Renting vs buying: the 2026 math
With commercial rentals in established Gandhinagar zones at ₹50–90 per sq ft per month, ownership break-even arrives faster than most expect—typically 7–9 years for end users. If you plan to stay long term, buying almost always wins.
Commercial property loans run 9.5–11%, with banks financing 60–70% of value.
Consult your CA: especially for GIFT City, where IFSC tax incentives (incl. tax-free income for 20 years) can materially change the buy decision.

Is 2026 a good time to buy?
For most end users—yes. Gandhinagar's commercial market isn't overheated or speculative; prices have moved steadily on real demand. Metro expansion, ongoing GIFT City development, and road upgrades are long-cycle investments that support value over time.
Compared with other Gujarat markets, Gandhinagar still offers better price-to-infrastructure value than most Ahmedabad micro-markets, with solid fundamentals.
Pro insight: get the title search done by your own lawyer—not the developer's team—and confirm the OC before you transfer money. On commercial deals, a clean title and a valid Occupation Certificate protect both your insurance and your resale.
