Vijayawada against the rest of India
Neither the NHB press release nor the list of the RBI's 18 cities carries Vijayawada, so Payotte has no price movement to report for it, and gives none rather than borrowing another city's.
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 Andhra Pradesh off that scale.
Vijayawada lies at 16.5°N, 80.6°E. The nearest of the other 43 cities is Hyderabad, 255 km to the north-west, then Visakhapatnam (300 km, north-east) and Chennai (380 km, south), as the crow flies. No other city on Payotte lies within 150 km. The farthest is Ludhiana, 1,675 km away. The closest city with a RESIDEX figure is Hyderabad, 255 km away, at +5.2%: a neighbour's number, not Vijayawada's own.
Andhra Pradesh has one other city on Payotte: Visakhapatnam. None of them has a RESIDEX figure either.
