HMDA to Auction 8.37 Acres in Banjara Hills in ₹5,000-Crore Hyderabad E-Auction

The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) plans to auction 8.37 acres in Banjara Hills, near MLA Colony, as part of a larger e-auction of premium land across the city targeting more than ₹5,000 crore in revenue. The Banjara Hills parcel is one of three sites in the planned sale, according to Hyderabad Mail and the Telangana Tribune.

What's on the block

HMDA's planned e-auction covers roughly 42 acres across three Hyderabad locations:

• Banjara Hills — 8.37 acres near MLA Colony. HMDA owns about 15 acres in the area, a significant portion of which has reportedly been encroached upon.
• Moosapet — about 14 acres.
• Kondapur — about 20 acres.

Together the three sites carry a revenue target of over ₹5,000 crore. The figures are for a prospective auction; a specific reserve or expected price for the Banjara Hills parcel alone has not been published — only the aggregate target across all 42 acres.

Why Banjara Hills commands a premium

Banjara Hills is one of Hyderabad's most established luxury addresses. Notably, in Telangana's June 5, 2026 statewide land-value revision, mature central localities like Banjara Hills saw little to no change — not because they are inexpensive, but because their notified values already sat close to market levels. That existing premium is precisely what makes an 8-acre government land parcel here so valuable at auction.

HMDA auctions have been setting records

Government land auctions have repeatedly tested new highs in Hyderabad's west. Raidurg, in particular, has set benchmark prices — see our coverage of Raidurg's record-breaking land auction and the ₹237-crore-per-acre Raidurg milestone. A Banjara Hills parcel, in the city's core rather than its growth corridor, will be watched closely as a different kind of benchmark.

What to watch

Key open questions remain: the confirmed auction date, the reserve price for the Banjara Hills plot, and how HMDA resolves the reported encroachment on part of its Banjara Hills holding before the sale. We will update this report as details are confirmed.
