In Q2 2024 (Apr–Jun), we compared 12 localities around Indore to track evolving micro-market trends. The average land price in Indore rose to ₹5,144.92 INR/sq ft (≈ ₹55,400 INR/sq m), marking a 2.86% uptick from Q1 2024’s ₹5,000.08 INR/sq ft. Our analysis divides the city into five zones—Elite, Premium, Classic, Affordable and Economic—ranging from ₹3,500 to ₹6,600 INR/sq ft. Elite pockets such as Piplya-Kumar continue to command premiums, while peripheral corridors like Super Corridor and Indore-Bypass-Road offer entry-point pricing. Below is a quick snapshot of Q2 2024 real estate in Indore, from zone-level averages to top gainers and laggards, plus key amenities and investment plays.
Indore’s residential market splits neatly into five zones—each defined by its infrastructure, connectivity, and price tier—to help you zero in on neighbourhoods matching your goals:

| Economic Zone | 1 | ₹3,500 | Industrial plots, long-term land plays (AB Road) |
Top addresses commanding ₹6,000–7,000/sq ft, featuring premium finishes, 24×7 security, and proximity to IIM Indore and the upcoming Super Corridor commercial hub.
Rapidly growing suburbs with large-format malls (C21 Mall, Treasure Island), strong bus/MMTS links and direct access to the new Indore Metro corridor.
Heritage neighbourhoods with steady rental yields, established schools (Daly College, MRSC School), and arterial road connectivity.
Entry-point prices under ₹4,000/sq ft in budget-friendly gated complexes, with improving infrastructure along NH 52 and the Bypass Road.
Peripheral localities offering sub-₹3,500/sq ft plots, long-term upside as the Super Corridor and ring-road projects materialize.

| Super Corridor | -1.2% | Short-term softening after initial township hand-overs. |

Indore’s neighbourhood appeal hinges on proximity to essential social infrastructure—healthcare, education, retail, leisure and everyday conveniences:
Bombay Hospital, Choithram Hospital & Research Centre and Sri Aurobindo Hospital deliver multi-specialty care within 5–15 minutes of top localities.
Indian Institute of Management (IIM Indore), Daly College, MRSC School and New Digamber Public School anchor strong rental demand in Piplya-Kumar, Bicholi-Mardana and MR-11.
C21 Mall (Super Corridor), Treasure Island Mall (MR-11) and Malhar Mega Mall (Vijay Nagar) offer multiplexes, international brands and curated food courts.
A dense network of supermarkets (V-Mart, More), 150+ cafés & restaurants, pockets of green space (Piplya Lake, Gandhi Hall Garden) and weekend cultural hubs ensure daily needs and leisure options are always close by.
Indore’s expanding transport network and urban projects are unlocking new growth corridors and cutting commute times:
Phase 1 (North–South corridor) is under construction, with operational testing slated for Q4 2024.
Two high-frequency SITRAM corridors (Super Corridor–Vijay Nagar, AB Road–Railway Station) plus electric-bus pilot routes on Rau and Piplya junctions.
NH 52 (Agra–Mumbai Road) widening and Indore Bypass Road Phase 2 completion are slashing travel times to Pithampur and Ujjain. A proposed east-ring road will link AB Road to Super Corridor by 2026.
The upcoming TCS InfoCity and Phase II of the Super Corridor SEZ are driving demand in Nipania and MR-11.
