Amenities & Facilities Defining Ultra-Luxury Living in Delhi-NCR (2025 Guide)


Ultra-luxury in Delhi-NCR = rare, low-density homes with private/priority access (lifts, valet), resort-grade wellness, high security, sustainability badges (IGBC/GRIHA), EV-ready parking, and meticulous compliance (RERA + UBBL/NBC). This guide shows what to demand, how to verify, and how to score any project—so you only shortlist the truly exceptional. igbc.ingrihaindia.orgMinistry of Housing and Urban Affairs

  • EV-ready parking is policy-backed: MoHUA’s Model Building Bye-laws require charging provision for 20% of parking capacity (states/authorities adopt this via local byelaws). Ministry of Housing and Urban AffairsNITI AAYOGIEA
  • Delhi is in Seismic Zone IV (high damage-risk)—ask for structural design per IS 1893 (Part 1):2016. Ministry of Earth ScienceInternet Archive
