The correlation
between building road infrastructure and restricting house prices to moderate
levels in Indian metros is shown in the above graph.
Length of road construction is known to have a direct
bearing on real estate anywhere in the world and our Patna is no exception. But
what is the correlation of Roads and prices in Patna real estate market? Does
road building check property prices in Patna or they help them to rise?
As road lengths increase and there quality improves ,
connectivity improves across a wider geography – thereby attracting new project
launches at lower price points away from the centre of Patna. An example is the
connectivity of Bihta with Patna through the road. Another example is the
flyover built above the Raza Bazaar area; it has made western Patna, Danapur,
Khagaul, and Shaguna Mode more accessible as residential property market
option. This has reduced or better say checked prices in central Patna. This
would also help increase affordable housing projects near Patna in areas like
Sampatchak, Bihta and Phulwarisharif.
This holds for intra city connectivity but what about roads
built to connect Patna with other areas of Bihar?
If more roads are constructed to connect the state capital,
Patna, with other parts of Bihar, property prices rise in Patna as the demand
for property in Patna increases from people all over Bihar. The very best
example has been the construction of Gandhi Setu in 1980s. It led to
introduction of APARTMENT culture in Patna.
Currently, the only solution to the problem of urban housing
shortage in Patna is building new infrastructure to connect more outer areas to
the city centre. We at BuySellRentPatna.in feel that when new roads are
constructed across rural and urban areas in Patna, the spread of development
happens over a wider geography. These potentially bring down the premium that
certain urban centres in Patna command for having better connectivity. This is
particularly true for our infrastructure-starved city, Patna.
Fortunately, road infrastructure has emerged as a key focus
area for the current state government. The young Deputy CM of Bihar, is keen on
improving connectivity in and around Patna at a greater pace. According to
media reports earlier this year, he has an ambitious plan to connect Patna with
the most distant part of Bihar within Five hours. This is expected to improve
freight movement, ease traffic bottlenecks and improve inter-city connectivity
in the state. It will be interesting to watch residential property price
movements in the coming years in Patna after completion of a number of road
highways and bridges in and around Patna. We say so
because as soon as roads are laid the adjacent land owners start demanding
prices in multiples of previous price, and real estate prices in Patna are
driven therefore more so by land component than construction and other soft
costs. Strict restriction in land usage in Master Plans with no
change permitted later would help set right the property prices in Patna.
Nice Blog Post… If someone wants to take a flat or apartment in your budget of 1bhk, 2bhk and 3bhk, then Godrej Hillside price list is giving you a good real estate property.
