Invest in: Noida (Sectors 93 A & B, Sectors 119, 137, 151); Faridabad (Sectors 70-88)

 (in the same price range). Similarly, what works for Noida, despite cheaper options like Ghaziabad and Greater Noida, is its infrastructure, connectivity and proximity to Delhi. While Greater Noida also has good infrastructure, the distance from Delhi has resulted in very low occupancy and, therefore, the time frame for appreciation in property price or rental returns is higher.

Viman Nagar is the happening cosmopolitan location in Pune.
, Wakad, Kondhawa

What works for them: Pune had seen one of the steepest price rises in property during the boom, so the rates in some locations have corrected sharply. This, coupled with the focus on affordable housing, makes the Pune realty market attractive. Eastern locations in the city like Kharadi and Kondhawa are preferred housing destinations primarily due to their proximity to established commercial hubs and developed residential locations. Viman Nagar is also an affordable destination due to its closeness to the airport. Towards the west, Wakad and Hinjewadi are generating interest due to the development of IT/ITeS in these areas and their easy access to the Mumbai-Pune Expressway The Mumbai Pune Expressway (Marathi: मुंबई-पुणे द्रुतगती महामार्ग) is India's first six-lane concrete, high-speed tolled expressway. .

Chennai

Invest in: Velachery, Rajiv Gandhi Salai Rajiv Gandhi Salai, previously known as Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR) or IT Corridor is an important road in Tamil Nadu, connecting Chennai with Mahabalipuram starting from Madhya Kailash temple and going southward till Mahabalipuram terminating in East Coast Road. , Tambaram

What works for them: Residential property rates in Chennai have witnessed a more stable growth because the demand was primarily from end-users. Locations like Rajiv Gandhi Salai and Velachery are being preferred by the middle-income segment because of better infrastructure and good connectivity (monorail monorail, railway system that uses cars that run on a single rail. Typically the rail is run overhead and the cars are either suspended from it or run above it. ) to the city. This means future rental returns from these locations will be good. The development of Rajiv Gandhi Salai as the IT corridor, Sriperumbudur as the electronic corridor, and the proposed Outer Ring Road, which will connect the western and southern locations, bodes well for an appreciation in property prices.

Property rates

Rs 2,200-3,400 per sq ft

Monthly rental income

Rs 4,000-5,000 (1,000 sq ft/2-BHK)

Other options

 locations with good connectivity, strong development potential and relatively low cost. Given the increase in prices in the past, affordability is a very important factor.

Hyderabad

Invest in: Uppal, Nacharam, Begumpet

What works for them: Uppal and Nacharam score in terms of investment potential because of the low rates and appreciation potential. This is because of the large number of IT companies and upcoming SEZs in the vicinity. Begumpet is one of the few central locations where prices are still affordable. With the city limits expanding rapidly (after the creation of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation is the urban planning agency that oversees Hyderabad, the capital and largest city in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. Its precursor, the Hyderabad Corporation, was established in 1950 via the Hyderabad Corporation Act. ) and infrastructure developments like Outer Ring Road and the proposed mass rapid transit Noun 1. mass rapid transit - an urban public transit system using underground or elevated trains

Other options

 in residential locations in and around the main city is pushing more and more buyers towards the suburbs. Proximity to the airport and good road connectivity make Rajarhat and Jessore Road preferred locations. With the construction of the road connecting Jessore Road to the Airport Road, connectivity will improve further. Similarly, locations along the EM Bypass have a good potential for rental returns because of proximity to work and educational institutes. However, appreciation in property prices will be gradual because of the availability of land in these locations and the steady launch of new projects. The total planned area to be developed within Rajarhat is about 35.52 sq km.

Property rates

Rs 1,800 & ndash;2,400 per sq ft

Monthly rental income

Rs 4,000-5,000 (1000 sq ft/2-BHK)

Other options

Garia, Behala, Salt Lake, Santoshpur, Tollygunge (Rs 2,000-2,500 per sq ft)

Ahmedabad

Invest in: Bopal

What works for them: After the correction in property prices, developers in the city have fallen back on the tried-and-tested strategy of 'soft launches'. This has resulted in good deals for long-term investors Long-term investor

. A significant number of these launches were in the eastern part of the city, especially at Bopal. The cost advantage of this suburb is proving to be its biggest strength. The growth of social infrastructure facilities such as banks, schools, markets and hospitals have worked as a catalyst to the growth of this neighbourhood.

Property rates

Rs 1,800 Au2,200 per sq ft

Monthly rental income

Rs 2,500 Au3,500 (1000 sq ft/2-BHK)

Other options

Ambali, Shilaj, Paldi Memnagar, Vastrapur and Vasna (Rs 1,700-2,300 per sq ft)

Kochi

Invest in: Kakkanad, Edapally

What works for them: Infrastructure development, including the building of the new ring road, coastal highway The term Coastal Highway can refer to:
  • The North West Coastal Highway of Australia.
  • The Makran Coastal Highway in Pakistan.
  • The Coastal Highway located in Ocean City, MD.
 and the new airport-seaport road, is the main factor in favour of long-term investment in a locality like Kakkanad. The location is also turning out to be the information technology hub in the region and rental returns are likely to be good once the IT sector revives. Similarly, Edappally, because of its central location, where three national highways meet, and Vyttila, the state's largest traffic intersection, are increasingly popular with builders. The location also gains from its proximity to the city centre.

Property rates

Rs 1,800-2,300 per sq ft

Monthly rental income

Rs 3,000-4,000 (1,000 sq ft/2-BHK)

Other options

Thripunithura, Marine Drive (Rs 2,200-4,500 per sq ft)

Nagpur

Invest in: Wardha Road

What works for them: Currently, the most talked-about project in Nagpur is the cargo hub that's coming up. Wardha Road, which connects the city to the project site, saw a tremendous increase in property prices between 2005 and 2007. However, after the slowdown in the real estate market, it is offering some of the best priced new launches which can be ideal for a long-term investor. Apart from the good connectivity to the main city, Wardha Road also connects to another upcoming industrial area. While the location and planned projects guarantee price appreciation, an upcoming IT hub in the region offers good long-term rental prospects.

Property rates

Rs 1,400-2,000 per sq ft

Monthly rental income

Rs 3,000-4,000 (1,000 sq ft/2-BHK)

Other options

Amravati Road, Kamptee Road, Katol Road (Rs 1,700-2,500 per sq ft)
