Knight Frank India CMD Shishir Baijal said: ''Hyderabad was one of the most resilient markets which has performed well even during the pandemic.'' Both commercial as well as residential markets remained buoyant during the last few quarters, he added.

''The fervour among resident homebuyers to increase their living spaces and upgrade their lifestyles should continue to drive the market in the near to medium term,'' Baijal said.
