What each one costs

The money, side by side

Every figure below is published by the project or computed the same way its own page computes it. Nothing is averaged, and a disagreement between sources renders as a range.

Cosmos Express 99Lotus Elise
Asking rate₹9,649
per super sq ft
≈ ₹14,845 per carpet
one listing
₹10,977
per super sq ft
≈ ₹16,887 per carpet
one listing
Both quoted on the same area basis — that is one of the reasons these two are on a page together.
All-in, per carpet sq ft₹21,196a modelled rate card₹23,504a modelled rate card
The quoted rate plus development charges, GST, stamp duty and registration, divided back over carpet area. Same calculation as each project’s own page — statutory rates are published, development charges are marked where we had to model them.
Ticket, as published₹76.73 L – ₹2.63 Cr₹1.45 Cr – ₹3.32 Cr
These overlap. That is the test that put the two on one page: a budget that reaches one reaches the other.

Form REP-I is the developer’s own declaration to Haryana RERA. Where only one of the two has filed, that asymmetry is the finding. It is no mark against the other.

The short version

Where they genuinely differ

Each line names the figure it came from. None of them is advice.

Not compared

Where the record is incomplete

These fields are missing for one or both projects, so no comparison is drawn. Named here rather than left blank, where an absence would read as a finding.

The part you were expecting

We are not going to pick one

There is no winner on this page, and there will not be one. Two homes differ on price, on stage, on who built them and on how hard each would be to sell again, and which of those matters is a question about you rather than about the buildings. A site that ranks two homes is selling one of them. The most useful thing we can do is put the record of both in front of you and be clear about where it runs out.
Deciding between more than two? The Property File keeps your own shortlist, your own notes from each visit, and the all-in cost of each — and it does not pick a winner either.
