Kushal Pal Singh (born 15 August 1931) is an Indian billionaire real estate developer and retired military officer. Singh was the chairman and chief executive officer of the Indian real estate company DLF, founded by his father-in-law Chaudhary Raghvendra Singh, until 2020. Singh built DLF into the largest real estate company in India and DLF holds India's largest land bank of more than 10,000 acres. His autobiography, named Whatever the Odds: The Incredible Story Behind DLF, was published in 2011; Jack Welch spoke at the launch.
Singh has been noted for making Gurgaon, Haryana, from a village into a modern and developed city. Singh has also been noted for his relationship with the Nehru-Gandhi political family, which, according to him, benefited his businesses especially during its early stages, and has also been a source of controversy during his career. In October 2024, Singh was ranked 12th on the Forbes list of India's 100 richest, with a net worth of $20.5 billion.
