DLF, originally known as Delhi Land and Finance, was founded by Chaudhary Raghvendra Singh. In its early decades the company developed a number of residential colonies in and around Delhi. Following changes in regulatory frameworks that limited private development inside the National Capital Territory of Delhi, DLF shifted much of its focus to the adjoining area in Haryana that later became Gurugram, where it built one of India's earliest large-scale privately developed townships.
Under the long-running leadership of Kushal Pal Singh, the company expanded from township development into commercial office space, shopping malls, and integrated mixed-use precincts. K. P. Singh became closely identified with the transformation of Gurugram into a major centre for corporate offices, business process outsourcing, and information technology services.
DLF's portfolio spans:
Beyond the National Capital Region, the company has executed projects in cities including Chennai, Chandigarh, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and Goa.
DLF is widely regarded as one of the principal forces in shaping modern Gurugram, which evolved from agricultural land into a major business district during the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Its developments have influenced the trajectory of organised real estate in India, including the growth of large-format office parks suited to multinational tenants and the introduction of branded retail destinations.
