Telangana’s Revised Land Values Push Up Property Registration Costs Across Hyderabad’s Key Growth Corridors

Property buyers in Hyderabad are set to face higher transaction costs following the implementation of revised land and property values by the Telangana government. The new rates, which came into force on June 5, have significantly increased registration charges across several of the city’s fastest-growing real estate markets, particularly in the western corridor where demand has remained strong over the past few years.

Areas such as Raidurgam, Khajaguda, Kokapet, Narsingi, Puppalaguda, Manchirevula and the Financial District have witnessed substantial revisions in government-notified land values. In some locations, official market values have nearly doubled, reflecting the rapid appreciation seen in these micro-markets due to infrastructure development, commercial expansion and rising residential demand.

Raidurgam recorded one of the sharpest increases, with residential land values rising from ₹26,700 to ₹48,300 per square yard, while commercial values climbed from ₹44,900 to ₹78,600 per square yard. Similar increases were reported in Khajaguda and other premium locations along Hyderabad’s western growth corridor.

The revised values are expected to directly impact stamp duty and registration expenses, which currently account for 7.5 percent of the total property value declared in sale transactions. Real estate industry stakeholders have welcomed the periodic revision process but have also suggested that the government consider reducing stamp duty rates to offset the higher financial burden on homebuyers.

The valuation exercise was undertaken after a detailed review of market transactions, infrastructure investments, land demand and development trends across Telangana. Officials stated that the objective is to bring government-notified values closer to prevailing market prices and improve transparency in property transactions.

Despite the increase in registration costs, industry experts believe demand in Hyderabad’s premium real estate markets will remain resilient. Locations surrounding Kokapet, Narsingi and the Financial District continue to attract strong interest from developers, institutional investors and homebuyers due to their proximity to major employment hubs and ongoing infrastructure projects.

The latest revision is also expected to enhance government revenue collections while aligning official property valuations with market realities in one of India’s most active real estate destinations.
