Across 14 key micro markets in seven major cities, capital values rose between 24% and 139%, while rentals grew 32%–81% between end-2021 and Q2 2025.
Top gainer: Sector-150, Noida emerged as the national leader, with property prices soaring 139% to ₹13,600 per sq. ft and rents up 71% to ₹27,300/month, powered by large-scale township projects and investor demand.
Bengaluru’s boom: Sarjapur Road (up 79% in prices, 81% in rents) and Thanisandra Main Road (up 81% in prices, 65% in rents) benefited from IT corridor expansion and upcoming metro lines.
Hyderabad’s tech hubs: Gachibowli saw an 87% price rise and 66% rent growth, while HITEC City gained 70% in prices and 58% in rents, thanks to strong IT demand and limited ready-to-move inventory.
Pune’s steady climb: Wagholi and Hinjewadi clocked 40% price growth, with rentals rising up to 69%, fuelled by affordability and corporate leasing.
Mumbai MMR: Chembur (prices up 53%, rents 46%) and Mulund (50%, 32%) gained from metro and freeway connectivity.
Other key risers: Kolkata’s Rajarhat (37% prices, 40% rents), Chennai’s Pallavaram (24%, 46%) and Perambur (26%, 39%) underline how transit access drives returns.
Drivers of growth: Infrastructure upgrades, proximity to job hubs, master-planned developments, and affordability were the common success factors.
“The recovery that began in 2021 was driven by pent-up demand, record-low interest rates, and a structural shift toward homeownership after the pandemic. In the early recovery years, annual rental increases of 12–24% were common in prime employment hubs. By H1 2025, rental growth had moderated nationally to 7–9% — still ahead of consumer inflation, but a lot more sustainable,” said Anuj Puri, Chairman – ANAROCK Group.
Capital values followed a similar trajectory of rapid appreciation between 2021-2023, followed by steadier gains as new supply hit the market and buyers became more price sensitive. Notably, infrastructure-led markets (those benefiting from new metro lines, expressways, or new planned tech hubs) continued to defy this cooling trend.
Bengaluru: Sarjapur Road & Thanisandra
Bengaluru’s tech corridors are still a magnet for capital and rental growth. Sarjapur Road, part of the city’s eastern IT belt, has surged 79% in capital values and 81% in average 2BHK rents (₹38,000/month), aided by the upcoming Red Line Namma Metro and the proposed ‘Swift City’ mega-tech hub.
In the north, Thanisandra Main Road has clocked an even higher 81% capital gain, with rents up 65%, driven by proximity to Manyata Tech Park and improved road links.
Hyderabad: HITECH City & Gachibowli
In the western corridor, HITECH City has seen 70% price growth and 58% rent appreciation. Gachibowli has fared even better—87% price growth and 66% rental rise—thanks to a concentration of MNC offices, international schools, and high-end housing.
Pune: Hinjewadi & Wagholi
Hinjewadi, home to Pune’s largest IT park, posted 40% price growth and 60% rent gains. Wagholi matched the capital growth but led rentals with a 69% surge, attracting first-time investors with its lower entry costs.
NCR: Sohna Road & Noida Sector-150
Sohna Road has climbed 74% in prices and 50% in rents, benefiting from corporate leasing demand and expressway connectivity.
Noida’s Sector-150 tops the national charts with an extraordinary 139% jump in prices and 71% rental growth, fuelled by new township projects, greenfield layouts, and premium sports-themed developments.
Mumbai Metropolitan Region: Chembur & Mulund
Chembur’s transformation via the Eastern Freeway and Metro expansion has driven 53% price growth and 46% rent hikes.
Mulund, a strategic link between Mumbai and Thane, saw 50% price growth, with more modest rent increases (32%).
Kolkata: EM Bypass & Rajarhat
EM Bypass grew 25% in prices and 53% in rents, while planned township Rajarhat recorded 37% and 40% respectively—steady gains supported by infrastructure and corporate presence.
