Gurugram’s luxury home market booms, enters a multi-corridor growth phase

Gurugram’s luxury home market booms, enters a multi-corridor growth phase

Gurugram: It is becoming difficult to ignore what is happening in Gurugramโ€™s upper end of the housing market. Transactions in the Rs 10-crore-plus category have been stacking up at a pace that, until recently, was almost exclusively associated with Mumbai. Industry estimates suggest that in 2025 alone, high-value residential sales in the city crossed Rs 24,000 crore. For a market that was once seen largely as a satellite to Delhiโ€™s residential demand, that number carries a certain quiet disruption. What is equally notable is that the demand is not concentrated in one or two prestige addresses anymore. The familiar spine…

South Africa, stupidest team in T20 World Cup, should have eliminated India, says Michael Vaughan

New Delhi: Former England captain Michael Vaughan has stirred debate with a blunt assessment of South Africaโ€™s campaign at the T20 World Cup 2026, arguing that their own decision-making indirectly cleared the path for Indiaโ€™s title run. His argument centred on South Africaโ€™s victory over West Indies in Ahmedabad, a result that confirmed the Proteasโ€™ qualification for the semi-final, while also shaping the qualification scenario for other teams in the group. At that point in the tournament, India had suffered a heavy 76-run defeat to South Africa, a setback that left the side on the verge of elimination. Their route…
