The Kaushambi Premium — Is It Worth It?
Kaushambi commands a 50–80% price premium over Wave City. This premium is justified if: (1) you need daily walkable metro access to central Delhi, (2) you value premium mall-level commercial access within walking distance, or (3) you need maximum resale liquidity. If none of these are non-negotiable for your situation, Wave City delivers superior physical infrastructure — township planning, green spaces, wide roads, modern construction — at half the price. The ₹80L–₹1.30 Cr saved by buying in Wave City instead of Kaushambi can fund construction of a full independent house on a 194 sqyd plot.
