Amrita Shergill Marg Bungalows

Amrita Shergill Marg is the short, leafy street near Lodhi Garden that many Delhi families consider the most private address in the bungalow zone. Its benchmark is a ₹220 crore registered bungalow sale.

Asking land ₹20–25 L/sq yd Registered benchmark ~₹7.5 L/sq yd Benchmark ₹220 Cr Circle rate Category A

Amrita Shergill Marg is priced on land and privacy: owners currently ask ₹20–25 lakh per sq yd, while the street’s benchmark deal, ₹220 crore for a bungalow reported at 2,920 sq yd, works out to about ₹7.5 lakh per sq yd on the deed record.

Amrita Shergill Marg is named after the painter Amrita Sher-Gil, one of the founders of modern Indian art, and it has the calm of a gallery. It is short, almost free of traffic, lined with amaltas trees that turn yellow in summer, and it ends at Lodhi Road. Behind its walls are large private bungalows, an ambassador’s residence and a state guest house.

Because the road is so short, sales are very rare, sometimes years apart, and almost none are reported with documents. This guide brings together what is known: the history and character of Amrita Shergill Marg, the deals on record, the LBZ rules, what a purchase costs in the NDMC area, what to verify and how the street compares with the rest of the zone.

Read the two numbers together

Lead with the asking rate, ₹20–25 lakh per sq yd, because that is what an owner here will quote. Beside it, the deed record: about ₹7.5 lakh per sq yd on the ₹220 crore benchmark. On a street that trades this rarely, an old deal is a floor for the conversation, not a ceiling.

Asking first, then the deed record, then the street’s fixed facts. With so few deals, treat every per-yard figure as indicative.

Amrita Shergill Marg: history and character

The road belongs to the southern part of Lutyens’ plan, where the imperial avenues soften into quieter residential streets around Lodhi Garden. Its houses are low, walled and set well back; walkers describe it as a road you hear before you see, mostly birdsong and the occasional security guard’s radio.

Most of the street is private bungalows held by business families and companies. The residence of the Danish ambassador is here, as is Goa Sadan, the Goa government’s white, columned guest house, and a charitable trust keeps its registered office at No. 5.

Most of the houses have been rebuilt or extensively restored within their old footprints, though a few original bungalows remain. That is the LBZ at work: the trees and the street stay as they were, and the houses change only on the inside.

The southern Lutyens streets: low walls, old trees, almost no traffic.

Amrita Shergill Marg: the deals ledger

Deals on Amrita Shergill Marg are few and far between. These are the ones we can source; per-yard figures are our arithmetic and rounded.

What the ledger says

With two sales on record, Amrita Shergill Marg has no live price discovery. That cuts both ways: an owner can ask what the zone’s best streets ask, and a buyer can argue from the deed record. In practice we price a house here against the most recent registered deals on Prithviraj Road and APJ Abdul Kalam Road, adjusted for plot size. The full landmark-deals ledger for the zone →

LBZ rules on Amrita Shergill Marg

Amrita Shergill Marg sits in the original Lutyens Bungalow Zone, so the guidelines apply in full, enforced by the New Delhi Municipal Council with heritage and urban-art review.

Same plinth. A rebuilt house must keep the plinth area of the bungalow it replaces. You can modernise everything inside that footprint; you cannot enlarge it.
Same height. The new building may not rise above the existing one. On a vacant plot the lowest adjoining bungalow sets the limit, which in practice usually means a single tall storey.
No subdivision, no builder floors. One plot, one house. The stilt-plus-four model that rebuilt South Delhi does not exist inside the zone.
Basements and extras are restricted. There has been no general permission for basements, and garages, staff quarters and service blocks count against the permitted plinth.
Proposals are not law. Recommendations to shrink the zone or relax its norms have been made and rejected by the Centre. Value the bungalow on the rules that exist.

On a street this short, the rules also protect what you are paying for: no neighbour can ever build higher than you, and the amaltas canopy over Amrita Shergill Marg is protected as part of the zone’s character.

On Amrita Shergill Marg: a restored bungalow, a rebuild within the old plinth, or a vacant plot?

No floor-by-floor market exists on the imperial streets, so the usual South Delhi choice between a new and a resale floor does not apply. A buyer here chooses what to do with the house.

A restored bungalow

Keep the structure, replace every service, restore the verandah, lawn and trees, and live in a house that already has its permissions. The fastest route in, and the one most heritage reviewers prefer.

A rebuild within the old plinth

Demolish and build new, but only to the existing plinth and height. A modern single-storey house with new services, a pool and landscaping fits comfortably on most of these plots; extra floors do not.

A vacant plot

Almost never offered. Where it is, the height is capped by the lowest neighbouring bungalow, so confirm the sanctionable envelope with the NDMC before you pay for anything that is not yet built.

Restored within the old walls: how most houses on the street have been modernised.

Living on Amrita Shergill Marg

Living on Amrita Shergill Marg means Lodhi Garden as the neighbourhood park, Khan Market for food, books and coffee, and Lodhi Road for the India International Centre, the India Habitat Centre and the Lodhi Road institutions. Golf Links and the Delhi Golf Club are close, and Connaught Place and Parliament are within about fifteen minutes.

The Delhi Metro’s Khan Market (Violet Line) and Jor Bagh (Yellow Line) stations are each a short drive away. Schools in the Lodhi Estate and Chanakyapuri belt are within easy reach.

What an Amrita Shergill Marg transaction looks like

Buyers at this level usually purchase through a company or family trust, and the choice between a conveyance and a share purchase changes duty, tax and inherited liabilities. Decide it with tax counsel.

Duty is paid on the full deal value, because in Amrita Shergill Marg the price is several times the circle value. Most of Delhi is under the MCD, where our stamp duty and registration guide gives the all-in cost as 8% in a man’s name, 6% in a woman’s name and 7% joint (stamp duty plus MCD transfer duty, plus 1% registration). Amrita Shergill Marg is in the NDMC area, where the same page shows lower total stamps: 5.5% for a man, 3.5% for a woman and 4.5% for a joint (man and woman) deed. Add the 1% registration fee and the all-in cost is about 6.5% for a man, 4.5% for a woman and 5.5% joint. On a ₹220 crore purchase in a man’s name, that is roughly ₹14.3 crore before TDS. Sources differ on NDMC rates, so confirm the levy with the sub-registrar, and remember the buyer deducts 1% TDS against the seller’s PAN (more if the seller is a non-resident).

Much private land in the zone is on perpetual lease from the Land and Development Office; budget separately for the lessor’s permission and any conversion to freehold. Circle rate vs market rate → · Buying-cost calculator →

Buying on Amrita Shergill Marg: what to verify

The neighbours’ status. With an embassy residence and a state guest house on the street, check for any security overlay, access restriction or easement that touches your plot.
The lease file. Leasehold or freehold, the conversion charge if any, and the lessor’s permission for the transfer.
Plinth and height. Compare the sanctioned plan with what stands. Many Amrita Shergill Marg houses were rebuilt; make sure the rebuild was sanctioned within the LBZ envelope.
Trees. Mature trees on and around the plot are protected; a rebuild design that needs one felled may not be approved.
The selling side. Company ownership, family settlements and probate, with a public notice inviting claims before money moves.
A registered sale deed only, paid through banking channels, with duty on the full consideration and NDMC mutation afterwards.

Where Amrita Shergill Marg deals go wrong

On approvals rather than price. A rebuild that went beyond the old plinth, or a design that depends on removing protected trees, can leave a buyer with a house that cannot be regularised. Get the NDMC file before you get attached to the house. Our buying checklist →
