In the April-June quarter of 2013, price per sq. ft. was Rs 2,400, which dropped to Rs 2,200 in the July-September quarter of the same year. However, it has been on a climb since then, with average prices during the April-June quarter of 2014 hovering at Rs 2,500 per sq. ft.

Major Challenges

Mahalaxmi Nagar has had problems in the past with overflowing drains and persistent power cuts because of inadequate and poorly maintained infrastructure.

Traffic is also a hassle. Roads around the area can get crowded during peak hours, but that is to be expected in a popular urban area. Hopefully, the planned Indore Metro project will solve this problem to some extent.

The Indore Metro is expected to be operational by 2019. This is expected to further boost the realty market of the area by enhancing the region’s connectivity to other major growth centres. Thus, investing in Mahalaxmi Nagar property could prove to be a wise choice since prices are expected to rise in the future.
