Origen Realty starts D-wall work at The Oryza on Dwarka Expressway

Origen Realty has started construction at The Oryza, its first residential project, in Sector 88A on the Dwarka Expressway in Gurugram. In a statement released in the last days of October 2026, the developer said it had awarded the diaphragm wall (D-wall) contract to Indigo Infra Projects Pvt. Ltd., a civil engineering and geotechnical firm that works on foundation and underground structures.

Sector 88A lies along the Dwarka Expressway, which has been operational since 2024 and links Gurugram with Delhi and the airport corridor. The project sits within a licensed master-planned development of 8.26 acres along the expressway. The first phase covers about 4.65 acres.

What the D-wall contract covers

A diaphragm wall is a reinforced concrete wall built into the ground before excavation begins. It holds back soil and keeps the surrounding ground stable during deep digging, which matters most where a basement is planned. The work is the first on-site step in the project's construction.

Varun Sharma, Managing Director of Origen Realty, said the contract marked progress in turning the company's development plans into on-site work. He added that today's homebuyers are looking for confidence, credibility and a clear commitment to execution, and that the D-wall award is an important step for The Oryza. Ashish Tandon, the company's Chief Business Officer, said the company would focus on planned and systematic execution.

Ajit Kumar Jha, Director of Indigo Infra Projects, said the firm would work closely with Origen's team to carry out the D-wall construction. Indigo lists DMRC, DLF, Birla, Bharti Realty, Oberoi Realty, Max Estates and Max Hospitals among its past clients.

What is and is not yet known about the project

The developer's sales gallery for the project opened on 15 October 2026, which the company said was completed in 45 days. The company describes itself as a young, debt-free developer led by a team of experienced professionals. Its founders have more than 30 years of construction experience. Those earlier projects, including DLF Phases 1 and 2 and Sushant Lok 2 and 3, were delivered by the founders and are not Origen-branded developments.

The company's releases describe the homes as 3 BHK residences. The developer has not published its investment, the number of apartments, the price list or the expected possession date. Listing websites quote prices from about ₹3.52 crore and show possession dates that differ from one another. Those figures do not come from the developer, so they should be treated with caution.

The sector has seen recent activity. Experion Developers bought about 7.81 acres in Sector 88A in 2024 for roughly ₹400 crore. Buyers comparing projects in the sector should look at the registered details of each one rather than at marketing material alone.

What it means for buyers

An under-construction home in this stage means the money is tied up for several years, and delivery depends on the builder meeting its timelines. Under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, a registered project must show its approved plans and timelines on the state RERA portal. Listing sites show more than one RERA registration number for this project, so buyers should match the number against the Haryana RERA portal before paying any booking amount.

Origen has not given dates for completion of the D-wall work, the basement or the superstructure. The company said it will continue to execute the project in a planned and structured manner.

• Publication of the RERA registration, unit count and price sheet on the Haryana RERA portal
• A possession date from the developer, and any change to it in later filings
• Progress on the D-wall and basement works, which the developer has not yet dated
• Metro timelines for the Gurugram loop, which differ across sources and should be checked with GMRL or the Haryana government
