Lack of public transport & walkability is pushing buyers to outer fringes of the city. Your city isn't slow, personal vehicles are making them to be. Your city isn't loud, the cars and traffic is. There's no consideration for parks and third-spaces too. Wake up Hyderabad.
Residential high-rises: a dying (f)art!
Hyderabad’s high-rise boom attracted investors, end users and speculative money. But the honeymoon may be ending.
The reality of living in these towers is beginning to catch up with the hype.
1) Water resources: Buyers are now waiting for concrete water solutions to be built, instead of trusting proposed infrastructure. They are not convinced by the water tankers.
2) Traffic Nightmare: Buyers are noticing Hyderabad's already existing gridlock, even before the wave of supply incoming is completed.
3) Air quality: Quality of life and longevity are becoming more crucial for buyers, especially in a perpetually under construction city like Hyderabad.
4) Low Differentiation: Buyers are looking past the sky-gardens and fancy amenities, they are looking for real differentiation in terms of open spaces, loading factors and more.
5) Job Layoffs: ₹1-2 CR homes are observing a significant slowdown, as they are directly linked to mid-level white collar IT jobs in Hyderabad.
6) Increasing demand for space: Space is becoming the new luxury, low-density communities and villas near the ORR are increasingly becoming preferred alternatives. Buyers are ready to drive 15 min extra for a better quality of life.
Hyderabad's future may not be about building higher, but living better.

Ten years ago today, Narendra Modi sacrificed the economic momentum in India for the sake of winning the Uttar Pradesh elections.

Aura? Retard has his wife sitting without a seatbelt, kid is sitting in the front seat on his mother's lap thinking the mother's hug will save him? Any respectable country would seem them as unworthy parents and get child services involved. Peak stupidity.

ハイデラバードの美しい夜景。5年後はドバイになる？と本気で思ってる。空気も澄んでて綺麗、渋滞も少ない。気候も年中過ごしやすい。あとは無いのは日本食だけ。でも、そんなの関係ねー、でも、そんなの関係ねー。だって、ここにビリヤニがあるから。

Tamils hate their capital city of Chennai more than people from other states. But they will be happy to work from Bengaluru or Hyderabad. Harsh truth!!

Only people who think india is "second biggest ally of Isreal after the US" are either biased Pakistanis or people who make their opinion based on Hindutva twitter. Materially, india has provided Isreal way less than what many European and Arab nations have done.

Precisely why India’s next High Speed Railway corridor should be constructed in Kerala. It will also enhance Kerala tourism by 5 folds.
And if not centre, Kerala can do it at state level.

Chennai's unwelcoming image is largely a facade. Its vocal resistance to Hindi imposition is often mistaken for hostility towards outsiders. Yet, the city has largely avoided the kind of ethnic or communal violence unlike Mumbai, Bengaluru or Delhi. It's PR is severely damaged.

Why does PM need to come all the way to Bengaluru to inaugurate a mere 7 km metro stretch?
Crores will be spent on security n arrangements, commuters will suffer in traffic, and the city will be flooded with banners.
That money could fix potholes n improve govt schools instead.
It’s official! A historic milestone for Bengaluru! 🩷
Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will inaugurate Namma Metro’s Pink Line on November 13. He will travel from Tavarekere to IIMB-Bilekahalli Station and launch the services.
With this, Bengaluru Metro will cross the 100 km milestone, reaching 103.6 km and becoming India’s second-largest Metro network after Delhi!
In 2014, Bengaluru had just 7 km of operational Metro. Today, that network has grown nearly 15-fold, with over 96 km added since 2014.
Prime Minister Modi has consistently prioritised Bengaluru’s infrastructure and connectivity, making this remarkable transformation possible.
This is another major step towards easing traffic congestion, improving quality of life and building a Bengaluru where public transport comes first.
A big day for Bengaluru. Many more milestones ahead!

One more unfortunate tax that India imposes - having to prove your patriotism even when you have done more to advance the national interest than 99.9% of the country.
FWIW I hadn't seen any of those terrible tweets, and all right-thinking people would have ignored them.
I'm just glad to see Indian companies go global. They should be supported, and their CEOs should not have to spend their time dealing with this kind of muck. The Indian govt. does real security vetting in these sectors, and has access to data about company structures and fund movement that the public does not. Unless someone has proof to the contrary they should just keep quiet.

Sometimes feel Tamils hate Chennai more than people from other states. Ready to move to Bengaluru or Hyderabad but cry when the state invests in what is a $150 Billion Economy Zone...😒😒

Kerala has a higher GDP per capita than Gujarat without any metropolises or industries. It's pure consumption.
If you include remittances into the calculation (23%), then Kerala is the large Indian state with the highest PCI.

Unheard villages which do not have disposable income to buy these tickets, will get a shiny HSR before the highly urban, tax generating South which can afford these tickets do. Warra Master stroke.

Because
Why is @narendramodi needed for inauguration of every single metro line in this country? Ridiculous.
