Investors who actively buy and sell properties in Mumbai are now showing growing interest in projects in Hyderabad.
The main reason is the strong momentum in Hyderabad’s real estate market. Despite rising prices, properties in newly developed luxury gated communities are selling well.
Recent registration data shows that a major share of Hyderabad’s transaction value now comes from homes priced above â¹1.5 crore, clearly indicating a shift toward the premium segment.
While Mumbai-based real estate companies are directly entering the Hyderabad market, another trend is also emerging.
Investors from Mumbai are funding projects by booking multiple flats at the construction stage, with the intention of selling them at premium prices after project completion.
This trend is especially visible in the western corridor areas such as Kokapet, Narsingi, the Financial District and Neopolis, where both land prices and demand have risen sharply.
If a project is large-scale, ultra-luxury, and backed by a builder with a proven track record, developers no longer struggle to raise funds. Many investors are ready to come in early, often on the builder’s terms.
Industry consultants say Hyderabad still has an advantage over Mumbai due to the availability of large land parcels and faster approvals, which is attracting steady investment flows.
A Mumbai-based real estate investor said, “Mumbai real estate is saturated and moving slowly with limited margins. Hyderabad today feels like what Mumbai was 15 years ago. Investing now can grow massively.”
He also pointed out a limitation. “Unlike Mumbai, Hyderabad has the potential to expand in all directions. But right now, most investments are focused on West Hyderabad, while the north and south are relatively inactive. That said, future infrastructure and connectivity plans are expected to push growth in those regions as well.”
He added, “Since prices are still low, I invested heavily in land in North Hyderabad. Growth there is only a matter of time. For quicker returns in three to four years, I have also invested in high-end gated community projects that have just been launched.”
Overall, Hyderabad’s real estate market is moving strongly with no signs of slowing down. However, the demand is clearly concentrated in the luxury segment.
High-end projects are attracting buyers and investors, while low-end and affordable apartments are seeing much less interest; mirroring a trend now visible across major Indian cities.
