Hyderabad vs. Bengaluru: A New Social Media Debate Erupts
Real Estate Mumbai:Hyderabad’s real estate market is now expanding at the highest rate in India, leading the pack over Bengaluru, Mumbai-MMR, Delhi-NCR, Ahmedabad, and Chennai. A recent post on social media platform X, by a product manager named Venkatesh Gupta, sparked a heated debate with the caption, ‘Hyderabad is the new Bangalore.’ The post featured striking images of Hyderabad’s high-rises and tech parks, drawing a lot of attention from netizens.

The debate on X took off as users shared their opinions, both praising and criticizing the assertion. But what does Hyderabad have to offer to make such a bold claim?

According to Knight Frank India’s India Prime City Index, Hyderabad’s residential launches have experienced the greatest compound annual growth rate of 10% in the last ten years. This growth is attributed to the strong demand from people looking for residential places as well as investors. In 2023, Hyderabad’s home prices rose by 11%, further underlining the city’s appeal.

Despite this, Bengaluru remains a strong contender, consistently ranking as the most popular destination for commercial occupiers. It ranks second in overall real estate growth, followed by Chennai, Mumbai-MMR, Delhi-NCR, and Ahmedabad. Bengaluru is known for its robust tech industry and is often referred to as the ‘Silicon Valley of India.’
