Ghaziabad against the rest of India

The NHB press release gives no RESIDEX figure for Ghaziabad. The city is one of the 18 in the RBI House Price Index, whose combined change over a year is +3.6%; its own number sits in the RBI database, not in the release. The nine cities with a RESIDEX figure range from -1.7% to +24.4%.

Where Payotte reads the rates, the duty on a ₹50 lakh home runs from ₹2,50,000 in Uttarakhand (5% of the price) to ₹5,00,000 in Puducherry (10%): seven states and union territories out of 36, which leaves Uttar Pradesh off that scale.

Ghaziabad lies at 28.7°N, 77.4°E. Noida, 15 km to the south-west, is practically next door, then Delhi (20 km, west) and Faridabad (30 km, south-west), as the crow flies. Five cities in all lie within 150 km (Noida, Delhi, Faridabad, Meerut and Gurugram). The farthest is Thiruvananthapuram, 2,245 km away. The closest city with a RESIDEX figure is Faridabad, 30 km away, at +24.4%: a neighbour's number, not Ghaziabad's own.

Uttar Pradesh has four other cities on Payotte: Kanpur, Lucknow, Meerut and Noida. None of them has a RESIDEX figure either.
