DLF Limited or DLF (Delhi Land and Finance) is the India's biggest real estate developer based in New Delhi, India. The DLF Group was founded by Raghuvendra Singh in 1946. DLF developed residential colonies in Delhi such as Shivaji Park ( which was actually its first one), Rajouri Garden, Krishna Nagar, South Extension, Greater Kailash, Kailash Colony and Hauz Khas. In 1957, with the passage of Delhi Development Act, the local government assumed control of real estate development in Delhi and banned private real estate developers.
As a result DLF began acquiring land at relatively low cost outside the area controlled by the Delhi Development Authority, in the district of Gurgaon, in the adjacent state of Haryana. In the mid-1970s, the company started developing DLF City project at Gurgaon. Its upcoming plans include hotels, infrastructure and special economic zones-related development projects.
The company is currently headed by Indian billionaire Kushal Pal Singh. Kushal Pal Singh, according to the Forbes listing of richest billionaires in 2009, now stands as the 98th richest man in the world and the world's richest property developer. The company's US$ 2 billion IPO in July, 2007 created India's biggest IPO in history. In July 2007, DLF announced its first quarter results ending 30 June 2007. The company reported a turnover of Rs. 3,120.98 Crore and PAT at Rs. 1,515.48 Crore.
