Indian Cities Witness Surge in Rental Income, Magicbricks Report Reveals
Real Estate Pune:A recent report by Magicbricks, a leading real estate platform, has revealed a 14.6 per cent annual increase in rental income in major Indian cities. The quarterly growth has been more modest, at 2.6 per cent. According to Abhishek Bhadra, Head of Research at Magicbricks, this surge in rental income can be attributed to increased economic activity.

Bhadra predicts that rental demand and rents will continue to rise in the near term. The report also highlights that the supply of rental units is expected to improve as under-construction properties near completion. This presents a lucrative opportunity for landlords and investors. Some cities have seen significant quarterly rent hikes, including Navi Mumbai (6.2 per cent), Hyderabad (4.2 per cent), and Ahmedabad (4 per cent).

Rental demand has also seen a marked increase of 14.8 per cent quarter-on-quarter, despite a 2.2 per cent dip in supply due to high absorption rates. This has led to higher rents in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Thane. Other cities, such as Greater Noida,

Noida, and Bengaluru, have also witnessed noticeable rent increments. Residential real estate remains a profitable investment option, with Ahmedabad, Pune, and Kolkata yielding the highest rental returns at 3.8 per cent. Magicbricks, which has an active base of over 15 lakh property listings, is a leading platform for property transactions.
