Ahmedabad offers genuinely more affordable flat rental than most major Indian metros, and BedR is expanding into the city with 100% KYC-verified, no-broker listings across both its established residential core and its newer, IT-adjacent growth corridor. This guide covers real rent expectations across Ahmedabad's major zones and what's driving new demand in specific areas.

A finance professional who relocated to Ahmedabad's SG Highway corridor in 2025 described the value proposition directly: "Coming from Mumbai, the rent difference was genuinely significant for comparable space. What I wasn't prepared for was how spread out the newer development is SG Highway isn't one compact area, it's a long corridor with real variation within it."

Ahmedabad's Established Core vs Newer Corridor

Navrangpura and Satellite represent Ahmedabad's established, centrally located residential zones, with mature infrastructure and strong social amenities built up over decades.

SG Highway and Vastrapur form a newer, more spread-out corridor that's grown alongside Ahmedabad's expanding IT and business services sector, including proximity to GIFT City, the international financial services hub developing nearby.

Why Ahmedabad Is Genuinely More Affordable

Ahmedabad's overall rent base sits meaningfully below Mumbai, Bangalore, and Delhi for comparable flat configurations, reflecting the city's lower overall cost of living relative to India's largest metros. For anyone relocating from a pricier city, this represents a real, calculable improvement in disposable income for a comparable living standard.

The GIFT City Effect

GIFT City, India's developing international financial services centre near Ahmedabad, is driving genuine new residential demand in the surrounding corridor as more finance and business services professionals relocate for roles there. This is contributing to SG Highway's growth as a rental zone distinct from Ahmedabad's traditional residential core.

Furnishing and Deposit Norms

Furnished flats in Ahmedabad typically carry a moderate premium over unfurnished equivalents, generally somewhat lower in absolute terms than the premiums seen in pricier metros given the overall lower rent base. Deposits typically run one to three months' rent, consistent with broader Gujarat market practice confirm the exact terms in writing before any payment.

SG Highway's Spread-Out Geography

Unlike a compact locality, SG Highway is a long corridor with meaningful variation in rent and development stage along its length. Confirming the specific stretch relative to your actual workplace, rather than assuming uniform character across the whole corridor, matters for an accurate expectation of both rent and commute.

Conclusion

Ahmedabad offers genuine affordability relative to India's largest metros, split between an established residential core and a newer, business-driven growth corridor. BedR is building its verified presence across both as it expands into the city.
