The verified observation
| City | Annual index change | Compared with the 50-city composite |
|---|---|---|
| Bengaluru | +21.5% | +14.5 percentage points |
The 50-city composite annual change was +7.0%. All comparisons above use the same reporting period and annual-change definition.
What the figure means
Bengaluru’s 21.5% annual increase is the largest among the seven city figures reviewed here. It exceeds the 50-city composite annual change by 14.5 percentage points. The national composite covers a wider group, so this is not a like-for-like ranking of all 50 cities.
The gap between Bengaluru and Chennai’s 10.8% annual increase is 10.7 percentage points. Both figures refer to April–June 2026 compared with the corresponding quarter a year earlier; neither should be presented as a change since last month.
A large historical increase is not a forecast. It does not establish that a future buyer will earn the same return, or that every Bengaluru neighbourhood changed at the city index rate. Transaction costs, financing and property-specific conditions are outside this index comparison.
