Rental Yield in Bandra: West, Pali Hill, East and BKC
Rental yield in Bandra West is low by Mumbai standards, while the East and BKC report higher figures. Sources differ widely, so this page shows each yield with its publisher and date, explains how yield is computed and sets it against the Mumbai range cited in our files.
How yield is computed
Gross rental yield is the annual rent divided by the purchase price, shown as a percentage. A flat worth Rs 5 crore that rents for Rs 1 lakh a month earns Rs 12 lakh a year, which is a gross yield of 2.4 percent. The numbers are hypothetical and only illustrate the arithmetic.
Net yield subtracts costs such as maintenance, property tax and vacancy. Property Butler (May 2026) puts net yield for Bandra West about 0.4 to 0.6 points lower than gross. RealtyPromoo (April 2026) cites maintenance of about Rs 8,000 to 15,000 per month in Bandra East.
Yields by area
The table lists every yield figure in our sources. They come from listings and asking prices, and the publishers use different price and rent samples, so the rows are not directly comparable. We have not averaged them.
| Area | Gross yield | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Bandra West | about 2.0 to 2.5 percent | Property Butler, May 2026 |
| Bandra West | about 3.70 percent | Square Yards, Jun 2026 |
| Pali Hill | about 1.5 to 2.0 percent | Property Butler, May 2026 |
| Bandra East | about 4 to 5 percent | RealtyPromoo, Apr 2026 |
| Bandra East | about 4.2 percent | Square Yards, Jun 2026 |
| BKC | about 3.9 percent (average rent about Rs 234 per sq ft) | Square Yards, Apr 2026 |
| Juhu (for reference) | about 3.48 percent | Square Yards, Jun 2026 |
Listing and asking based. Square Yards and Property Butler differ by about 1.2 to 1.7 points for Bandra West, which shows how method changes the answer.

Against the Mumbai average
Property Butler's Pali Hill guide (May 2026) cites a Mumbai-wide gross yield of about 2.5 to 3.0 percent. Against that range, its Bandra West figure of 2.0 to 2.5 percent is at or below the bottom of the range, and Pali Hill at 1.5 to 2.0 percent is lower still. RealtyPromoo's 4 to 5 percent for Bandra East is above it.
Our files hold no Mumbai average from Square Yards, so we cannot place the Square Yards figures against a city number from the same publisher. The Juhu row is the only same-source comparison, and Square Yards shows Bandra West slightly above Juhu in June 2026.
| Reference | Gross yield | Source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Mumbai average | about 2.5 to 3.0 percent | Property Butler (Pali Hill guide), May 2026 |
| Bandra West | about 2.0 to 2.5 percent | Property Butler, May 2026 |
| Bandra East | about 4 to 5 percent | RealtyPromoo, Apr 2026 |
Mixed publishers, so the comparison is indicative only.
Why West is low and East is higher
West prices are high relative to rents. A Bandra West 3 BHK furnished rent of about Rs 2 to 4 lakh a month (Property Butler, May 2026) sits against a purchase price in the crores. The East has lower prices per sq ft and a large pool of office workers at BKC, about 4 lakh daily according to RealtyPromoo, which supports rental demand.
Look at Bandra rent by BHK for the underlying rents and at Bandra rates for the price side. Each source's yield is built from its own pair of numbers.
Using yield in a decision
Yield is one part of return. Buyers in Bandra West often weigh price stability and scarcity more than rent, whereas East buyers can look for a higher income. Both sides carry delivery and holding-cost risks that are discussed in the investment guide. This page is information, not advice.
