Real estate prices in Hyderabad, other cities likely to go up
Over the last year, developers’ average cost of construction has risen 10-12 percent, owing to higher input costs due to supply-side constraints.
The cost of key materials like cement and steel has risen over 20 percent yearly as of March 2022. These constitute a predominant share in the total cost of construction. So far, developers have been cautious about increasing prices as the market was recovering from the aftermath of Covid-19. However, developers have now started feeling the pinch of rising costs and started reviewing their pricing strategy, Colliers said in a report.
“The rising cost will impact developers in the affordable and mid-market segments relatively more as they are already operating on lower margins. With wholesale price inflation (WPI) and material cost, both seeing a double-digit rise, the cost of construction can rise by a further 8-9 percent by December 2022,” said Ramesh Nair, CEO, India & Managing Director, Market Development, Asia, Colliers.
