Most Delhi roads are named after places or people. Press Enclave Marg is named after what it connects — the Press Enclave, the residential and institutional colony developed for media professionals adjacent to Saket and Malviya Nagar. The road itself has become something larger than its name suggests. Running through the heart of South Delhi’s most active residential and commercial belt, it ties together Malviya Nagar, Saket’s institutional area, Geetanjali Enclave, and the Outer Ring Road into a single arterial corridor that residents of multiple South Delhi localities use as their primary road reference. Malviya Nagar Metro Station on the Yellow Line sits directly on it. Nexus Select CityWalk is within walking distance of its Saket end. And the residential colonies that line and access it — Shivalik Colony, Geetanjali Enclave, Sheikh Sarai, and Press Enclave itself — represent some of South Delhi’s most established housing stock.
Press Enclave Marg runs through PIN codes 110017 (covering Malviya Nagar and Geetanjali Enclave sections) in South Delhi. The road falls under the Hauz Rani ward and Malviya Nagar assembly constituency for the section adjacent to Geetanjali Enclave, and under the Chirag Delhi ward, Greater Kailash assembly constituency for the Sheikh Sarai Phase II section. The post office for both sections is South Malviya Nagar. National Highway 24 and NH-48 are both accessible from the road’s connections.

The Road and What Makes It Significant
Press Enclave Marg is not a neighbourhood in itself — it is the arterial spine of a particular South Delhi geography. What makes it notable is the unusual density of useful things it connects within a short distance. Malviya Nagar Metro Station sits on the road, making it the physical access point for the Yellow Line for a wide radius of South Delhi residents. The PVR Cinemas multiplex near the Saket end of the road has been a landmark since before the metro arrived. Regular DTC bus services — routes 448, 448A, 493, 500, 512, 522A, 534, 548, and others — run from the A Block Saket bus stop near the metro station, covering South and Central Delhi corridors.
The road’s role in property descriptions across the surrounding belt is instructive. Residents of Geetanjali Enclave, Malviya Nagar, Shivalik Colony, and Sheikh Sarai all cite Press Enclave Marg as their primary connectivity reference — the road that gives them access to Saket’s commercial hub, the metro, and the Outer Ring Road within a single arterial connection. That cross-colony utility is what elevates the road beyond a simple neighbourhood address.
Press Enclave — the residential colony itself — sits in Saket with PIN code 110017, and its blocks (A through N) house DDA flats and independent floors built for the media community that historically populated this part of South Delhi. Doordarshan’s offices, AIR (All India Radio), and press institutions were among the professional anchors that originally justified the colony’s development. The neighbourhood retains this slightly media and institutional character even as the broader Saket belt has evolved into a premium residential and commercial destination.
Metro Connectivity: Yellow Line Station on the Road Itself
Malviya Nagar Metro Station is located on Press Enclave Marg — the station’s official recorded address is “Press Enclave Marg, Malviya Nagar, New Delhi 110017.” The underground station opened on 3 September 2010 and serves the Yellow Line running from Samaypur Badli to Huda City Centre in Gurugram. One exit opens directly into Geetanjali Enclave, the other toward Malviya Nagar’s A Block. This dual-exit arrangement makes the station genuinely walkable for two distinct residential colonies simultaneously — a design advantage that not all metro stations on this corridor share.
From Malviya Nagar Metro Station heading south on the Yellow Line: Saket and Qutab Minar stations cover the Saket-Mehrauli commercial and residential arc toward Gurgaon. Heading north: AIIMS, Hauz Khas, IIT Delhi, and onward through Central Delhi to Chandni Chowk, Kashmere Gate, and Samaypur Badli. The Hauz Khas interchange with the Magenta Line — approximately 2 kilometres from Malviya Nagar station — extends metro reach toward Noida Botanical Garden and IGI Airport in separate directions.
Select CityWalk, Saket District Centre, and the Mall Belt
Select CityWalk — Delhi’s busiest premium mall, opened in October 2007 and spread across 6 acres in Saket District Centre — is within 2 kilometres of the Press Enclave Marg corridor. DLF Avenue, DLF South Court, and MGF Metropolitan complete the Saket mall belt. The Sheraton New Delhi, Hilton Garden Inn, and Svelte Delhi hotels all identify themselves using Saket District Centre and Press Enclave Marg as reference addresses — confirming the road’s role as a navigational anchor for the commercial belt.
For residents of the localities along Press Enclave Marg, Select CityWalk’s dining, cinema, and retail options are not a special weekend destination — they are the default evening option, accessible by a short drive or even a walk from the closer residential blocks.
Residential Character of the Connecting Localities
The localities connected by Press Enclave Marg each carry their own housing identity. Geetanjali Enclave is a DDA cooperative society of 174 plots developed in the 1980s with the metro exit built into one of its gates. Malviya Nagar offers DDA flats, independent houses, and builder floors at approximately ₹25,900 per sq. ft. average. Shivalik Colony, accessed from the marg, has apartment rates at approximately ₹28,000 per sq. ft. Press Enclave proper sits in Saket’s DDA colony belt with a mix of older flats and newer builder floors. Sheikh Sarai Phase II borders the marg and offers further mid-segment housing options. Together these localities produce the rental and ownership market served by the road’s metro and road access.
Max Super Speciality Hospital is accessible within 2 kilometres of the corridor. Pt. Madan Mohan Malviya Hospital is nearby for government healthcare. Fortis C-DOC and National Heart Institute serve the broader belt. Schools including Kalka Public School, DAV Public School, and Tagore International are within the localities that access the marg.
Living on or Near Press Enclave Marg
The honest character of living on or near Press Enclave Marg is a trade-off between access and congestion. The road carries heavy traffic — its junction with Outer Ring Road, the presence of multiple malls nearby, and the metro station access combine to create consistent peak-hour slowdowns. Residents of the connecting colonies consistently mention traffic congestion and limited parking in commercial stretches as the road’s primary challenges.
What the road delivers in exchange — Yellow Line metro access, Select CityWalk proximity, IGI Airport in 11 kilometres, Saket District Centre commercial hub within easy reach, and DTC bus coverage to multiple Delhi corridors — makes it one of South Delhi’s most functionally comprehensive arterials.
