In the past, the second quarter of the year typically sees rents increase more than in other quarters due to the commencement of the new academic year and the employment of new staff. However, this year, the declining rental value growth coincides with substantial new housing supply entering these markets.
Cities like Bengaluru, Noida, Mumbai, and Hyderabad are witnessing a moderate rise in rents. For instance, average rents for a standard 1,000 sq.ft. 2 BHK in Bengaluru's Whitefield rose by 4% in Q2 2024 to date. In contrast, Mumbai's Chembur and Mulund saw a 2% rise against 4% in Q1.
Anarock predicts that the top 7 cities are set to deliver around 5.31 lakh new units in 2024, a 22% annual supply increase from 2023. However, India Ratings finds that the Tier-1 residential real estate inventory stock of the top eight cities is comfortable compared to historical levels. The high base of absorption should sustain and help ward-off any oversupply risk.
