Flatmates & Roommates in Rohini, Delhi
Updated 14 Oct 2026
Rohini is one of Delhi's biggest planned residential districts — dozens of numbered sectors in the north-west, laid out in DDA flats, group housing and builder floors, with the Red Line metro running along it. It is not glamorous, and it is not trying to be: it is a practical, affordable place to live, with colleges, hospitals and markets of its own. Rooms are listed here and the people who would want them mostly don't know it yet.
Who lives here
Students at the colleges in and around Rohini, including the management and technical institutes in its sectors and Delhi Technological University further out, hospital staff, and people working in north and west Delhi who want a lower rent.
What keeps demand here. The colleges and institutes in Rohini's sectors, Delhi Technological University on Bawana Road, Dr Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital, the offices at Netaji Subhash Place and Pitampura, and the Red Line metro.
Where to live, area by area
Rents below are indicative ranges for a private room in a shared flat, before deposit. Confirm the number with the person before you commit to anything.
The sectors close to Rohini East, Rohini West and Rithala stations are the most sought after: the metro takes you to Kashmere Gate and the city centre without a change. Rents are at the top of Rohini's range and rooms go quickly.
₹9,000 – ₹16,000 / month for a private room
Several sectors host colleges and institutes, and rooms around them are aimed at students — PGs with meals, twin and triple sharing, and simple single rooms. Busy in term, quieter in the holidays.
₹7,000 – ₹12,000 / month for a private room
Rohini's original sectors, with mature trees, markets and DDA flats. Good value and a settled neighbourhood feel, with the Ambedkar hospital and local markets close by.
₹7,500 – ₹13,000 / month for a private room
Further out, with newer group housing and more space for the money. A longer ride to the metro, so a two-wheeler helps; rents are the lowest in Rohini.
₹7,000 – ₹11,000 / month for a private room
How long it actually takes to get places
| Destination | Typical time |
|---|---|
| Kashmere Gate / Old Delhi | 30–45 min by Red Line from Rohini's stations |
| Connaught Place | 45–60 min by Red Line and a change to the Yellow or Blue Line |

| Pitampura and Netaji Subhash Place offices | 10–20 min by metro or road |
What it actually costs per month in Rohini
Rent is the number people compare, and it is rarely the number that decides anything. This is the realistic all-in figure for one person sharing a flat in Rohini.
| What you pay | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Room rent (private, shared flat) | ₹7,000 – ₹16,000 |
| Deposit (one-off) | ₹7,000 – ₹32,000 (1–2 months) |
| Maintenance & utilities | ₹1,500 – ₹3,500 (AC is the variable) |
| Food | ₹5,000 – ₹8,000 |
| Local transport | ₹800 – ₹2,000 (Red Line metro) |
| Realistic monthly total | ₹14,000 – ₹27,000 |
NCR deposits are the gentlest of the big metros — one to two months is normal in Delhi proper, though Gurgaon societies often ask two to three. Read the security deposit guide before you hand anything over, and get the refund terms written on the receipt.
Flatmate, roommate or PG — which one do you actually want?
The words get used interchangeably and they are not the same thing, which matters when you are searching.
- A flatmate shares the flat but has their own room. You split rent and bills, cook or order separately, and keep your own space. This is what most working professionals in Rohini mean when they say flatmate.
- A roommate shares the room itself. Cheapest option by a wide margin — often 40 to 50 percent less than a private room — and common among students and first-jobbers who are saving hard.
- A PG gives you a bed with meals and cleaning handled, plus house rules and often a gate timing. Simpler to start, less freedom, and once you split a flat three ways the cost difference usually disappears.
Bunkd covers all three. You set whether you want your own room or are happy sharing one, and the matching works the same way either direction. If a PG is what you are after, the honest PG versus flatshare comparison is worth five minutes before you sign.
When to look
Student demand peaks from July to September as academic years start, and Rohini's institutional sectors fill first. Working tenants turn over through the year. Rents here move less than in south Delhi, and owners with an empty room in the quieter months will often negotiate. Deposits are gentle by metro standards — one to two months is normal.
What to check before you pay anything
- Ask how far the room is from the metro in minutes — the sectors are big.
- Check whether electricity is metered separately, especially for AC in summer.
- Ask about tenant verification; Delhi Police expects landlords to do it.
- Visit in the evening to see how the lane feels after dark.
- Get the deposit and notice period in writing.
Finding the person, not just the room
Most flatshares fail on lifestyle, not on rent. Bunkd asks the things that actually decide whether living together works — sleep schedule, cleanliness, social battery, guest policy, food preference and your one real dealbreaker — and matches on those. You swipe through people, match when it is mutual, and chat inside the app before anyone shares a phone number.
If you have not found a flat yet, Squad Mode lets you match with other people searching in Rohini so you can pool budgets and take a 2BHK or 3BHK together. Splitting a bigger flat is almost always cheaper per person than renting a single room alone — the rent split calculator works out a fair division when the rooms are not the same size.
Have a spare room instead? List it free and choose who fills it yourself.
