The premium residential market in key cities has witnessed remarkable momentum, leading to a significant appreciation in property values and rentals during the first half of the year.
The monthly rentals for luxury housing rose between 5-28 percent year-on-year (YoY) in Delhi, Noida and Gurugram during the first half of 2023, according to a report by Savills, a real estate consulting firm. It attributed the rise in rentals to a demand-supply gap and appreciation in capital values.
The report said that rental values have stabilised in Delhi, which saw a 5 percent YoY increase in the January-June period compared to the 50 percent spike reported in H1 2022.
At 10 percent, Delhi’s Central 1 micro-market, which includes areas like Golf Links and Jor Bagh, witnessed the highest growth in rentals, followed by the South East micro-market, which grew 8 percent. South East Delhi includes areas like Friends Colony East, Friends Colony West, Maharani Bagh, Greater Kailash I, Greater Kailash II, etc.

Per the report, the average rentals quoted are for 3 BHK and 4 BHK apartments on Golf Course Road and 3 BHK apartments in other micro markets, including Noida.
According to the report, Golf Course Road commands an average rental of Rs 1.95 lakh per month, while the average monthly rent at Golf Course Extension Road and Southern Peripheral Road is Rs 1.01 lakh.
