In 15 localities, the prices declined in the range of 1 to 10 per cent in these months. According to portal’s vice-president and business head Aditya Varma, the survey covered 53,577 persons who are looking towards purchase of residential properties. While 44 per cent of the demand is for residential properties costing less than Rs 30 lakh, 25 per cent demand is for properties ranging between Rs 30 lakh and Rs 60 lakh and 20 per cent of the demand is for properties costing Rs 60 lakh to Rs 1 crore.

The demand for properties valued at over Rs 1 crore is 11 per cent.Interestingly, the survey reveals, 62 per cent of the property seekers are willing to purchase residences anywhere in the city provided their essential requirements are met. For the purpose of the survey, the state capital was broadly divided into greater Hyderabad, Hyderabad and Secunderabad. However, the report did not explain on what basis the divisions were made. For instance, Hitec City and Banjara Hills areas were included in the Hyderabad division while Jubilee Hills, located between the two areas, was included in the greater Hyderabad division. Varma said that such “flaws” would be removed in the future surveys. Similarly, with regard to the residential property for rent, the report stated that the sample size was lower than that of seekers looking to buy, which “might cause some error in the analysis”. The demand for rental properties, the report indicated, too declined by 5 to 11 per cent.

The Union government said the Hyderabad Metro Rail project would be showcased as a model for other public transport and infrastructure projects. The Union joint secretary for investments, Mr Sidhartha Pradhan, who reviewed the progress of the Metro Rail project here on Monday said the bidding process of the project reflected a win-win situation for both the government and the private developer.

He congratulated the HMR managing director, Mr N.V.S. Reddy, and said the agreement would pave the way for development of largescale infrastructure projects in the country. Metro Rail officials said work would begin as per schedule with the cooperation of civic bodies. Shifting of utility services will begin very shortly so that the actual work would start in the first quarter of 2009.Mr Pradhan's observations assumed significance in the backdrop of the comments of the Delhi Metro Rail chief, Mr E. Sreedharan, who had reportedly raised doubts over the motive of the developer and said the further expansion of the Metro Rail would lead to real estate business in Hyderabad. The state government reacted swiftly and said the exchequer would receive around Rs 30, 000 crore over a period of 30 years with the agreement.

The government snapped ties with the Delhi Metro Rail officials after the controversy and threatened to file a defamation suit against Mr Sreedharan. The issue subsided with the intervention of the Centre which had reportedly asked officials of both the Hyderabad and Delhi Metro Rail authorities to maintain calm.
