In its report released on Thursday, real estate consultant Anarock said that Thanisandra Main Road and Marathahalli-ORR in Bengaluru recorded highest residential rental growth of 24 per cent each year-on-year in January-March period for a standard 2BHK home of 1,000 square feet area.

The consultant said that areas in east and north Bengaluru have seen a spurt in rental demand.
Bengaluru currently has the highest rental yield of 4.1 per cent among all major cities, followed by Mumbai with 3.9 per cent.
Prashant Thakur, Sr Director & Head – Research, Anarock Group, said, “When it comes to rental demand and zooming rents, Bengaluru currently stands out among the top 7 cities, with east and north Bengaluru the biggest blips on the rental radar map owing to the IT/ITeS belt there.”
Abhishek Tripathi, co-founder, Settl, said: “In a place like Bangalore during the pandemic, huge capital was deployed into hiring talent, especially in the IT sector and startups. During the same time, due to labour shortage, the increase in building supply was restricted and when the lockdown restrictions were removed and offices started to open up, people started moving to tier-I cities and settling down.”
“This disparity has created a housing crisis, especially in tier 1 cities in Bangalore. Hence, the increase in rent is a result of these multifarious factors,” Tripathi said.
As per the report, average monthly rentals for a standard 2BHK home of 1,000 sq ft at Thanisandra Main Road increased from Rs 21,000 per month in Q1 (January-March) 2022 to Rs 26,000/month in Q1, 2023.
At Marathahalli-ORR, average monthly rentals increased from Rs 22,500/month last year to Rs 28,000/month in Q1 2023.
