Residential yields in India usually sit at 2–4%, commercial at 6–9%. Here is how to read the numbers before you invest.
Rental yield is annual rent divided by property price. It tells you the cash return before appreciation.
Residential vs commercial
Residential homes typically yield less but are easier to buy and exit. Leased shops and offices yield more but need larger ticket sizes and longer lock-ins.
What drives yield
Proximity to employment hubs, metro connectivity, and supply in the micro-market matter more than the city name.
