DLF-Trident JV sells ₹2,300 Cr worth luxury flats in Mumbai in just 7 days
Developed under a Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) scheme in Andheri West, The Westpark marks DLF's strategic re-entry into the Mumbai market after over a decade. The joint venture, in which DLF holds 51% and Trident 49%, launched the first phase of the 5-acre project at a premium pricing of ₹42,000–₹47,000 per sq ft, with apartments priced between ₹4 crore and ₹7.5 crore.
"Mumbai has always been a key component of our national growth strategy. With The Westpark, we are proud to offer a development that resonates with the aspirations of the city's discerning residents," said Aakash Ohri, Joint MD and Chief Business Officer, DLF Home Developers Ltd.
The duo plans to invest ₹900 crore in building the project, which sold out entirely within days, signalling robust demand for luxury homes in India's financial capital.
This is not the first time DLF has hit a home run this year. Just last month, it sold out 1,164 units in its Gurugram project DLF Privana North for approximately ₹11,000 crore. Together, the Mumbai and Gurugram launches have helped DLF cross 50% of its annual sales booking guidance of ₹20,000–₹22,000 crore in the first few months of FY26. DLF's previous stint in Mumbai real estate included a 17-acre land deal with Lodha Developers for ₹2,700 crore in 2012 and a short-lived JV with Akruti City. But the company had since stayed away from India's most expensive housing market—until now.
With The Westpark, DLF is betting big again. The project's full sellout in record time reflects both brand equity and a surge in demand from affluent buyers for high-end homes in strategic locations.
DLF's Record Year
DLF reported a record sales booking of ₹21,223 crore in FY25, up 44% from the previous year. Net profit for the fiscal surged to ₹4,366.82 crore, with revenues touching ₹8,995.89 crore. The developer has more than 280 million square feet of development potential across residential and commercial projects, and an annuity portfolio exceeding 45 million sq ft.
Key points to note:
Pricing and Configuration
Development & Investment
Phase 1 Construction Cost: Approx. ₹900 crore
Entire Project Launch: Part of DLF's strategic re-entry into Mumbai after over a decade
Project Type: Luxury residential gated development
Expected Timeline: Underway; development work to follow full sellout of Phase 1
All Phase 1 units (416 flats across four 37-storey towers) sold out in under a week, driving DLF's Mumbai debut success.
The non-resident Indians made up around 20% of buyers, with penthouses priced at ₹35 crore each (approx ₹70,000/sq ft).
The ₹900 crore development plan for the 5-acre Phase 1 is within a larger 10-acre SRA master plan.

Synopsis Anupam Mittal, the founder of has criticised the United States for its sluggish progress on trade and visa matters, in contrast to the UK's more welcoming stance. He highlighted the significant contributions of Indians to the US economy, especially in the fields of technology and finance, while urging India to assert its economic influence and demand fair treatment. Anupam Mittal (Image: Linkedin) founder Anupam Mittal didn't hold back as he criticised the United States for dragging its feet on trade and visa matters. In a viral post on LinkedIn, Mittal praised India's new trade agreement with the UK, calling it a major shift in global power dynamics.'After years of colonial hangover, it's finally India calling the shots,' he wrote, taking a clear dig at the US for failing to keep the UK seems to be rolling out the red carpet, Mittal said the US is still 'playing hardball.' He pointed out the irony, Indians are no longer just exporting goods, they're actually powering the American economy.'Tech? Mostly run by Indians. Wall Street?

Shaadi.com founder slams US for visa, trade delays: 'Indians are building US economy'
founder Anupam Mittal shared a message for US after India's recent breakthrough trade agreement with the UK. In a viral LinkedIn post, Mittal hailed the new trade deal as a symbolic close to colonial baggage. 'After years of colonial hangover, it's finally India calling the shots,' he wrote, criticising US for not following through in a similar way. Anupam Mittal argued that America's stance shows more 'posture than partnership" 'While the UK's rolling out the red US seems to be playing hardball. Here's the irony > We're not just exporting goods & services anymore. Indians are shining brighter than diamonds & building the US economy. Tech? Mostly run by Indians. Wall Street? Flooded with Indian-origin fund managers. P&G's latest CEO? Indian again. And VC-backed startups? At least one Indian founder on the cap table. There was a time when being Indian was a ceiling in corporate America. Now it's almost a prerequisite," he said. However, Mittal pointed out, US has not adapted its policy approach accordingly, even as Indians are "building the US economy". He argued that America's stance shows more 'posture than partnership", and India needs to flex its diplomatic and economic muscle. 'India needs a favourable trade deal, but it is engaging on its own terms. So dear America, doesn't look like bullying will work. India should issue a counter ultimatum—play ball or we bring back our Kohinoors," he added, sharing an AI-generated picture of himself at Times Square. The post struck a chord online with many supporting his call for an ultimatum to US. "India's no longer waiting for a seat, it's redesigning the table, and this is just the start. It is all going to be about talent, tech, leadership, and leverage," said one of them. Another added, "The rise of Indian leadership in global business is undeniable. What's missing now is policy support that matches the impact of this talent. "

Americans furious as Miami hotel hires Indian virtual receptionist over local staff: 'Is this how you do business in the USA?'
Indians are making waves across the globe, but a virtual Indian receptionist at a Miami hotel wasn't on anyone's 2025 bingo card. La Quinta Inn in Miami is now facing backlash after it was revealed that guests are being checked in via video call by staff based in India, rather than by local front desk employees. While some social media users applauded the efficiency, many criticised the move, arguing the hotel should be hiring locally to support the community and boost the U.S. job market. Miami Inn under fire for outsourcing front desk jobs to India La Quinta Inn in Miami is facing major backlash after a video showed the hotel has outsourced its front desk operations to India. Instead of being greeted by a local receptionist, guests are now welcomed via video call by a virtual representative based thousands of miles away. In the now-viral video, an Indian man connected virtually is seen guiding the guest through the process. The move has sparked criticism from locals, with many seeing it as part of a growing trend of American jobs being sent overseas. Locals argue that the hotel should be hiring locally to support the community and provide employment opportunities within the U.S. 🔥🚨BREAKING: This La Quinta Inn hotel located in Miami is under massive fire after they hired employees located in India to check guests in instead of having Americans at the front desk. Outrage online as Miami hotel checks in guests from India Furious netizens slammed the hotel for outsourcing jobs abroad instead of supporting local workers. One user tagged the hotel, writing, "Is this how you do business in the USA? You prefer to hire employees of a third-world country rather than employees of a first-world country to save pennies?" "This is almost comical at this point. India needs to be paying Americans to have to deal with them," another said.

Outsourcing saves money, but at what cost to community trust and local opportunity? Why U.S. rely so heavily on Indian talent Indian professionals make up a significant portion of the U.S. workforce, thanks to their strong technical skills and educational background, particularly in STEM fields. This trend has only accelerated in recent years, with increasing demand for expertise in areas like software development, data science, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence. According to Financial Express, more than 70% of all H-1B work visas in 2023 were granted to Indian applicants, underscoring the vital role they play in sustaining U.S. innovation and competitiveness. This reliance, however, has also sparked debates around job availability, immigration policies, and the need to balance domestic hiring with international talent acquisition. Still, industry experts agree that without access to global talent, particularly from India, the U.S. tech ecosystem would face significant slowdowns in growth and innovation.
