According to a recent CBRE report, investment in tier-2 and tier-3 cities across India has more than doubled in 2023, reflecting growing developer interest and capital influx into these regions.
The real estate landscape in Delhi NCR is undergoing a significant transformation as skyrocketing property prices in Gurugram and Noida push homebuyers and developers toward smaller, more affordable cities in the region. Cities like Bahadurgarh, Sonipat, Alwar, Meerut, and Manesar are emerging as prime destinations, driven by rapid urbanisation, improved infrastructure, economic opportunities, and enhanced quality of life. Recent developments in metro connectivity have particularly bolstered these cities’ appeal. The expansion of the Delhi Metro network into these areas has not only improved accessibility but also stimulated investment in both commercial and residential projects. Experts predict a substantial rise in property values along these metro corridors.
According to a recent CBRE report, investment in tier-2 and tier-3 cities across India has more than doubled in 2023, reflecting growing developer interest and capital influx into these regions. In 2022, capital flow into these cities surged from $600 million to a record $1.3 billion.
Bahadurgarh, strategically located near major highways including NH-10 and the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal Expressway, is poised to become a frontrunner in real estate investment. Enhanced by the newly approved Delhi Metro corridor, connecting Indralok to Indraprastha, Bahadurgarh offers improved connectivity to Delhi and other parts of NCR. The city also benefits from proximity to the Delhi-Bahadurgarh-Rohtak Highway and the Urban Extension Road-2 (UER), facilitating seamless travel to key destinations.
The region’s attractiveness is further underscored by its robust industrial presence, hosting Asia’s largest footwear and industrial park along with major companies like Relaxo, BNG Fashion, and Yokohama. Leading developers such as Royal Green Realty, Tata, Omaxe, and Essel Realty are actively developing luxury townships and residential complexes in Bahadurgarh, catering to a diverse range of housing needs from villas to plots and SCO spaces.
Royal Green Realty recently announced a new phase of development, ‘The Select within Royal Green County’, spanning 40 acres with a total investment of 150 crores. This premium residential township promises state-of-the-art amenities including smart security, landscaped gardens, a clubhouse, swimming pool, and children’s play area, setting a new standard for luxury living in Bahadurgarh.
Yashank Wasan, Managing Director of Royal Green Realty, highlighted Bahadurgarh’s strategic advantages, emphasising its excellent rail and road connectivity, proximity to major highways, and burgeoning residential developments. The introduction of SCO spaces, combining retail and office spaces, is also attracting SMEs and enhancing the city’s commercial landscape.
As these tier-2 cities continue to grow in prominence, driven by infrastructure enhancements and increasing demand, they are set to redefine the real estate dynamics of Delhi NCR, offering compelling investment opportunities and a high quality of life away from the urban sprawl of larger cities.
