Greater Noida: Is buying finally beating renting?

Is the EMI vs rent debate finally tilting towards buying in Greater Noida, or am I just fed up with landlords? My rent in Sector 71 just went up again, and honestly, paying ₹25k for a 2BHK feels like throwing money away. Everyone glorifies rental flexibility but nobody talks about the constant hikes and zero equity. I'm looking at places around Noida Extension, maybe a 2BHK for ₹60-70L. The EMI for that feels comparable to rent now, especially with Jewar coming up. Should I just take the plunge? Change my mind.
