Lush green lawns, glass staircase, Indian accents: Billionaire BJP leader Naveen Jindal’s Delhi villa is 100 years old
Move on from celebrity homes and take a look at a heavenly abode where an Indian billionaire lives. Naveen Jindal, who is also a member of Parliament, owns a spacious bungalow in the upscale neighbourhood of South Delhi, Moti Bagh. Spread across 10,000 square foot, the 100-year-old serene house is the perfect example of modern design meets Indian warmth.
Step inside Naveen Jindal’s contemporary house in Delhi
On Monday, Architectural Digest India offered glimpses of Naveen Jindal’s luxurious residence, which also functions as his workspace where he is believed to host dignitaries and conduct meetings if needed.
The light-filled home is revamped by designer Amina Bhatia, who told AD India that she chose to retain the historical structure of the house rather than completely tearing it down.
Spacious lawns, grand windows and clean architecture
The pristine white house sits amid lush green manichured law. Jindal’s Lutyens’ Delhi home blends the grandeur of its colonial-era architecture with contemporary sensibility. The facade, framed by traditional geometric jaali screens, sweeping verandahs and abundant greenery, creates a beautiful impression at first look. Its large windows and clean architecture make the house stand out even more.
Warm hues
Inside the house, the the colour palette leans heavily towards warm ivory with shades of off-whites, greys and warm browns. The house, with ample sunlight, comes with grand archways, illuminating interiors designed around restraint. The highlight of its interiors is the earthy flooring, wooden furniture, woven rugs and plush neutral sofas, which add warmth. It also has cane-backed armchairs that bring texture and a splash of colour to the overall aesthetics of the space.
A touch of patriotism
The home balances its role as both a public-facing political hub and a private family residence with carefully sorted décor. In the formal receiving areas, framed vintage maps of India, black-and-white photographs, including one featuring PM Narendra Modi, and archival-style images grab the attention. Indian flags on a polished wooden desk and other corners of the house add personal touch to the house.
Elsewhere, the expansive dining and lounge areas feel more intimate. Low-slung wooden coffee tables, dark wood finishes and woven carpets alongside sculptural horse figures reflect Jindal’s passion for polo and horse riding.
A striking glass-panelled staircase, built-in shelving and dramatic multi-pendant lanterns bring back contemporary elements to balance the interiors. Colourful textile wall hangings add a splash of colour to transitional spaces.
The design repeatedly blends old and new world– heritage architecture, clean-lined furniture, traditional Indian references alongside modern lighting, and carefully picked articles instead of excessive ornamentation.
