DHA Rahbar review: possession by sector, prices and what to check

DHA Rahbar is DHA Lahore’s Phase XI, so it carries DHA’s legal standing: LDA approval doesn’t apply. It’s a separate area off New Defence Road, about 13 km from Thokar Niaz Baig, not part of the main DHA belt. Sectors I to IV have possession, according to DHA’s own notices. A 5 marla plot averaged about Rs 87.8 lakh in asking prices in September 2026, roughly 20% below the DHA-wide average. The one big caveat is Sector V.

Is DHA Rahbar legal?

Yes. DHA’s website lists Rahbar as its own Phase XI, developed and managed by DHA. DHA Lahore is a statutory authority under Chief Executive’s Order No. 26 of 2002 and approves building plans itself, which is why you won’t find Rahbar on LDA’s list. Our DHA Lahore review explains the legal basis.

Has possession been given?

From DHA’s possession notices and dated news:

The delays matter if you’re buying a file: Sector II’s Blocks M, N and P were held back because a water tank wasn’t finished.

What does a plot cost now?

Zameen’s average 5 marla asking price rose from Rs 54.5 lakh (June 2021) to Rs 75.8 lakh (June 2023), barely moved until mid-2025, then reached Rs 87.8 lakh in September 2026, up 61% overall. The DHA-wide 5 marla average was about Rs 1.1 crore in the same month.

A 10 marla plot went from Rs 1.10 crore to about Rs 1.87 crore over the same period.

Gas, electricity and water

• Water and sewerage: supplied and metered by DHA. One-off connection charges total Rs 77,950, including Rs 50,000 for the water meter, per DHA’s Phase XI form.
• Gas: DHA issues NOCs for gas connections in Rahbar, so some houses have gas. We found no SNGPL source on which sectors are covered.
• Electricity: newer blocks have underground wiring. A grid station for Sector IV was announced in 2020, but we couldn’t confirm it was built or who supplies power.

Who is behind it?

DHA Lahore, which has delivered and populated many phases on its own land. Its failures came through partner projects: DHA City Lahore stalled, and in 2019 the Supreme Court voided DHA’s agreements with Eden Housing. We found no primary source on how Rahbar itself started before it was included in Phase XI around 2016.

How easy is it to resell?

Zameen listed 864 plots for sale in Rahbar on 7 October 2026, most of them (367) in Sector 4, plus 45 in Halloki Gardens. That’s an active market, but small next to the 12,619 plots listed across DHA. DHA’s transfer fee is Rs 10,000 per marla in Phases I to XII, half if both parties are members.

Where is it?

Off New Defence Road near Halloki, between Raiwind Road and Ferozepur Road and north of the Ring Road. By road it’s about 13 km from Thokar Niaz Baig and 25.5 km from the GPO. Lake City is a few kilometres to the south. See all Lahore reviews.
