India's rental housing market is showing early signs of cooling as fresh housing supply increases, easing pressure on rents across major cities. The latest Magicbricks Rental Index Report indicates a 9% quarter-on-quarter and 12% year-on-year rise in rental supply, significantly outpacing the 0.6% increase in tenant demand. While average rents still climbed 14% annually, markets like Gurugram and Mumbai are experiencing slower rental appreciation due to new inventory entering the market. Bengaluru stands out with an 8.6% quarterly rent increase, driven by robust demand from the IT sector. The Rs 10,000–20,000 rental segment remains the most sought after, accounting for 36% of overall demand. Cities such as Bengaluru and Hyderabad continue to see strong rental momentum, while NCR and MMR markets are moderating as supply catches up with demand. The report also highlights strong rental yields in Chennai (4.87%) and Kolkata (4.81%), indicating healthy investor returns.
