Property in Chittaranjan Park

CR Park is the cheapest way into a new South Delhi builder floor, and the only colony in the city with a fish market, a Kali Bari and a Durga Puja that draws all of Delhi. Here is what that address costs, block by block.

Circle rate Category C New 3 BHK from ₹5.5 Cr Classic plot ~160 sq yd Nehru Enclave metro ~1 km

Property in Chittaranjan Park starts at about ₹5.5 crore for a new three-bedroom floor on a 160 sq yd plot, the lowest entry ticket for a new floor among the colonies we price in South Delhi.

That low entry is the whole story of CR Park, and also its catch. The plots are small, the lanes are narrow and the colony was planned for refugee families rather than for luxury. Yet it sits between Greater Kailash II, Kalkaji and Alaknanda, with Nehru Place and two metro lines close by, so buyers who would never look at a 160 sq yd plot elsewhere end up shortlisting it here.

This guide explains what property in Chittaranjan Park costs, how the lettered blocks and later pockets differ, what the leasehold history means for your title papers, and how CR Park compares with its pricier neighbour, GK-II.

SouthDelhiFloors insight

In CR Park you are buying community as much as square footage. The markets, the Kali Bari and the puja grounds keep demand local and loyal, which is why well-built floors here rent quickly and rarely sit unsold for long, even though the plots are among the smallest in South Delhi.

Property in Chittaranjan Park, by the Numbers

These are indicative levels for property in Chittaranjan Park, taken from our own pricing table and the original colony plan. On plots this small, a park-facing or corner position, the width of the lane and the quality of the build swing the price more than the bedroom count does.

From EPDP Colony to Chittaranjan Park

CR Park began more than six decades ago as the EPDP Colony, short for East Pakistan Displaced Persons. Bengali families who had moved to Delhi after Partition, many of them working in government offices, campaigned for land of their own, and plots were allotted on rocky ground south of Kalkaji. The plan carried 2,147 plots, given out on long leases.

The colony was later renamed after Deshbandhu Chittaranjan Das, and the leases were converted to freehold over time. Additional pockets were laid out afterwards, including Pocket 40 (Navapalli), Pocket 52 and the M, N, O and P blocks, so the colony today is larger than the plan that started it.

The temple complex on the hillock, the Kali Mandir with its Bengal-style terracotta shrines to Kali, Shiva and Radha-Krishna, was built about four decades ago and is the colony’s landmark. Around it, the original single-storey houses have mostly been rebuilt as stilt-plus-four floors, which is where nearly all new supply in CR Park comes from.

Near the Kali Mandir, property in Chittaranjan Park carries a view few colonies match. The temple on its hillock anchors the colony’s calendar, from daily aarti to Durga Puja.

Chittaranjan Park property, block by block

Property in Chittaranjan Park is quoted by block letter and plot number, and the plot numbers run in one series across the original colony, from 1 to 2,147. On the original plan, the lettered blocks fan out from the Outer Ring Road corner by Savitri, at the west, to the Kalkaji edge in the north and Alaknanda and Chanderlok in the south-east.

Bipan Chandra Pal Marg curves through the middle, past the central shops and the community library. The plan also marks several schools and open spaces, which is why some blocks have a park or school ground in front and others look straight into the next row of houses. Tap a letter to see where each block sits.

The markets, temple and pockets that shape CR Park

Much of the appeal of property in Chittaranjan Park lies outside the house. Ask a CR Park resident where they live and the answer is often a market or a puja ground rather than a block letter. These are the reference points that decide how a lane feels, and how busy it gets in October.

Market No. 1

The best-known of the colony’s markets, with the fish lane, sweet shops and Bengali grocers that bring in buyers from across Delhi.

Living near it: everything on foot, but evening crowds and parking pressure.

Market No. 2

A second fish and grocery market that many residents prefer for variety. Markets 3 and 4 serve the outer blocks for daily needs.

Living near it: convenient, a little calmer than Market 1.

Kali Mandir

The hilltop temple complex, with its Bengal terracotta shrines, school and cultural events through the year.

Living near it: a view of green and temple bells; festival traffic.

Mela Ground and Co-operative Ground

Two of the colony’s biggest Durga Puja venues. During the festival, crowds from all over the city fill the lanes around them.

Living near it: the best seat for the puja, and five busy nights a year.

Pocket 40 · Navapalli

One of the pockets added after the original plan, with its own well-known puja and a more settled, residential feel.

For buyers: check the plot size; pockets do not follow the original plot series.

M, N, O, P, K-1, K-2 and Pocket 52

Blocks and pockets laid out after the original 2,147 plots. Addresses here use their own lettering, so they will not appear on the original plan.

For buyers: confirm the title history from the first allotment, as for any CR Park plot.

What property in Chittaranjan Park costs against its neighbours

CR Park is the entry point to the Greater Kailash belt, so it is priced against GK-I and GK-II rather than against Kalkaji. The three markers below come from our own pricing table and show where it sits.

₹5.5 Cr+CR Park · new 3 BHK · 160 sq yd
Our current starting point for a new three-bedroom floor on the classic 160 sq yd plot. Corner and park-facing plots, larger plots and well-known builders sit above it.
₹6.5 Cr+GK-I · new 3 BHK · 200 sq yd
The next step up the belt: a new three-bedroom floor on 200 sq yd in Greater Kailash I, with a larger plot and the M Block market.
₹8 Cr+GK-II · new 3 BHK · 250 sq yd
The neighbour across the colony boundary. A new floor in GK-II costs roughly half as much again, and buys a bigger plot and a Category B address.

What these numbers tell a buyer

Per square yard of plot, a new CR Park floor is not cheap at all: about ₹3.4 lakh, against roughly ₹3.2 lakh in GK-II. What is cheaper is the ticket, because the plot is small. So compare CR Park floors on land share and usable area, and do not assume the lower lump sum means a lower rate.

Land in CR Park currently trades at about ₹7–9 lakh per sq yd on our pricing data. Older resale floors, which carry an older building, usually ask well below a new floor. See floor prices by colony →

A new floor, a resale floor, or an old house to rebuild?

A new floor

From about ₹5.5 crore for three bedrooms on 160 sq yd. On a plot this size, one floor is typically a compact three-bedroom home, so check the carpet area, lift, stilt parking allotment and roof rights in the deed rather than the brochure.

A resale floor

Cheaper, because the building is older and often has no lift or parking. A sound resale floor in a quiet inner lane can be the best value in CR Park, especially for buyers who want to live near the markets.

An old house to rebuild

Original owner families still hold many plots. Buying one and rebuilding, or signing a collaboration with a builder, works if every heir signs and the freehold conversion is in order. Budget for demolition, sanction and construction.

The fish lanes of Markets 1 and 2 are why half of Delhi knows CR Park.

Living in Chittaranjan Park

Daily life around property in Chittaranjan Park runs on its markets. Fish, vegetables, sweets and Bengali groceries are a short walk from most blocks, and the colony keeps a strong cultural calendar through its temple, clubs and puja committees. For many buyers, Bengali or not, that sense of neighbourhood is the reason to choose it over a quieter, more anonymous colony.

The trade-off is density. Plots are small, lanes are narrow and most buildings are now four floors over stilt parking, so street parking is tight and the busiest lanes near the markets stay crowded into the evening. Durga Puja brings several days when the whole colony fills with visitors.

On connectivity, the Delhi Metro’s Magenta Line stops at Nehru Enclave and Greater Kailash, each roughly one to two kilometres from most blocks, and Kalkaji Mandir and Nehru Place put the Violet Line within reach. Nehru Place, one of Delhi’s biggest office and IT districts, is next door, and the Outer Ring Road runs along the colony’s western edge. Schools within easy reach include several on the colony plan itself, plus the GK-II and Alaknanda schools covered in our school map.

The rental market in CR Park

Rental demand for property in Chittaranjan Park is broad, and it is steady through the year. Young families, Nehru Place professionals, academics and Bengali households moving to Delhi all look here first, and the smaller floor sizes keep rents within reach of tenants priced out of GK.

Because entry prices are lower and rents hold up, gross yields in CR Park tend to be better than in the large-plot colonies, which matches what we see across the value ring of South Delhi. Rents still vary sharply with lift, parking, furnishing and distance from the markets, so we quote them against live comparables rather than an average.

What buying property in Chittaranjan Park costs on top of the price

Property in Chittaranjan Park is valued on the Category C circle rate of ₹1,59,840 per square metre of land, with minimum construction at ₹13,920 per square metre. Duty is charged on whichever is higher, the deal value or the circle value, and here the market price is far above the circle value.

So add the all-in government cost to the price: 8% in a man’s name, 6% in a woman’s name and 7% for joint ownership. For a man, that is 3% stamp duty plus 4% MCD transfer duty plus 1% registration; for a woman, 2% plus 3% plus 1%; a joint deed falls in between. On a ₹5.5 crore floor, that is about ₹44 lakh in a man’s name, ₹38.5 lakh jointly and ₹33 lakh in a woman’s name. The buyer also deducts 1% TDS against the seller’s PAN.

Buying in Chittaranjan Park: what to verify

The freehold conversion deed for the plot. CR Park plots were first allotted on long leases, so a clean title shows the original allotment, the conversion to freehold and every transfer since, with nothing left on lease terms.
The full family chain on older plots. Many CR Park homes passed through one or two generations of the original allottee’s family, so check that every legal heir has signed relinquishment deeds or the sale deed itself.
The block, pocket and plot number exactly as on the deed. Original blocks share one plot series, while Pocket 40, Pocket 52 and the later blocks have their own, so the same number can mean two different plots.
On a 160 sq yd plot, the stilt parking allotment, lift and land share written into your deed, along with the sanctioned plan for the whole building and the number of floors it allows.
The completion certificate, plus the builder’s collaboration agreement with the plot owner if you buy from a builder, so you know who must sign your deed.
A clean title chain and a registered sale deed only, never a GPA or power-of-attorney transfer, with MCD property tax paid and mutation done after purchase.

Where deals go wrong

In Chittaranjan Park the risk sits in the family papers, not the finishes. A missing heir’s signature, a conversion deed nobody can find or a parking slot promised but not written down will cost you more than any upgrade. So collect the full chain from the first allotment before you agree a price. The 21-point buying checklist →

Property in Chittaranjan Park or Greater Kailash II?

The two colonies share a boundary, the same metro stations and the same schools. GK-II offers larger plots, a Category B address and the M Block market, and a new three-bedroom floor there starts around ₹8 crore on 250 sq yd. CR Park gets you a new three-bedroom floor from about ₹5.5 crore, on a smaller plot with a far livelier neighbourhood.

Choose GK-II if you want space, parking and a quieter street. Choose property in Chittaranjan Park if budget matters, if you value the markets and the community life, or if you are buying to rent. Compare: the Greater Kailash 2 guide → · Or see GK-III, on the other side of the metro →

Where property in Chittaranjan Park goes from here

The case for property in Chittaranjan Park rests on three things. Firstly, supply is fixed, and nearly every plot that will be rebuilt as floors is being rebuilt now. Secondly, CR Park is the cheapest new-build entry to the Greater Kailash belt, so it catches buyers stretching from GK and families upgrading from flats. Thirdly, the community keeps demand steady in a way few colonies can match.

The limits are just as clear. Small plots cap how large a floor can be, parking is scarce, and the colony’s popularity during festivals is a cost for those who live by the grounds. Over a long horizon, though, a freehold floor in a fully built, well-connected South Delhi colony has been one of the steadier ways to hold value.
