Your Defence Colony Property Advisors
Ms. Shiveta Raina
Deputy Sales Manager — Defence Colony
Ms. Shiveta Raina leads Gulshan Estate Agents' advisory work across Defence Colony. With deep familiarity across the colony's various blocks — from the premium residential lanes of A Block and B Block to the quieter streets further from the main market — she brings the kind of hyper-local knowledge that only comes from years of active, on-ground presence in this specific locality. Whether you are a family searching for the right builder floor, a landlord looking for a reliable long-term tenant, or an investor evaluating appreciation potential in a particular block, Shiveta will guide you with honest, experienced advice at every stage. Every client she works with is treated as a long-term relationship, not a single transaction — a principle that has defined Gulshan Estate Agents since 1959.
About Defence Colony
Defence Colony is one of South Delhi's most iconic and enduring residential addresses, originally developed in the years following Indian independence to house retired defence personnel and their families. The colony has since evolved into one of the capital's most sought-after residential and commercial localities, attracting buyers and tenants who value its combination of wide, tree-lined streets, well-maintained infrastructure and a strong, established community character. Organised into lettered blocks across its residential and commercial zones, Defence Colony offers a distinctive mix of older independent houses, newer builder floor developments and a vibrant market strip that serves as one of South Delhi's most popular dining and retail destinations. The area benefits from excellent connectivity to Central Delhi and the broader NCR, strong metro access and proximity to key commercial hubs including Lajpat Nagar, Greater Kailash and South Extension. At Gulshan Estate Agents, we have advised clients on property transactions across virtually every block in Defence Colony since the firm's founding in 1959 — giving us a depth of local knowledge that extends well beyond what any listing platform or newer entrant to the market can offer.

Builder Floors

Properties Available in Defence Colony
Defence Colony offers a carefully balanced mix of residential and commercial property formats across its established blocks.
Independent Houses
Independent houses on full plots remain available across several Defence Colony blocks, though supply is limited and competition among buyers is consistently high. These properties attract buyers seeking complete autonomy, generous outdoor space or the potential to develop a new construction on one of South Delhi's most prestigious addresses.
Rental Properties
Defence Colony commands a premium rental market driven by its address prestige, neighbourhood amenities and connectivity. The colony attracts diplomatic tenants, senior corporate professionals and established families. Quality furnished and semi-furnished floors in well-maintained blocks see strong demand and low vacancy periods throughout the year.
Commercial Spaces
The Defence Colony Market and surrounding commercial zones offer retail and office spaces in one of South Delhi's most visited and commercially active market areas. Businesses operating here benefit from consistently high footfall, strong brand visibility and the prestige of a Defence Colony address.
