Hyderabad: Residential real estate market sees major dip


Hyderabad: The residential real estate market in Hyderabad experienced a significant downturn in the second quarter of 2024. The latest report by PropEquity, a real estate data analytics firm, reveals a significant drop in both new launches and sales during the April-June quarter of 2024.

Among the nine major cities – Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Navi Mumbai,https://telanganatoday.com/tag/qoq and Thane – Hyderabad experienced the steepest quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) decline in housing sales, with a 36 per cent drop.


In Q2 2024, 15,016 units were sold, compared to 23,595 units in Q1 2024. New residential launches in Hyderabad also saw a significant decrease, with 11,603 units launched—a 19 per cent decline from the previous quarter (Q1 2024).

Also, compared to same period last year (Q2 2023), Hyderabad experienced a 36 per cent decrease in new residential launches, dropping from 18,232 units launched to 11,603 units in Q2 2024. Regarding sales, Hyderabad saw a 20 per cent year-on-year (YoY) decline, with 18,757 units sold in Q2 2023 compared to 15,016 units in Q2 2024.

In contrast, Delhi, Bengaluru, and Chennai recorded YoY growth rates of 95 per cent, 67 per cent, and 21 per cent respectively in residential launches. Hyderabad’s decline was second only to Pune, which saw a 47 per cent drop. For housing sales, Mumbai and Kolkata showed increases of 27 per cent YoY, while Hyderabad experienced a 20 per cent decrease, followed by Pune at 15 per cent.

“The marginal drop in new launch supply across top Tier 1 cities is primarily due to the election quarter and the typically sluggish nature of Q2. However, the higher absorption compared to new supply signifies the ongoing robustness and good health of the residential real estate market post-COVID,” said Samir Jasuja, CEO & MD of PropEquity.

Across nine major cities, 1,19,901 units were sold in Q2 2024, an 18 per cent decline from the previous quarter’s 146,147 units.

Sangareddy: In a shocking incident, a woman axed her husband to death, allegedly when he tried to rape their daughter at their residence at Sulthanpur village in Chowtakur mandal in the early hours of Thursday.

According to police, Manaiah (55), who was addicted to liquor, went home in an inebriated condition late on Wednesday night. When he began arguing with his wife Indira and their daughter, they locked him in a room. However, he broke the doors of the room with an axe and crowbar. He again tried to attack them and rape his daughter. Indira then managed to wrest the axe from his hands after a brawl and attacked him with the weapon. Manaiah died on the spot. The mother and daughter then called the Pulkal police and alerted them at 3 am. The police reached the house and shifted Manaiah’s body to the Sangareddy government hospital for postmortem.


According to villagers, the daughter’s husband had died a few months ago. Since then, she, along with her child, was living with her parents. However, Manaiah used to have frequent quarrels with her even over petty issues. The villagers said Manaiah’s only son had died by suicide four years ago, reportedly unable to bear harassment from him. The family then got some money as compensation for handing over land for widening of the NH-161 a few years ago. Since then, Manaiah had kept the money in his account and was spending it on liquor. This had frequently led to arguments in the family.

Indira and her daughter are said to be in police custody. The police have registered a case. Investigation is on.

Explained: How live streaming works?

Live streaming

How live streaming works?

Streaming is the method used to transmit data when watching video over the Internet. It involves delivering a video file gradually, usually from a remote storage location. Instead of downloading the entire video before playback, streaming transmits small portions of the file at a time, allowing users to start watching almost immediately.

Live streaming, on the other hand, is when video is broadcast over the Internet in real-time, without prior recording or storage. This technology enables live transmission of events such as TV broadcasts, video game sessions, and social media videos, fostering real-time interaction between broadcasters and viewers worldwide

Know the process

1. Capture: The process begins with capturing audio and video content using cameras, microphones, or other input devices. This content could be anything from a live concert to a tutorial session or a gaming session.

2. Encoding: The captured audio and video signals are then encoded into a digital format suitable for transmission over the Internet. This typically involves compressing the data using codecs (compression-decompression algorithms) to reduce file size and optimise for streaming.

3. Transmission: The encoded audio-video stream is transmitted over the internet to a streaming server. This server may be hosted on a cloud platform or a dedicated server infrastructure designed to handle live streaming traffic.

4. Distribution: Once the stream reaches the server, it is distributed to viewers who access the live stream through their devices (computers, smartphones, tablets). Viewers use streaming applications or platforms (such as YouTube Live, Twitch, Facebook Live, etc.) to connect to the server and receive the live stream.

5. Playback: Viewers can watch the live stream in real-time as it is being broadcast. The streaming client on their device decodes the received audio-video data and displays it on their screen, allowing them to interact with the content live.

Key technologies

Codecs: Software or hardware algorithms that encode and decode audio-video data efficiently.

Streaming Protocols: Protocols like RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol), HLS (HTTP Live Streaming), and MPEG-DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) facilitate the delivery of streaming content.

Content Delivery Networks (CDNs): Networks of servers distributed geographically to ensure efficient delivery of live streams to viewers worldwide.

Streaming platforms: Services that provide infrastructure and tools for content creators to stream live video, manage audiences, and interact with viewers.
