The Telangana government is preparing for a major revision in property registration values across the state, with some areas expected to see hikes of up to 100% or even higher. The proposed revision is likely to come into effect by the end of May 2026 and could significantly increase registration charges for property buyers.
Officials from the Registration and Stamps Department say the move is aimed at reducing the large gap between official government property values and actual market prices, especially in rapidly developing parts of Hyderabad. The government is also expecting a major rise in revenue collection through higher stamp duty and registration fees.
The biggest increase is expected in western Hyderabad areas such as Kokapet, Gachibowli, Gandipet, Mokila, Gopanpally, Nanakramguda and Financial District, where real estate prices have surged rapidly in recent years due to IT growth and infrastructure expansion.
According to reports, government registration values in some premium areas remain far below actual market rates. In Kokapet, for example, apartment registration values are currently around ₹3,000 per square foot, while market prices in many projects have crossed ₹12,000 per square foot. Open plot market prices in some western Hyderabad areas are reportedly touching ₹1 lakh to ₹2 lakh per square yard.
The state government reportedly aims to generate nearly ₹4,000 crore in additional revenue through the revised property valuation system. The last major revision in registration values was carried out nearly four years ago.
Experts say the proposed hike could increase the overall cost of buying property because stamp duty and registration charges are calculated based on government market values. Buyers planning to purchase flats, plots, or agricultural land in Hyderabad growth corridors may now try to complete registrations before the revised rates officially come into force.
Meanwhile, eastern Hyderabad regions along the Vijayawada and Warangal highway corridors are expected to witness relatively smaller hikes of around 20%, according to officials familiar with the proposal.
