HERC grants 25-year parallel power distribution licence for Gurugram, Nuh to Eleven Power
•The Haryana Electricity Regulatory Commission (HERC) has granted Eleven Power Private Limited a parallel distribution licence for Gurugram and Nuh revenue districts for 25 years under Section 14 of the Electricity Act, 2003.
Forensic impact read
HERC granted a 25-year parallel power-distribution licence for Gurugram and Nuh to a private company, alongside the existing state discom. Over time this can give residents a second electricity supplier; tariffs, the coverage area and rollout timing are what to watch. Update (23 Oct): after a strike by power employees, the state government assured them there would be no privatisation (ThePrint), so whether this licence is actually rolled out is now uncertain. Talks resume on 3 Nov.

Can this report save you lakhs?
Every weak spot in this file is a number you can argue with. Here is what DLF The Arbour's are worth.
06
Negotiate like a king
The weak spots in this report are your argument.
Across the projects we advise on, buyers typically settle 5–10% under the prevailing rate. On a ₹11.1 Cr entry ticket that is ₹56 lakh–₹1.1 Cr. 2 things in DLF The Arbour’s own filings can be argued with. A buyer who arrives with a specific number is negotiating. One who asks for the best price is waiting to be told.
Every project hands the buyer different cards. These are DLF The Arbour’s — read off its own construction, sales and registry data, not general advice about negotiating.
01
Their track record is a fact you are allowed to use
A developer's own delivery history — how many projects it has finished, and how late — is public arithmetic you're allowed to bring to the table. It's a harder conversation for them than a discount request.
02
Their weakest answer is pricing & value
Every project has a lowest-scoring input — the one the sales team has a rehearsed answer for the strengths but rarely for this. It's the question to make them defend, on the record, and to repeat to a second person.

At DLF The Arbour’s ≈ $1.17M entry ticket (indicative FX, Nov 2026), which account funds the purchase decides how freely the money comes back out later — plan it before booking.

TDS on this purchase
Buying primary from the developer above ₹50 lakh, you deduct 1% TDS on each payment (Section 194-IA). Buying a resale unit here from an NRI seller switches the deduction to Section 195 — a much bigger number, and the liability sits with you. TDS, done right →
