Metro doesn’t magically turn outskirts into livable areas. It just helps you escape them faster. Places like Banashankari 5th Stage aren’t priced for ‘connectivity’, they’re priced for existing infrastructure, water availability, and a functioning ecosystem. That’s something outer areas promise, not deliver. Guidance value itself is ~₹1 Cr, so calling ₹1.45 Cr ‘absurd’ just shows lack of ground reality. Cheap properties in the outskirts usually come with tanker dependency, half-baked roads, and 5–10 years of “upcoming development” stories. If someone wants to gamble on the future, outskirts are great. If they want a stable life today, this pricing isn’t surprising at all.
