“How much is a PG in Delhi?” has no single answer — it depends on the area, the room (single or sharing) and whether food is included. Across Delhi, rooms start from about ₹3,000 a month and run past ₹15,000 for a furnished single with meals. Here is a real, area-by-area picture for 2026, using current starting rents on LSC.
Budget areas (from ₹3,000–4,000)
If the rent matters most:
- Laxmi Nagar — from about ₹3,000, hundreds of rooms on the Blue Line
- Rohini — from about ₹3,800, families and students in the north-west
- Dwarka — from about ₹4,000, well planned, good metro links
These are usually sharing rooms. A single costs more.
Mid-range areas (₹5,000–6,000 to start)
Central and well connected:
- Patel Nagar and Shadipur — from about ₹5,000
- Karol Bagh — from about ₹5,500, very central
- Mukherjee Nagar — from about ₹4,500, the UPSC hub
Premium / coaching areas (₹6,000 and up)
- Old Rajinder Nagar — from about ₹6,000, the UPSC heartland
- Lajpat Nagar — from about ₹6,000, south Delhi
- Saket — from about ₹7,000
What changes the price
Within the same area, rent moves with:
- Occupancy: a single room can cost 1.5–2× a triple-sharing bed
- Meals: a PG with a mess usually adds ₹1,500–3,000
- Furnishing and AC: an AC room is a clear step up
- Deposit: most PGs ask one to two months as deposit — budget for it separately
Always compare rent and deposit together. A low rent with a three-month deposit can cost more upfront than a slightly higher rent with one month down.
