1. Expanding IT and Industrial Ecosystem

IT Sector Growth

Coimbatore’s IT corridor centered around Saravanampatti and KGiSL Tech Park is expanding rapidly. Multiple companies across software development, BPO, fintech and analytics have set up operations or expanded capacity between 2024 and 2026.
This has increased demand for rental homes, mid-segment apartments and gated communities.

Industrial Backbone

The city’s strong presence in textiles, manufacturing, pump industries, castings, auto components and engineering has created consistent employment and housing demand. New industrial clusters around Sulur, Karanampettai, and Pollachi Road are also influencing real-estate demand in nearby localities.

Outcome

A rising workforce fuels steady residential absorption, especially in areas like Saravanampatti, Kalapatti, Thudiyalur, Peelamedu and Singanallur.

2. Major Infrastructure Development (2024–2026)

Coimbatore’s infrastructure is undergoing significant improvements, directly impacting property value and liveability.

Key Developments

  3. Widening projects along Avinashi Road, Mettupalayam Road and L&T Bypass

  4. Improved connectivity to Kerala and Tamil Nadu’s western districts

  5. Strengthening of water supply, sewage, and urban civic systems

Outcome

Improved connectivity reduces commute time and increases the attractiveness of suburban and emerging neighbourhoods.

  3. Hyderabad: ₹6,500–₹13,000/sq.ft
