Northwest Bengaluru’s Property Prices Set to Outpace City Average, Easing Traffic Challenges

North_West_Bengaluru

According to a report released on August 14 by CRE Matrix, North West Bengaluru, which includes neighborhoods like Peenya, Rajajinagar, Yeshwanthpur, and Malleshwaram is expected to see faster growth in residential sales and prices over the next five years than its counterparts in the IT capital.

North West Bengaluru sees the sale of 2,500 residential units annually on average, or roughly 6% of total sales in the city. According to the reports, the average demand-to-supply ratio in the area is 1.7x, which is the highest of all the micro markets in the city. 

According to the survey, prominent real estate players like Godrej Properties, Mantri, and Birla Estate are actively developing projects in the region. Furthermore, the survey stated that Rs.16,000 crore worth of ongoing and planned infrastructure initiatives could enhance North West Bengaluru’s connectivity with the rest of the city.

Abhishek Kiran Gupta, CEO and co-founder of CRE Matrix and Indextap.com asserts, “North West is the immediate solution to Bengaluru’s massive congestion problem – it has everything – the Greenery, better AQI, best of the residential developer brands, marquee commercial assets already present and some trophy assets coming up shortly, the best of malls – and it is equidistant to the airport as well as CBD Bengaluru.”

Though only contributing 6% of Bengaluru’s yearly residential sales, the region is home to 27% of the city’s population (3.9 million). This suggests significant potential for expansion and alleviation of Bengaluru’s notorious traffic problems.

Bengaluru has the most traffic among Indian megacities with a population of more than 8 million, according to the most recent traffic index study conducted by the Dutch multinational TomTom. The average speed for Bengaluru during rush hour is 18 km/hour and the time lost each year during peak traffic time is about 132 hours. Due to congestion in major employment zones like Outer Ring Road and Whitefield, Bengaluru faces a total productivity loss of Rs 1 Lakh Cr. By 2028, with the completion of metro phases, Northwest Bengaluru is expected to be fully connected to all parts of the city within a travel time of 30 minutes.

Northwest Bengaluru has also witnessed tremendous development in the commercial real estate sector. The region currently has 2.1 million square feet of office space, with seven Grade A assets under construction. Prominent businesses such as Amazon, H&M, Regus, and Samsung have recognized North West Bengaluru as an important destination for their real estate holdings. The area is seen as a tenant’s market, with rental rates expected to increase by 6-8% annually over the next five years. Additionally, strata sales of office units have picked up since 2021, with the region absorbing at least 1.5 lakh sq ft of office space annually. This demand is expected to surpass 2 lakh sq ft in CY 2024, driven by new supply and improved connectivity.

With 45% of office space in North Bengaluru occupied by global capability centers, the region is becoming an integral part of the city’s commercial landscape. As infrastructure and connectivity improve, Northwest Bengaluru is likely to witness robust growth in both residential and commercial real estate, making it a key player in addressing Bengaluru’s traffic congestion and housing demand.

Hyderabad Housing Market Sees Record Growth in H1 2024

Hyderabad Housing Market Sees Record Growth in H1 2024

Hyderabad’s residential market has entered a high-growth phase in H1 CY’24, driven by strong demand and rising ticket sizes. The city recorded its highest-ever sales value in the last five years, indicating sustained buyer confidence and increasing participation in premium housing.

The total value of homes sold reached ₹58,841 crore, marking a sharp rise compared to previous years, as highlighted in the Hyderabad Housing Report H1 CY’24 by CREDAI Hyderabad and CRE Matrix. Developers and investors are actively capitalising on this momentum, especially in high-value segments.

Sales Surge Driven by Strong Demand Across Segments

Hyderabad’s housing market has expanded significantly in both volume and value. Total unit sales have risen sharply since H1 CY’19, while the overall value of transactions has grown at an even faster pace. The market has maintained a strong growth trajectory over the years, supported by a healthy CAGR in sales value.

At the same time, the average ticket size has increased considerably, indicating that buyers are increasingly opting for higher-value homes. This trend highlights a combination of strong end-user demand and a clear shift toward premium housing.

Luxury Housing Emerges as a Key Growth Driver

The luxury segment has become one of the most important contributors to Hyderabad’s housing boom. Buyers are increasingly moving toward premium and ultra-premium properties.

  • Homes priced above ₹10 crore saw a 63X growth in value
  • The ₹5–₹10 crore segment recorded a 449% increase in value
  • Units above ₹10 crore grew nearly 89 times in volume

This trend clearly signals rising affluence and a strong appetite for luxury living.

Mid-Segment Housing Continues to Dominate

Despite the rise of luxury housing, mid-income housing remains the backbone of the market.

The ₹1–₹2 crore segment emerged as the highest-performing category by value in H1 CY’24. This segment continues to attract both end-users and investors due to its balance of affordability and lifestyle offerings.

At the same time, even the sub-₹1 crore segment recorded over 100% growth in value, showing that demand remains broad-based.

Supply Declines While Inventory Gets Absorbed Faster

While demand surged, supply additions slowed down, creating a tighter market.

  • New launches declined from ~50,000 units in H1 CY’22 to ~22,000 units in H1 CY’24
  • Unsold inventory reduced to ~1.05 lakh units
  • Inventory overhang stands at ~16 months

This indicates that the market is moving toward equilibrium, with strong absorption keeping inventory levels in check.

North-West Hyderabad Leads Market Activity

North-West Hyderabad continues to dominate the city’s residential market, contributing the highest share of total value.

The region accounted for 62% of the total value sold, amounting to ₹36,276 crore in H1 CY’24. Strong infrastructure, established micro-markets, and large-scale developments have driven this growth.

  • Value of units sold increased by 206%
  • Unit sales rose by 161%
  • Average ticket size reached ₹1.4 crore

The ₹1–₹2 crore segment remains the most active in this region.

South-West Hyderabad Records Explosive Growth

South-West Hyderabad has emerged as the fastest-growing micro-market in terms of value.

The region recorded a massive 610% growth in the value of units sold, supported by increasing traction in premium housing.

  • Average ticket size rose to ₹2.9 crore
  • The ₹2–₹5 crore segment led demand
  • The market recorded a CAGR of 48%

This reflects a clear shift toward larger homes and premium developments in this corridor.

North-East and South-East Markets Show Steady Growth

Other regions in Hyderabad are also witnessing consistent expansion, supported by affordability and infrastructure development.

North-East Hyderabad

  • Value of units sold increased by 179%
  • Average ticket size stands at ₹1 crore
  • Demand remains strong in the sub-₹1 crore segment

South-East Hyderabad

  • Value grew by 281%
  • Average ticket size reached ₹70 lakh
  • Affordable housing continues to drive demand

These regions continue to attract first-time homebuyers and budget-conscious investors.

Hyderabad Remains More Affordable Than Other Metros

Compared to Bengaluru and Gurugram, Hyderabad still offers relatively affordable housing options.

Most transactions in Hyderabad continue to occur below ₹7,000 per sq. ft., unlike other metros where prices have moved significantly higher.

At the same time, developers in Hyderabad offer larger apartment sizes, making the city more attractive for end-users seeking value for money.

Hyderabad’s housing market shows no signs of slowing down. Strong demand, rising incomes, and increasing preference for premium housing will continue to drive growth.

However, limited new supply could tighten the market further, pushing prices upward in the coming quarters. Developers with ready inventory and well-located projects are likely to benefit the most.

Overall, Hyderabad stands out as one of the most resilient and high-performing residential markets in India today.

This deal demonstrates the surge in demand for land in this bustling suburban area.

MRF Leases 3.85 lakh sq. ft Warehousing Space in Pune’s Mawal Area

MRF Leases Warehouse

Indian multinational tyre manufacturing company MRF has secured the lease of 3.85 lakh sq ft of large warehousing space in village Sudvadi, Mawal area of Pune district. The Chennai-headquartered company has signed the lease deal with NDR Tradehouse for an initial monthly rental of approximately Rs 1.05 crore. It also has an escalation clause that will increase the annual rental by 4.5% every year. This suggests that there is a strong demand for warehouse spaces in India’s expanding logistics industry.

As per documents procured from CRE Matrix, this agreement was registered on 18 July for an initial five-year tenure with a provision for its extension of another five years. A lock-in period of three years ensures a minimum commitment from both parties. Additionally, MRF will pay common area maintenance charges of Rs 3.85 lakh per month and has made an upfront security deposit of Rs 3.14 crore, equivalent to three months’ rental payments. This provides financial security to NDR Tradehouse.

One of the unique features of this lease agreement is the provision for MRF to expand its warehousing space by an additional 2 lakh sq ft within three years. If NDR Tradehouse fails to provide this additional space when required by MRF, the lock-in clause will not be binding. 

In recent years, India has experienced a notable surge in the leasing of warehouse facilities. This is mostly due to the swift rise of e-commerce, the imposition of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), and the growing need for effective supply chain management. There has been an increase in warehouse leasing activity in major cities and developing industrial clusters as businesses look to improve distribution networks and optimize logistics.
