Ahmedabad: Gross Rental Yield of 4.03%<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ahmedabad has more stable rental markets in India right now. Demand grew by a small percentage of 0.1% compared to the previous quarter, but the supply jumped at 17% compared to previous year, meaning the supply for rental homes are increasing. Even with this increase in the supply, the rents still grew 3.2% over the year, which reflects that the landlords are holding their rental pricing reasonably well. Ahmedabad benefits from the growing commercial activity in the region, its proximity to GIFT City, and due to this consistent flow of working professionals and students looking for rental places. Areas like Satellite and Thaltej command higher 3 BHK rents, while Chandkheda remains among the more affordable pockets.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content-3\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"trade-2301683610\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/tradebrains.in\/money\/recommends\/scapia\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"scapia (1)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scapia-1.jpg\" alt=\"scapia (1)\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scapia-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scapia-1-980x980.jpg 980w, https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/scapia-1-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1000px, 100vw\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"footable_parent_9660\"\n         class=\" footable_parent ninja_table_wrapper loading_ninja_table wp_table_data_press_parent semantic_ui \">\n                <table data-ninja_table_instance=\"ninja_table_instance_0\" data-footable_id=\"9660\" data-filter-delay=\"1000\" aria-label=\"Mutual Fund - Sheet1 (100).csv\"            id=\"footable_9660\"\n           data-unique_identifier=\"ninja_table_unique_id_1111114981_9660\"\n           class=\" foo-table ninja_footable foo_table_9660 ninja_table_unique_id_1111114981_9660 ui table  ninja_search_right nt_type_ajax_table selectable striped compact vertical_centered  footable-paging-right ninja_table_search_disabled\">\n                <colgroup>\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_0 \">\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_1 \">\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_2 \">\n                    <\/colgroup>\n            <\/table>\n    \n    \n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-bengaluru-gross-rental-yield-of-4-19-nbsp\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>2. Bengaluru: Gross Rental Yield of 4.19%&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bengaluru is right now the most active city in terms of real estate and rental markets in India. Over the quarter, it recorded the highest demand growth at 5.2%, and the rents increased by 8.6% in just three months which represents the strongest quarterly rental increase among all tracked cities. Over the whole year, rents increased by 12.5%. The reason behind this is that Bengaluru is India&#8217;s top technological hub, and attracts IT professionals, startup employees, and the students are also constantly moving into the city, which is keeping the rental demand high. Areas close to the major tech parks including Bellandur, Whitefield, and Marathahalli and these areas naturally demand the highest rents. Bellandur leads with a 2 BHK rent of \u20b952,400, while the Electronic City remains the most affordable option for tenants.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"footable_parent_9661\"\n         class=\" footable_parent ninja_table_wrapper loading_ninja_table wp_table_data_press_parent semantic_ui \">\n                <table data-ninja_table_instance=\"ninja_table_instance_1\" data-footable_id=\"9661\" data-filter-delay=\"1000\" aria-label=\"Mutual Fund - Sheet1 - 2026-06-10T173910.030.csv\"            id=\"footable_9661\"\n           data-unique_identifier=\"ninja_table_unique_id_1850778525_9661\"\n           class=\" foo-table ninja_footable foo_table_9661 ninja_table_unique_id_1850778525_9661 ui table  ninja_search_right nt_type_ajax_table selectable striped compact vertical_centered  footable-paging-right ninja_table_search_disabled\">\n                <colgroup>\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_0 \">\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_1 \">\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_2 \">\n                    <\/colgroup>\n            <\/table>\n    \n    \n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-chennai-gross-rental-yield-of-4-87-nbsp\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>3. Chennai: Gross Rental Yield of 4.87%&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Chennai is the best-performing city for the rental investors in the period Q1 2026, and offers the highest gross rental yield of 4.87% among all the seven mentioned cities. Even though the tenant demand decreased by 3.9% over the quarter, the rental price still increased by 7.2% quarter-on-quarter and 10.5% annually. This represents that the city\u2019s rental prices are being maintained by the factor of limited availability of the quality rental homes rather than the increase in tenants. The city&#8217;s strong base for this rise in rental yield is the presence of IT companies, automobile manufacturers, and industrial employers. These ensure a consistent flow of working professionals who need rental housing. Premium localities like Anna Nagar and T Nagar demand higher rents, while Sholinganallur and OMR offer more accessible prices along the IT corridor.<\/p><div class=\"trade-in-content\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"trade-1008044518\"><script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\" id=\"AdsCoreLoader101144\" src=\"https:\/\/sads.adsboosters.xyz\/fbda060f29d5b8e8c653abce4ac69b7b.js\"><\/script>\r\n\u00a0<div class=\"ads-core-ads\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"footable_parent_9662\"\n         class=\" footable_parent ninja_table_wrapper loading_ninja_table wp_table_data_press_parent semantic_ui \">\n                <table data-ninja_table_instance=\"ninja_table_instance_2\" data-footable_id=\"9662\" data-filter-delay=\"1000\" aria-label=\"Mutual Fund - Sheet1 - 2026-06-10T174022.587.csv\"            id=\"footable_9662\"\n           data-unique_identifier=\"ninja_table_unique_id_3683970864_9662\"\n           class=\" foo-table ninja_footable foo_table_9662 ninja_table_unique_id_3683970864_9662 ui table  ninja_search_right nt_type_ajax_table selectable striped compact vertical_centered  footable-paging-right ninja_table_search_disabled\">\n                <colgroup>\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_0 \">\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_1 \">\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_2 \">\n                    <\/colgroup>\n            <\/table>\n    \n    \n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Also read:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/tradebrains.in\/money\/top-5-it-corridors-set-for-major-property-price-appreciation-from-bengalurus-pink-line-metro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Top 5 IT Corridors Set for Major Property Price Appreciation from Bengaluru&#8217;s Pink Line Metro<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-delhi-gross-rental-yield-of-2-71-nbsp\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>4. Delhi: Gross Rental Yield of 2.71%&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Delhi&#8217;s rental market is steady but not appraise-worthy from a yield standpoint. The demand was stagnant at 0.1% quarterly growth, and the rents moved up by 1.9% over the quarter and 6.4% over the year, which is a considerable decent growth. There is a wide gap in rents observed between localities. A neighbourhood like Moti Nagar charges \u20b978,700 per month for a 2 BHK which is one of the highest 2 BHK rents among all localities across all the seven cities while, on the other hand, Paschim Vihar and Mayur Vihar Phase 1 remain far more budget-friendly at around \u20b927,000 to \u20b928,000. This variation in the rental prices reflects Delhi&#8217;s diverse housing stock and makes selection of locality important for both tenants and investors.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"trade-863905521\"><div translate=\"no\" class='mailmunch-forms-widget-1169732'><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"footable_parent_9663\"\n         class=\" footable_parent ninja_table_wrapper loading_ninja_table wp_table_data_press_parent semantic_ui \">\n                <table data-ninja_table_instance=\"ninja_table_instance_3\" data-footable_id=\"9663\" data-filter-delay=\"1000\" aria-label=\"Mutual Fund - Sheet1 - 2026-06-10T174139.288.csv\"            id=\"footable_9663\"\n           data-unique_identifier=\"ninja_table_unique_id_2731895283_9663\"\n           class=\" foo-table ninja_footable foo_table_9663 ninja_table_unique_id_2731895283_9663 ui table  ninja_search_right nt_type_ajax_table selectable striped compact vertical_centered  footable-paging-right ninja_table_search_disabled\">\n                <colgroup>\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_0 \">\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_1 \">\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_2 \">\n                    <\/colgroup>\n            <\/table>\n    \n    \n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-greater-noida-gross-rental-yield-of-2-27-nbsp\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>5.

While the demand managed had a 0.2% growth quarterly, the rents dropped sharply by 9.7% in the same period which is the steepest decrease in rental across all cities covered in the report. This happened because of an increase in the supply of new housing which gave tenants more choices and reduced pressure on the landlords to maintain high rents. However, the upcoming developments like the Jewar International Airport, the expansion of metro connectivity, and the affordable property prices compared to Delhi and Noida will further help to increase the rental demand in the city. Yamuna Expressway and Tech Zone are among the most affordable rental options in the city, while Chi 5 and Zeta demand slightly higher rents.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"footable_parent_9664\"\n         class=\" footable_parent ninja_table_wrapper loading_ninja_table wp_table_data_press_parent semantic_ui \">\n                <table data-ninja_table_instance=\"ninja_table_instance_4\" data-footable_id=\"9664\" data-filter-delay=\"1000\" aria-label=\"Mutual Fund - Sheet1 - 2026-06-10T174258.890.csv\"            id=\"footable_9664\"\n           data-unique_identifier=\"ninja_table_unique_id_3173341240_9664\"\n           class=\" foo-table ninja_footable foo_table_9664 ninja_table_unique_id_3173341240_9664 ui table  ninja_search_right nt_type_ajax_table selectable striped compact vertical_centered  footable-paging-right ninja_table_search_disabled\">\n                <colgroup>\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_0 \">\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_1 \">\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_2 \">\n                    <\/colgroup>\n            <\/table>\n    \n    \n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-gurugram-gross-rental-yield-of-2-45-nbsp\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>6.

The Southern Peripheral Road experienced an increase in supply of 27% quarterly, and Dwarka Expressway grew by 21% quarterly. These are the key factors attracting tenants toward newer and larger homes at competitive prices. The established corridors like DLF Phase 2 and Phase 5 continue to demand premium rents, with 2 BHKs crossing \u20b953,000 to \u20b956,000 per month which reflects the sustained demand in this region.<\/p><div class=\"trade-content-2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\" id=\"trade-294230536\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/tradebrains.in\/get\/voltmoney\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" aria-label=\"LAMF3 300_250 (1)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/tradebrains-wp.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\/money\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/LAMF3-300_250-1.png\" alt=\"\"  width=\"300\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"footable_parent_9665\"\n         class=\" footable_parent ninja_table_wrapper loading_ninja_table wp_table_data_press_parent semantic_ui \">\n                <table data-ninja_table_instance=\"ninja_table_instance_5\" data-footable_id=\"9665\" data-filter-delay=\"1000\" aria-label=\"Mutual Fund - Sheet1 - 2026-06-10T174407.121.csv\"            id=\"footable_9665\"\n           data-unique_identifier=\"ninja_table_unique_id_652411190_9665\"\n           class=\" foo-table ninja_footable foo_table_9665 ninja_table_unique_id_652411190_9665 ui table  ninja_search_right nt_type_ajax_table selectable striped compact vertical_centered  footable-paging-right ninja_table_search_disabled\">\n                <colgroup>\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_0 \">\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_1 \">\n                            <col class=\"ninja_column_2 \">\n                    <\/colgroup>\n            <\/table>\n    \n    \n    \n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-7-hyderabad-gross-rental-yield-of-4-06-nbsp\" style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>7.
