Let’s start…
What is Return on Investment (ROI) in Plots in Hyderabad?
ROI means:
How much profit will you make from your investment?
We can check with a simple formula: ROI = (Selling Price – Buying Price) ÷ Buying Price × 100
We will check with some examples: If you buy a plot for ₹10 lakh and sell it for ₹15 lakh:
Profit = ₹5 lakh
ROI = 50% Very simple.
What Return Can You Expect From Plots Generally?
I must say that there is no single answer because plots depend on location.
But I can say that in most cities, especially growing cities like Hyderabad, you can expect:
Average Plot ROI Range
| Time | Expected Return |
|---|---|
| 1 Year | 5% – 15% |
| 3 Years | 25% – 80% |
| 5 Years | 50% – 150% |
| 8–10 Years | 100% – 400% |
You should know that these are realistic numbers if you pick a good plot in a developing area.
But in prime locations and fast-developing areas, returns can go much higher.
Real Life Example of Plot Returns
We can check some examples from different cities:
Ramesh Example 1:
Ramesh plot bought in 2015 near ORR (Hyderabad)
- Price in 2015: ₹8,000 per sq. yard
- Price in 2025: ₹35,000 per sq. yard (current average)
ROI = 337%
Have you seen? That means the investment almost became 4X.
Mahesh Example 2:
Mahesh, was bought a plot in a slow-growing village.
- Price in 2015: ₹4,000 per sq. yard
- Price in 2025: ₹6,500 per sq. yard
You can see ROI = 62.5%
Mahes still got a positive return, but much lower.

How Long Should You Hold a Plot for Maximum Return in Hyderabad?
- Short holding = small return

I can say that the best holding period is: 5 to 10 years
Why?
You must know that because land appreciation is slow in 1 year.
But in 5+ years, magic happens.

After 5 years: Plot price becomes ₹24 lakh
