Can I Buy a Plot Under 5 Lakhs in Hyderabad?

I think you know that, in Hyderabad, lots of people ask this question: “Can I buy a plot under 5 lakhs in Hyderabad?”

Don’t worry, I will explain to you clearly about this 5 lakh price range, where you get the plots (land). Please, you must read the complete article.

Short Answer (Clear & Honest)

👉 Inside Hyderabad city? ❌ NO
👉 Outskirts of Hyderabad? ✅ YES
👉 HMDA / DTCP approved? ⚠️ Very rare under ₹5 lakhs
👉 Agricultural / village layout land? ✅ Possible

Yes, you can buy land for under 5 lakhs, but you can not buy prime city areas. You can buy in the outskirts of Hyderabad.

Why Plots Are Expensive Inside Hyderabad City

Let’s first we can understand with a simple example.

• Example: Kondapur / Gachibowli / Kukatpally
  👉 Plot price: ₹60,000 – ₹1,20,000 per sq. yard
• Even 100 sq. yards = ₹60 lakhs+
  I can say that under 5 lakhs is impossible inside city limits.

That’s why buyers look outside the city.

Where Can You Find Plots Under 5 Lakhs Near Hyderabad?

1. Very Far Outskirts (50–80 km)

You must know that these are villages near Hyderabad, not city suburbs.

Possible areas:

• Near the Vikarabad side villages
• Chevella interior villages
• Siddipet rural side
• Medak villages
• Nalgonda border villages

You should know that these are not HMDA layouts, mostly Gram Panchayat land.

2. Agricultural / Farm Land (Small Share)

You can see that some sellers offer:

• 1 gunta / 2 guntas land
• Used for future investment, not construction

👉 You cannot build a house immediately.

3. EMI / Booking Amount Traps (Be Careful)

I would like to say that some ads say:

“Plot under ₹5 lakhs in Hyderabad.”

But reality:

• ₹50,000 booking
• EMI for 5–7 years
• Final price = ₹8–12 lakhs

You should always ask TOTAL PRICE, not EMI.
