A practical location

Its strategic position makes Bachupally what could be termed a practical location.

Ganesh Aravamudhan, realtor at Sree Balaji, says: “Those who had invested in Shamshabad, banking on exemplary returns, lost hope at the end of the day. Properties (plots) were dirt cheap back then and speculations about the cost of land post the airport led to mass-buying. Nonetheless, it was a loss for most investors. Now, buyers exercise caution, and, therefore, end-users and tenants prefer the city side. There is no speculation in this case and you can see what you get at the end of the day.”

Sreedhar Reddy, former president, Andhra Pradesh Realtors Association (APRA), and Proprietor, LANAR Realtors Pvt Ltd, says, “People working in areas like HITEC City or Gachibowli wouldn't want to get back home to areas that don't match the pace of action in and around their workspaces which is why they go in for Bachupally.”
