Similarly, Gachibowli saw rents increase from Rs 23,400 at the end of 2022 to Rs 30,500 by the end of 2023 and then to Rs 32,000 in Q1 2024.

The ANAROCK report highlighted that across the top seven cities in India, there was an average rental growth of 4-9 per cent in Q1 2024.

This surge is significant considering the typical annual increase ranges between 5-10 per cent, indicating a concerning trend of cost-of-living inflation for tenants. Santhosh Kumar, Vice Chairman of ANAROCK Group, commented on the trend, stating, “Going by the current momentum, there are no immediate prospects of the rental inflation trend slowing down.

In fact, it is expected to pick up in the next few quarters, as rental activity typically remains high in the first two quarters of as fiscal year.”
