooling and heating — which matters more in a GK-1 January than most buyers expect.
The kitchen sits directly opposite the living room, behind a fluted-glass sliding door, and it is a proper walk-around room rather than a galley. The scheme is grey on grey: a grey marble-pattern stone on the counters and backsplash, matte grey shutters, and the same Italian marble underfoot. It is air-conditioned, with the ducting hidden in the false ceiling.
The specification is the kind usually seen in a 1,000 sq yd floor. Bosch built-in oven and microwave in a tall column, a Bosch chimney and hob, soft-close drawer and shutter hardware throughout, fluted-glass upper shutters, a dedicated refrigerator niche and a service shaft connected to the kitchen for exhaust and plumbing. The sink is a double bowl — one side for washing vegetables, the other for utensils — which sounds small until you have lived with a single bowl.
None of the four bedrooms has a wardrobe inside the room. Each has a walk-in closet positioned between the bedroom and its bathroom — the layout you find in good hotel suites — which keeps the bedrooms clean-walled and makes every room feel larger than its footprint. Each bedroom also has its own balcony access and its own automation panel, and the builder has given each a different feature-wall treatment: subtle POP mouldings, timber elements, and in the fourth bedroom a metallic-paint finish.
Adjacent to the living room and sharing the front balcony with it. A four-door glass-fronted walk-in closet leads to a bathroom finished in a dark brown European marble. The shower has a multi-jet body panel and a built-in sitting ledge; the mirror is lit with a colour-changing LED.
Another four-door glass closet, this time with three drawers including a lockable one. The bathroom is in a European stone with a full-height mirror, a glass shower cubicle and the same body-jet system as suite one.
The largest closet in the house: six doors running the full width of the dressing area, finished in dark timber with a near-black stone floor. The bathroom flips the palette to a light, bright stone with an LED-backlit mirror, Kohler fittings, a generous shower cubicle with body jets, and a service shaft alongside.
The only bedroom with engineered wooden flooring, which warms the room and separates it from the marble elsewhere. The walk-in closet is L-shaped and genuinely large. The bathroom is the biggest of the four, in a whitish stone with red veining, with an oversized LED mirror, Kohler fittings, a four-drawer vanity, a separate WC area, and a shower with both a rain head and body jets. Both rear bedrooms open onto a long, private rear balcony that spans the back of the building.
Placed off the dining area so guests never pass a bedroom. A freestanding pedestal basin, a wall-mounted tap in a gold finish, and a backlit mirror with a colour-changing light against grey stone — the one room where the builder allowed a little drama.

Every floor SouthDelhiFloors visits is scored on the same ten criteria, ten points each, by the same person. A nine means we would struggle to improve it at this plot size; a seven is competent and ordinary. Scores are our professional opinion from the site visit and the tour, not a structural survey.
No review is useful if every house scores ten. These are the points a careful buyer should weigh, none of which stopped this floor from selling.
This is a floor for a family that wants bungalow privacy on a builder-floor budget: four equal suites rather than one master and three small rooms, a private lift, and balconies on every side. It suits three-generation households particularly well — the lift and the ground-independent suites remove most of the reasons families in GK-1 move to Gurgaon condominiums.
On price, our GK-1 buying guide puts a new 4 BHK builder floor on a 500 sq yd plot at roughly ₹16 crore, with the basement-plus-ground and the top floor with terrace commanding premiums over the middle floors. A specification at this level — private lift, Daikin VRV, Kohler, Bosch, Italian marble — sits at the upper end of that band. Indus Homes currently has floors from 300 to 1,200 sq yd across GK, Vasant Vihar, Anand Lok, Gulmohar Park, Hauz Khas and Geetanjali Enclave; call us for the live list and prices.
When comparing two builder floors at the same price, add up what is behind the walls before what is on them: VRV with heating, a connected kitchen shaft, insect mesh, a security door at the landing. These are the items that cost real money to add later and that distinguish a builder who plans from one who decorates.
Indus Homes is a boutique South Delhi construction house that keeps design, structure, glazing and interiors under its own roof rather than subcontracting them. Its residential work runs through Vasant Vihar, Greater Kailash, Shanti Niketan, Defence Colony, Panchsheel Park, Anand Lok, Geetanjali Enclave and Gulmohar Park, alongside commercial and logistics projects. SouthDelhiFloors has marketed Indus Homes floors for several years and we maintain a full profile of the firm, its philosophy and its portfolio on our Indus Homes builder page. For how it compares with the other builders we work with, see Ekum Homes, Katarias and the full list of South Delhi builders.
It was built by Indus Homes, a boutique luxury builder based in South Delhi, on a 500 sq yd plot in Greater Kailash-1. Because the home has been sold to a private family, we do not publish the block or house number.
No. The floor in the video sold soon after it was completed. Indus Homes has more than twenty-five projects in South Delhi, and SouthDelhiFloors has current inventory in similar sizes and specifications in Greater Kailash, Vasant Vihar, Anand Lok, Gulmohar Park, Hauz Khas and Geetanjali Enclave.

A new 4 BHK floor on a 500 sq yd plot in GK-1 is typically around ₹16 crore in 2026, with the basement-plus-ground duplex and the top floor with terrace priced above the middle floors. The exact figure depends on the block, the floor, the terrace rights and the specification. Our GK-1 property guide sets out the full price ladder.
In most South Delhi builder floors one lift serves all the apartments and opens into a shared lobby on each level. A private lift opens directly inside a single apartment, usually behind a security door, so no other resident uses it. It takes planning space on every floor and a separate common staircase for fire access, which is why most builders reserve it for a penthouse. Indus Homes gave one to every apartment in this building.
As stated on the tour: Daikin VRV air-conditioning with heating and cooling, Bosch kitchen appliances, Kohler bathroom fittings with body-jet shower panels, soft-close kitchen hardware, Italian marble flooring, engineered wooden flooring in one bedroom, fluted-glass partitions and home-automation panels in every room.
It is the rubric SouthDelhiFloors applies to every builder floor we visit: ten criteria, ten points each, scored by the same reviewer so that scores are comparable across builders and colonies. It is an opinion formed on site, not a structural or legal survey. This floor scored 90 out of 100.
Yes. SouthDelhiFloors markets Indus Homes floors and earns a brokerage when a client buys one, as we do with every builder we represent. The scores and the “what we would change” section above are our own assessment and are not reviewed by the builder before publication.
