Quick Comparison (October 2026)
| DHA Phase 6 E Extension | DHA Phase 8 Ivy Green (Z Block) | |
|---|---|---|
| Development | Premium, highly developed, mature | Emerging, infrastructure expanding, construction ongoing |
| 5 Marla plot | Rs 1.10 to 1.35 Crore | Rs 75 Lac to 1.15 Crore |
| 10 Marla plot | Rs 2.10 to 2.25 Crore | Rs 1.70 to 2.10 Crore |
| Liquidity (how fast plots sell) | Very high, an end-user market | Moderate, dominated by files and investors |
| Rental income | Immediate once a house is built | Deferred, perhaps 3 to 5 years |
The Price Gap, Calculated
| E Extension | Ivy Green | |
|---|---|---|
| 5 Marla, price per marla | Rs 22 to 27 Lac | Rs 15 to 23 Lac |
| 10 Marla, price per marla | Rs 21 to 22.5 Lac | Rs 17 to 21 Lac |
Notice what this shows:
- At the low end, Ivy Green is cheaper by about Rs 35 Lac (5 Marla) and Rs 40 Lac (10 Marla).
- At the top end, the gap shrinks to about Rs 20 Lac (5 Marla) and Rs 15 Lac (10 Marla).
- The top of the Ivy Green 10 Marla range (Rs 2.10 Crore) equals the bottom of the E Extension range.
So a well-positioned Ivy Green plot saves you much less than the headline range suggests.
Pros and Cons
DHA Phase 6 E Extension
Pros
- Fully developed, mature area
- Plots sell quickly, since it’s an end-user market
- You can build and rent out right away
Cons
- Higher entry price
- Much of the development value is already in the price, so fast appreciation is less likely (this is our opinion, not a guarantee)
- Higher total cost once you build
DHA Phase 8 Ivy Green (Z Block)
Pros
- Lower entry price, with 5 Marla from Rs 75 Lac
- Room for growth as infrastructure develops (again, not guaranteed)
- 10 Marla from Rs 1.70 Crore
Cons
- Construction and development are still ongoing
- Moderate liquidity, with market sentiment affecting prices
- Rental income may take 3 to 5 years, so your money can stay tied up
Which Suits You?
There is no single best answer. It depends on your goal:
- You want to build or rent soon, or want an easy exit: E Extension is the more natural fit.
- You have a smaller budget and can wait 3 to 5 years: Ivy Green may be worth a look, provided you verify the plot’s status, position, and dues.
Returns are never guaranteed in either area. This is general information, not financial advice.
