Area Overview
What makes Sector 2C Palam Vihar special
This is a block within Palam Vihar, not Gurugram Sector 2 — and the distinction matters, because both appear on the same list and they are entirely different places.
Palam Vihar is a DLF-developed licensed colony on the north-west side of Gurugram, laid out with its own internal block numbering. Its blocks carry letters and numbers that look like sector names but are not HSVP sectors.
That changes the tenure position too: property here falls under a DTCP licence with a conveyance deed, rather than an HSVP allotment.
