Gaur Chrysalis 2.0 at ₹8,499/sq.ft — the honest math

This is a sourced price analysis, not investment advice. We are the authorised channel partner for Gaur Chrysalis 2.0 — disclosed upfront, so judge what follows on whether the sourcing holds up, not on who's publishing it. Every figure below is dated and marked indicative, independently reported, or drawn from our own pre-launch tracking; nothing here is a recommendation to buy or a return projection.
Demand update — 01 August 2026. The honest math gets a new data point: per the Gaurs sales desk, more than 700 allotment cheques against Gaur Alaris had been logged as of early August 2026, in the order received — a real read on how the ₹8,499/sq.ft* entry rate is landing. That rate holds for a cheque banked today; Gaurs has stated it becomes ₹12,000/sq.ft* only for allotments made after the formal launch, so this doesn't change the arithmetic above for anyone who books now.
On its own, the number is just a number. Set against what actually surrounds it — the ₹8,000→₹11,000 move on the developer's own earlier Chrysalis phase, Eldeco Echoes of Eden's registered ₹9,300/sq.ft next door, and YEIDA's own ₹36,260/sq.m land rate for the corridor — a clearer picture forms. We show the arithmetic below, sourced and dated, so you can weigh it yourself rather than take any one site's word for it, ours included.
1. The number in context: ₹8,499/sq.ft, now RERA-registered as Gaur Alaris
Gaur Chrysalis 2.0's current indicative pre-launch BSP is ₹8,499/sq.ft*. Three qualifiers apply to every figure in this article, and they matter more than the headline number does:
- Indicative — not a confirmed, registered or Agreement-for-Sale price; subject to change without notice.
- RERA-registered — Gaur Chrysalis 2.0 is now registered as Gaur Alaris, UPRERAPRJ950965/07/2026 (registered July 2026). Verify current status yourself at up-rera.in before acting on anything here.
- Access instrument — the project is now RERA-registered as Gaur Alaris, so booking can proceed via a signed Agreement for Sale. Also open today is a free, refundable Expression of Interest (EOI) for buyers who want details first — no payment is collected, it is not a booking, and it does not reserve a specific unit, floor or tower.
On the smaller 3 BHK of 1,550 sq ft (saleable, per the RERA-registered plan), ₹8,499/sq.ft works out to roughly ₹1.32 Cr*. The developer's own stated launch price is ₹12,000/sq.ft*, which would put the same unit at roughly ₹1.86 Cr* — a jump of about 41% once the project moves to its formal launch price. Both figures exclude GST, stamp duty, PLC and other charges; the full cost sheet is shared with registered enquirers on request.
2. The anchor that matters: what happened to Chrysalis Phase 1's price
The most useful anchor for judging ₹8,499/sq.ft isn't an abstract "market average" — it's the same developer's own, earlier phase at the same address. Gaur Chrysalis (Phase 1) — the butterfly-themed predecessor, a genuinely separate and separately RERA-registered project (UPRERAPRJ622344/11/2025, granted 4 November 2025) — launched at an initial Basic Sale Price of approximately ₹8,000/sq.ft, independently reported by Business Standard and corroborated by rival channel-partner blog HedgeHomes. Phase 1 is now sold out as of July 2026 — confirmed directly, not inferred from portal listings (some of which still show stale "active booking" listings for it).
By 22 December 2025 — about seven weeks later — the developer's own price list showed Phase 1's Basic Sale Price at ₹11,000/sq.ft: a rise of ₹3,000/sq.ft, or roughly 37.5%, in under two months. We flag the sourcing difference deliberately: the ~₹8,000 launch figure is independently reported by named press; the ₹11,000 figure is drawn from a developer price-list document tracked in our own pre-launch dossier (per developer material/our tracking) and we have not found it independently republished elsewhere. Treat it as directional, not as confirmed public market data — and treat neither figure as a promise about what Chrysalis 2.0 will do. Phase 1 and Chrysalis 2.0 are separate, separately specified projects (Phase 1's units ran 1,910–2,495 sq ft total area; Chrysalis 2.0's are 1,550 & 1,950 sq ft, per the RERA-registered plan), and Phase 1's post-launch price reflects a now sold-out project, not an open, bookable rate.
| Milestone | Date | Chrysalis Phase 1 BSP |
|---|---|---|
| Launch | ~4 Nov 2025 | ~₹8,000/sq.ft (reported — Business Standard, HedgeHomes) |
| Developer price list | 22 Dec 2025 | ₹11,000/sq.ft (per developer material/our tracking) |
| Change | ~7 weeks | +₹3,000/sq.ft · +37.5% |
| Comparison | Base (₹/sq.ft) | Chrysalis 2.0 rate | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| vs Phase-1 launch (~₹8,000, Nov 2025) | 8,000 | 8,499 (pre-launch) | +6.2% |
| vs Phase-1 Dec-2025 price list (₹11,000, per developer material/our tracking) | 11,000 | 8,499 (pre-launch) | −22.7% |
| vs Phase-1 Dec-2025 price list (₹11,000, per developer material/our tracking) | 11,000 | 12,000 (stated launch) | +9.1% |
| vs Phase-1 launch (~₹8,000, Nov 2025) | 8,000 | 12,000 (stated launch) | +50.0% |
Phase 1 figures: launch BSP per Business Standard (8 Nov 2025 report) and HedgeHomes; December 2025 price-list BSP per developer material tracked in our own dossier, not independently public. Chrysalis 2.0 (now Gaur Alaris) figures are indicative, subject to change.
Read plainly: Chrysalis 2.0's pre-launch rate is only about 6% above where its sister phase started, roughly eight months earlier, and sits about 23% below where that sister phase's own price list stood by December 2025 — though Phase 1 is sold out and its units are differently sized, so this is context, not a substitutable comparison. At its own stated launch rate, Chrysalis 2.0 would price about 9% above Phase 1's December 2025 rate and 50% above Phase 1's original launch rate. None of this is a forecast for Chrysalis 2.0 — it is a record of what one related, now-closed phase actually did, shown so you can weigh it yourself.
3. What Sector 22D actually trades at right now
The most direct live comparison isn't a different phase of the same project — it's a different developer's registered project a few streets away. Eldeco Echoes of Eden, also at Sector 22D, carries a live RERA registration (UPRERAPRJ125342/02/2026) and is open for direct booking today — the one genuine apples-to-apples contrast on this stretch of the corridor, and Chrysalis 2.0 is now itself RERA-registered as Gaur Alaris, UPRERAPRJ950965/07/2026.
| Reference point | RERA status | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Gaur Chrysalis 2.0 | Registered — UPRERAPRJ950965/07/2026 (Gaur Alaris) | ₹8,499/sq.ft pre-launch (→ ₹12,000/sq.ft at stated launch) |
| Eldeco Echoes of Eden (Caelum tower) | Registered — UPRERAPRJ125342/02/2026 | ₹9,300/sq.ft as of July 2026 (was ₹8,999/sq.ft at launch) |
| YEIDA RPS-10/2026 land rate | Not applicable — government plot scheme, not apartments | ₹36,260/sq.m (≈₹3,370/sq.ft), draw held 18 Jun 2026 |
Eldeco Echoes of Eden figures sourced from eldecoeoe.com, our own channel-partner site for that separate project (not Eldeco's own developer website); Caelum tower only, since Haven and Elysian are fully booked and the 2 BHK is sold out project-wide. YEIDA RPS-10/2026 rate per the scheme's own authority allotment rate.
At Chrysalis 2.0's pre-launch rate, Eldeco EOE is already about 9.4% pricier per sq.ft — a premium that arguably buys real contractual certainty, given its live registration and stated January 2031 possession target. But flip to Chrysalis 2.0's own stated launch rate of ₹12,000/sq.ft, and it would be asking about 29% more per sq.ft than Eldeco's current registered rate for the same stretch of Sector 22D — worth weighing before treating the launch price as a formality. For the full side-by-side on RERA status, scale, clubhouse and payment terms, see our Gaur Chrysalis 2.0 vs Eldeco Echoes of Eden comparison.
The YEIDA figure needs a separate, explicit caveat: ₹36,260 per sq.m (roughly ₹3,370/sq.ft) is a government land-allotment rate for raw residential plots under YEIDA's RPS-10/2026 scheme (draw held 18 June 2026) — it is not a resale price, and it is not comparable to a built apartment's BSP, which bakes in construction cost, developer margin, amenities, financing and years of execution risk that a bare plot doesn't carry. It's useful only as corridor-value context, not as a benchmark for whether ₹8,499 or ₹12,000/sq.ft is "right" for a finished apartment — plots and apartments are different products, and treating this as an apples-to-apples comparison would itself be a dishonest shortcut.
4. The bear case, honestly
An honest analysis has to hold the other side of the argument too. None of the following are predictions — they are risks worth weighing before an EOI:
- RERA registration brings escrow protection and a stated possession date. Now that Chrysalis 2.0 is registered as Gaur Alaris (UPRERAPRJ950965/07/2026), a project escrow account and a legally stated possession date (09-06-2031) apply — protections that come with RERA registration.
- Naming is genuinely confusing across three entities. "Gaur Chrysalis 2.0," "Gaur Plume" (the internal codename, and our dedicated site for the project's current status) and the sold-out "Gaur Chrysalis (Phase 1)" are not three competing options — they're marketing-name fragmentation around what is, per the developer, a single new phase. Don't let the multiplicity read as more choice than actually exists; if anything it argues for consolidating your research on one clear source before deciding anything.
- The ₹11,000 Phase-1 figure is internal tracking, not independently public. We've flagged this once already, deliberately again here: unlike the ~₹8,000 launch figure, it hasn't been independently republished elsewhere that we could find. Treat it as directional context, not confirmed market data.
- Phase 1 is sold out — it isn't a live substitute. Its price history is informative context for reading Chrysalis 2.0's number; it is not an option you can actually act on today, and its unit sizes don't match Chrysalis 2.0's configurations.
- Corridor infrastructure is still catching up to the pitch. Publicly reported coverage as of mid-2026 describes the Ghaziabad–Jewar RRTS rail extension as still at a planning/revised-DPR stage, not under construction, and Film City (YEIDA Sector 21) as planned/upcoming rather than operational. Both are frequently cited as reasons for corridor optimism; neither is delivered infrastructure yet.
We are not making a returns claim in either direction. What one related phase did to its price after selling out is not a guarantee of what any specific, still-unregistered project will do.
5. How to verify this yourself, and what the EOI actually means
- Go to up-rera.in and search "Gaur Chrysalis" yourself. As of July 2026 you will find Gaur Chrysalis (Phase 1), UPRERAPRJ622344/11/2025 (sold out), and this project separately registered as Gaur Alaris, UPRERAPRJ950965/07/2026.
- Ask specifically whether any price or spec you're quoted — by us or any other channel partner — comes from a public/RERA-filed source or from internal pre-launch tracking material. It's a fair question, and one we've tried to answer honestly for our own figures above.
- Understand what the EOI actually is: free, fully refundable, no payment collected, not a booking, and it does not reserve a specific unit, floor or tower.
- Ask for the full cost sheet — base BSP, PLC by floor, GST, stamp duty and registration, parking and club charges — before registering interest.
- Chrysalis 2.0's ₹8,499/sq.ft pre-launch rate is ~6% above Phase 1's ~₹8,000/sq.ft launch (Nov 2025) and ~23% below Phase 1's own ₹11,000/sq.ft Dec-2025 price list — the latter from our own tracking, not independently public.
- Phase 1 rose ~37.5% (₹8,000→₹11,000/sq.ft) in about seven weeks before selling out — informative history, not a forecast for Chrysalis 2.0.
- Eldeco Echoes of Eden (Caelum) is RERA-registered at ₹9,300/sq.ft — ~9.4% above Chrysalis 2.0's pre-launch rate, but Chrysalis 2.0's own stated launch rate would sit ~29% above Eldeco's current registered rate.
- YEIDA's RPS-10/2026 land rate of ₹36,260/sq.m (~₹3,370/sq.ft) is a government plot-allotment rate, not an apartment benchmark — plots and finished apartments are different products.
- Now registered as Gaur Alaris (UPRERAPRJ950965/07/2026): escrow protection and a stated possession date (09-06-2031) apply; a free, refundable EOI is also available.

Frequently asked questions
Is ₹8,499/sq.ft a good price for Gaur Chrysalis 2.0?
That depends on your priorities — this is analysis, not advice. At the indicative current rate of ₹8,499/sq.ft*, Chrysalis 2.0 (now Gaur Alaris, UPRERAPRJ950965/07/2026) is pricing only about 6% above where the earlier, now-sold-out Gaur Chrysalis (Phase 1) launched in November 2025 (~₹8,000/sq.ft, reported by Business Standard and HedgeHomes), and roughly 23% below Phase 1's own December 2025 price list of ₹11,000/sq.ft (per developer material/our tracking — not an independently public figure). It also sits about 9% below Eldeco Echoes of Eden's current, RERA-registered rate of ₹9,300/sq.ft, right there in the same part of Sector 22D. The project is now RERA-registered, so that gap now reflects construction-timeline risk rather than pre-RERA risk — still a judgement only you can make.
How does Gaur Chrysalis 2.0's price compare to the original Gaur Chrysalis (Phase 1)?
Gaur Chrysalis (Phase 1), the butterfly-themed predecessor at the same Sector 22D address, launched on 4 November 2025 at approximately ₹8,000/sq.ft (independently reported) and is now sold out. By 22 December 2025 — about seven weeks later — the developer's own price list, tracked in our pre-launch dossier, showed the Basic Sale Price at ₹11,000/sq.ft, a rise of roughly 37.5% in under two months. Chrysalis 2.0's current ₹8,499/sq.ft is about 6% above Phase 1's original launch rate and about 23% below Phase 1's December 2025 rate. Phase 1 and Chrysalis 2.0 are separate, separately specified projects with different unit sizes, so this is context for reading the number, not a like-for-like substitute.
Is Gaur Chrysalis 2.0 cheaper than Eldeco Echoes of Eden?
At today's rates, yes: Chrysalis 2.0's pre-launch ₹8,499/sq.ft is about 8.6% below Eldeco Echoes of Eden's current BSP of ₹9,300/sq.ft (Caelum tower, as of July 2026). But Eldeco Echoes of Eden is already RERA-registered (UPRERAPRJ125342/02/2026) and open for direct booking today, and Chrysalis 2.0 is now likewise RERA-registered as Gaur Alaris, UPRERAPRJ950965/07/2026. And at Chrysalis 2.0's own stated launch rate of ₹12,000/sq.ft, it would be pricing about 29% above Eldeco's current registered rate — worth weighing before treating the launch price as a formality.
What does the YEIDA RPS-10/2026 land rate of ₹36,260/sq.m tell us about apartment pricing?
Not as much as it might seem. ₹36,260 per sq.m (roughly ₹3,370/sq.ft) is YEIDA's own authority allotment rate for raw residential plots under its RPS-10/2026 scheme (draw held 18 June 2026) — it is a government land-allotment price, not a resale value, and not comparable to a built apartment's BSP, which bakes in construction cost, developer margin, amenities and financing. It is useful only as corridor-value context: the gap between ~₹3,370/sq.ft of undeveloped plot and ₹8,499–12,000/sq.ft for a finished Chrysalis 2.0 apartment is the value construction and branding are meant to add — not a signal that either price is "right."
What can I actually book today, and how do I verify the price?
The project is now RERA-registered as Gaur Alaris, UPRERAPRJ950965/07/2026, so booking can proceed; also open is a free, refundable Expression of Interest (EOI) — no payment is collected, and it does not reserve a specific unit. To verify independently: search "Gaur Chrysalis" on up-rera.in yourself; as of July 2026 you will find only Gaur Chrysalis (Phase 1), UPRERAPRJ622344/11/2025 — not a separate "Chrysalis 2.0" listing, and this project is separately registered as Gaur Alaris, UPRERAPRJ950965/07/2026. Ask any channel partner, including us, whether a quoted figure comes from a public/RERA source or from internal pre-launch tracking material.
