Property deal raised hopes

It is also reported that the government was trying to sell the lands for the past two years. However, due to various hurdles, including the coronavirus pandemic, the plan did not get materialized.

Why has a single deal boosted confidence?

The spike in the price of the plot raised the hope of realty boom in Hyderabad. Apart from that, for the past three months, all registration offices are experiencing a rise in property registration. From December 21, 2020, to February 10, 2021, around 1.10 lakh registrations took place.
