History

The DLF Group was founded in 1946. We developed some of the first residential colonies in Delhi such as
Krishna Nagar in East Delhi, which was completed in 1949. Since then we have been responsible for the
development of many of Delhi’s other well known urban colonies, including South Extension, Greater
Kailash, Kailash Colony and Hauz Khas.

Following the passage of the Delhi Development Act in 1957, the state assumed control
of real estate development activities in Delhi, which resulted in restrictions on private real
estate colony development. We therefore commenced acquiring land at relatively low
cost outside the area controlled by the Delhi Development Authority, particularly in the
district of Gurgaon in the adjacent state of Haryana.

This led to our first landmark real estate development project – DLF Qutab Enclave,
which has now evolved into DLF City. DLF City is spread over 3,000 acres in Gurgaon
and is an integrated township, which includes residential, commercial and retail
properties in a modern city infrastructure with schools, hospitals, hotels and shopping
malls. It also boasts of the prestigious DLF Golf and Country Club with night golfing
facilities.

Logo Our Ethos

The pyramid symbol and the mission line 'Building India’ is collectively referred
to as the DLF Logo.

The company's name is represented in black capital letters. The typeface


represents the solidity of the enterprise; emphasizes accountability,
responsibility as being a strong and integral part of the Group's ethos.

The pyramid depicts nine smaller pyramids; each composes itself into a larger pyramid all-encompassing in
nature and presentation. The pyramid itself and the component pyramids convey cohesion,
interdependence, support and foundation, to a common purpose and to achieve greater heights.

The words ’BUILDING INDIA’, is in capitals like the company’s name, and at once conveys DLF’s mission
and vision. It is an intrinsic reflection of the Group’s commitment and its 60-year heritage.
