DTCP Clears the Way for Three Sixty North

There is a particular quiet that settles over a project once its paperwork is finally, unambiguously in order, and this week that quiet arrived for Three Sixty North, Oberoi Realty's first venture into the National Capital Region. In an order dated August 13, 2026, the Haryana Department of Town and Country Planning held that Licence No. 69 of 2025 and the June 2025 approval transferring development rights to Oberoi Realty remain legally valid. With that single administrative sentence, months of uncertainty hanging over one of Gurugram's most closely watched luxury addresses began to lift.

The dispute had its roots in the layered history of the land itself. The dispute centres around a 14.8-acre land parcel in Sector 58, Gurugram, located along Golf Course Extension Road, and the controversy dates back to the earlier development history of the Sector 58 land parcel. The land had previously been associated with licences issued between 2009 and 2012 and was initially linked with the Grand Hyatt Residences project. It was against this backdrop that Advance India Projects Limited, a party with its own claims to the parcel's past, filed a representation challenging Oberoi's standing. AIPL challenged these developments and raised objections concerning the transfer of the licensed land and development rights, along with allegations relating to the applicable foreign direct investment framework — allegations that, importantly, were never proven and that the DTCP has now formally set aside.

The matter had travelled to the Punjab and Haryana High Court, which, wary of the scale of the development and the interests of homebuyers already invested in it, did not let the dispute proceed unchecked. In July, the court directed the DTCP to examine AIPL's representation and pass a reasoned order after hearing all relevant stakeholders, and had also temporarily restricted further allotments in the project and the creation of additional third-party rights while the regulatory complaint remained pending. For a project fresh off a headline-making launch, that interim caution was a real constraint, however temporary it was always understood to be. Oberoi Realty had maintained that the prior court order did not impact existing sales or construction of the project, and that this clarification poses no adverse impact on its business operations moving forward.

With the DTCP's ruling now on record, that constraint has formally ended. With the DTCP order, restrictions on fresh allotments and creation of third-party rights have ceased to operate. The department was unequivocal in its language too, rejecting AIPL's plea for cancellation of the licence and the change-of-developer approval, calling the claims, as one report put it, "without any merit." For a buyer weighing a decision on Three Sixty North, this is the detail that matters most: the legal cloud that briefly slowed fresh bookings has been cleared by the very authority responsible for the project's licensing.

What makes the timing especially significant is the sheer scale of interest Three Sixty North has already drawn. Gross bookings achieved at the Three Sixty North project during its launch in July 2026 reached ₹8,109 crore, with total RERA carpet area booked standing at 13.52 lakh sq ft. Few debut projects anywhere in the country arrive with numbers of that order, and fewer still are a developer's first step into an entirely new city. In June 2026, Oberoi Realty entered the Delhi-NCR market for the first time with Three Sixty North in Gurugram — proof that the Oberoi promise of considered, landmark living is no longer confined to one city's skyline.

The project itself justifies some of that appetite. Spread across roughly fourteen and a half acres on Golf Course Extension Road in Sector 58, Three Sixty North is built around seven towers and a philosophy of restraint rather than density. It mixes very large homes with a high-street shopping stretch called The Boulevard, a grand clubhouse, green open spaces and a school, with homes coming as 4 BHK of 5,600 sq.ft and 5 BHK of 8,500 sq.ft, with just one home per floor, 13-foot ceilings and deep balconies. It is the kind of low-density, one-apartment-per-core planning that Oberoi has long favoured in its Mumbai addresses, now transplanted onto a stretch of Gurugram real estate that has itself matured considerably over the last decade.

For prospective buyers, the practical takeaway is straightforward: normal sales and allotment activity at Three Sixty North has resumed. That said, a few threads of litigation, including proceedings before the Supreme Court, remain part of the project's paper trail, and the developer's own disclosures note that no adverse orders exist against Oberoi's ownership and development rights. Anyone entering a booking conversation now does so with the comfort of a licence that has been independently examined and upheld — a rare thing to be able to say with such certainty about a project barely two months into its life.
