Since 2021, Noida’s Sector 150 — known for its premium townships — has emerged as India’s fastest-growing housing market. A study by property consultant ANAROCK shows that average home prices in the area have surged 139% to ₹13,600 per sq ft, while monthly rents have jumped 71% to ₹27,300 — the highest growth among 14 micro-markets across seven major cities.
This boom is driven by large integrated projects and strong investor interest, showing how certain parts of the NCR are setting the pace for India’s real estate growth.
Bengaluru is another big winner. Sarjapur Road saw home prices rise 79% and rents 81%, while Thanisandra Main Road posted even bigger gains with prices up 81% and rents up 65%. These areas have benefited from expanding IT corridors, job creation, and new metro lines.
Across all 14 top-performing micro-markets, property values rose between 24% and 139% and rents between 32% and 81% from 2021 to mid-2025 — far ahead of wage growth and inflation.
Hyderabad’s Gachibowli and Pune’s Wagholi also delivered high returns, with rents rising 66% and 69% respectively. Experts attribute this surge to post-pandemic demand, infrastructure upgrades, and steady investor inflows, turning homes in these areas into strong income-generating assets.
Locations with new metro, expressway, or airport projects consistently outperformed others, underlining the importance of connectivity and jobs.
ANAROCK Chairman Anuj Puri noted that the rally started in 2021 due to pent-up demand, low interest rates, and a shift towards homeownership after COVID-19. While price growth has eased since 2023 with more supply and buyer caution, infrastructure-led markets continue to perform strongly.
In the NCR, growth is being driven both by established corporate hubs and newer investor-favourite zones. Sohna Road in Gurugram, for example, has seen prices rise 74% and rents 50%, supported by corporate leasing activity and better connectivity via the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway.
Outlook for 2026:
India’s real estate growth will continue to follow infrastructure expansion, while job growth will support strong rental demand. ANAROCK expects housing prices to grow 6–7% and rents to rise 7–10% annually, both ahead of inflation.
