Is someone able to advise on the rough costs of renting an apartment in Delhi. Very little information on the web that Ive been able to find and prices seem to vary enormously from teh stuff I can find.

Currently in negotiations for a move to India and want to be able to guage what the accommodation allowance will provide.

We would prefer a 3brm (part or fully furnished) apartment in an expat area. Aircon essential. Would like a pool in the complex. I also hear backup power and water is recommended.

Any help would be appreciated including any suggested web links.

Cheers

In Delhi the preferred areas of renting for expats are : 1. Chanakyapuri (Diplomatic Enclave) 2. Vasant Vihar 3. Golf Links 4. Shanti Niketan 5. Westend

All of the above except the first lie in South Delhi. The rents are in the range of Rupees 1.25 Lac + (1,25,000) or around 3000 USD and going up depending on area and size of aprtment and amenities provided.

If you are looking for flat in a complex with a pool try Gurgaon which is a suburb of Delhi in Haryana- neighbouring state. Here there are many apartment complexes available with pools and other amenities. Prices maybe in the same range as in Delhi but with more space and greenery.

Your location will depend on where your workplace will be. If you are going to be working in Gurgaon then you are better of here but if you are going to be in working Delhi (again depending on which part of Delhi) you may stay in Delhi or in Gurgaon. If you going to work with the Embassies then you can commute from Gurgaon.
Try the Hindustan Times classifieds as you may get chepaer deals than the bigger international brokerage firms.Unless your company is paying for the apartment.

If you need more details you can contact me and I will be happy to provide more details to your q's.

RD

Hi RD,

I was reading your response about living Gurgaon and commuting to delhi...what sort of transportation links are there if you don't drive? I'm an American doctoral student and will be living in Delhi for about 4 months for dissertation research. I had to stopover there a week to take care of registration and institutional affiliation matters and ended up with a really serious respiratory infection. So I'd like to find something that's more green or "oxy-rich" but it's been my experience so far that many landlords also increase the price when gearing towards expats/foreigners. At least a few. My needs are a one-bedroom, but in an area where there is a large expat community as unlike Kolkata (where I am now), I won't know a soul!
Regards,
Karen
