Hyderabad ranked as India’s fastest-growing city

22 Nov 2024 CW Team

Hyderabad has emerged as the fastest-growing city in India, according to the India Prime City Index published by Knight Frank India. The city’s robust infrastructure development, increasing demand for real estate, and growth in the number of ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) and high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) have all contributed to its strong performance. Hyderabad’s success can be attributed to its proactive policy initiatives, especially in technology and industrial sectors.

Hyderabad’s real estate sector has seen a significant boost, with rising demand for commercial, residential, and industrial properties. The city is also attracting substantial investments, particularly in information technology, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals. The strong performance of these sectors has not only contributed to the city’s economic growth but also created a favorable environment for real estate development.

As India’s leading technology hub, Hyderabad’s infrastructure development has been particularly crucial in accommodating the growth of its IT sector. The city’s investments in world-class business parks, transportation infrastructure, and housing projects are helping to keep pace with the influx of new businesses and residents.

Following Hyderabad in terms of growth is Bengaluru, with Delhi-NCR leading the pack in terms of governance and physical infrastructure. Hyderabad’s ability to maintain its growth trajectory amid challenges makes it a key player in India’s urbanization story.
