Real Estate Crisis in Hyderabad: HMDA Delays Kokapet Land Auction

Hyderabad, Nov 24 (Maxim News): Kokapet lands, once a major revenue generator, still have 24 acres under development. The government is contemplating bringing these developed plots to market. However, due to prevailing uncertainties, officials are reluctant to proceed with the auction process.

The government had high expectations from the Neopolis venture, but current conditions suggest that revenue projections may fall short. Similar preparations for land auctions in other areas of the city are also underway. However, recent demolitions near the Musi River and other regions have shaken buyer confidence, delaying recovery in the real estate sector.

Land auctions are not new in Telangana. Previous governments successfully generated funds through auctions after ensuring favorable conditions for the real estate sector. This included developing essential infrastructure and creating a conducive environment for industries around auctioned lands.

In contrast, the past year has seen a sharp decline in property transactions. Even previously interested buyers in Hyderabad’s outskirts are now hesitant, citing issues arising during Congress rule. Experts believe that under such circumstances, auctioning premium lands is unfeasible.

To stabilize the market, experts suggest either postponing auctions until conditions improve or taking proactive steps to create a supportive environment for the real estate sector. Without such measures, recovering a derailed market will be a daunting challenge.

Infrastructure Development: Priority must be given to addressing infrastructural gaps, particularly in Kokapet and surrounding areas, to attract buyers.

Policy Reforms: Streamlining permissions and providing incentives for developers could help revive interest in property investments.

Buyer Confidence: The government should focus on confidence-building measures, such as transparency in transactions and reducing uncertainties caused by ongoing demolitions. Conducting a thorough market assessment before launching auctions could prevent underwhelming results.

The HMDA’s decision on Kokapet lands will serve as a benchmark for its strategy to manage Telangana’s real estate challenges during turbulent times. (Maxim News)
