Hyderabad: Hyderabad property value tightened in 2025 as global wealth expanded, according to Knight Frank’s latest Wealth Report.
The report stated that USD 1 million purchased 498 square metres in Hyderabad in 2025, compared to 503 square metres in 2024. This decline occurred despite a 4.3% depreciation in the rupee and a 5.4% increase in residential prices.
Knight Frank released its 20th edition of “The Wealth Report,” which tracks global wealth patterns and real estate trends. The Prime International Residential Index showed Monaco remained the most expensive market, where USD 1 million bought only 16 square metres. Hong Kong and Geneva followed in the ranking.
Shishir Baijal, Chairman and Managing Director of Knight Frank India, said India’s wealth growth reflected a maturing entrepreneurial economy. Meanwhile, Liam Bailey, global head of research, pointed to a shift in global wealth distribution, with India emerging as a key market.
Hyderabad property value and wealth trends
The report showed that India’s ultra-high-net-worth individual population grew by 63% between 2021 and 2026, reaching 19,877. Hyderabad property value trends aligned with this growth, as the city’s share of this segment rose to 6.3% from 5% in 2015.
Knight Frank projected that India’s UHNWI population would increase by 27% to 25,217 by 2031. This growth indicates a stronger role for India in the global wealth landscape.
However, Mumbai continued to lead with a 35.4% share of the country’s ultra-rich population. The report noted that wealth distribution has become more widespread as more regions recorded economic growth.
