Hyderabad’s Senior Living Market Faces Huge Supply Gap
Hyderabad does not have enough homes designed for older people.
The city has about 1,200 to 1,800 such homes, but it may need 15,000 to 20,000 soon.
By 2035, demand could grow to 40,000 to 50,000 homes.
Many children living abroad want safe, managed homes for their ageing parents.
These communities offer housing, healthcare support, security and social activities.
Some families are changing their view of senior living from an old-age home to an independent lifestyle community.
Homes can cost between Rs 65 lakh and Rs 1.5 crore, plus monthly care and maintenance fees.
Developers may build more projects if land, healthcare access and government policies improve.
Hyderabad has 1,200–1,800 operational senior living units versus immediate demand estimated at 15,000–20,000 units.
Demand for organised retirement communities could reach 40,000–50,000 homes in Hyderabad by 2035.
NRIs account for an estimated 50%–65% of enquiries and purchases in organised senior living projects.
Senior living homes cost about Rs 65 lakh to Rs 1.5 crore, with monthly charges of Rs 25,000–Rs 50,000.
The city’s senior living market could become a Rs 10,000 crore–Rs 15,000 crore asset class by 2035.
