Bangalore has lately seen a shortage of housing projects, which has led to the rise of alternative rental spaces and hefty rents. House owners are now converting their garages, storage sheds, and utility rooms into compact 1 BHK units that can be rented out for over ₹20,000 per month.
In the real estate market in the IT capitals of the city, annual hikes are up to 35% since 2023. The house owners drive this upswing and raise the demand as IT workers return to offices.
Affordable rental options are still open in the city outskirts, such as Bagalur, BTM Layout, and KR Puram, with 1 and 2 BHK flats rent for ₹12,000 to ₹30,000 per month. The IT boom and influx of IT pros have driven up demand for housing.
Large IT firms like Infosys, Wipro, TCS, and Accenture are asking employees to return to offices, increasing demand for rentals near IT hubs. Many owners who reduced rents during the pandemic are now charging higher rates. Many living spaces here are fully furnished and target IT pros, justifying higher rents.
Co-living startups like Zolo, Stanza Living, and Co Live are offering private studio rooms for ₹15,000 to ₹30,000. There are owners who still demand ₹1-2 lakh as initial deposits. New rental platforms like NoBroker and NestAway are offering zero-deposit rentals to attract tenants. New rental supply in central and well-connected areas is limited, hence has pushed rents higher.
Compared to other Indian metros, Silicon City offers fairly good rental returns. Investing in 1BHKs and studio flats can yield steady rental income due to high demand.
Sarjapur Road, HSR Layout, Whitefield, and North Bangalore (Hebbal, Yelahanka) are seeing rapid real estate growth. Metro expansions and the rise of IT parks are keeping the rates higher.
Real estate Projects in Koramangala, Indiranagar, and CBD areas already have high prices. Emerging locations like Devanahalli (near the airport), Bagalur, and E-City Phase 2 are showing a strong future and will have potential appreciation.
Bangalore has friendly rental laws, and the Model Tenancy Act, once proposed, may improve clarity in rent agreements. It is good for investors who are looking for steady rental income.
