Is Ahmedabad really India's most affordable housing market?

Yes—among the eight major residential markets tracked by Knight Frank India. Its H1 2026 Affordability Index ranked Ahmedabad as the most affordable, with households requiring approximately 23% of their income for home loan EMIs, compared with 25% in Kolkata and 28% in Pune. This supports the demand for affordable housing in Ahmedabad.

However, this ranking measures home loan payments against household income. It does not mean Ahmedabad has the cheapest property in every locality or across all Indian cities.

For buyers comparing housing Ahmedabad has to offer, the right choice depends on the total cost, usable space, location and monthly EMI. Before choosing an affordable housing scheme in Ahmedabad, check its RERA registration, possession timeline and additional charges.

Laxmi Group offers budget-friendly residential choices, including Laxmi Nivas and Laxmi Aashiyana in Narol. These provide options worth comparing alongside any new affordable housing scheme in Ahmedabad, based on current prices and availability.

Conclusion

Ahmedabad’s ranking supports its position as an affordable major housing market. Buyers can explore Laxmi Group’s residential options while comparing the complete purchase cost with their income and housing needs.
