"What is the price of a 1000 sq.ft. plot in Lucknow?" is the single most-searched plot question on Google for the city. The honest answer depends entirely on which corridor you ask about. Lucknow is a ten-corridor city with prices that vary by 14× from frontier villages to premium pockets. Ek hi naap, das alag-alag daam — same size, ten different prices. This page maps every one of them with 2026 numbers.
We have built this from registry data, project price lists, and our own ground truth running Estone Infra at ₹1,750/sq.ft. on the Sultanpur Road frontier — where a 1,000 sq.ft. plot lands at ₹17.5 lakh. Below you will find the quick-answer table, the gaj conversion, area-by-area breakdown, FAR/setback math, and the full worked-out total cost (plot + stamp duty + registry).
Quick answer — 1000 sq.ft. plot price ranges across Lucknow
| Corridor | Rate ₹/sq.ft. | 1000 sq.ft. plot price |
|---|---|---|
| Mohanlalganj (fringe villages) | ₹650–₹2,000 | ₹6.5L–₹20L |
| Sultanpur Road frontier (Estone Infra) | ₹1,750 | ₹17.5L |
| Sultanpur Road Zone 2 (IT City / Wellness City) | ₹2,200–₹5,000 | ₹22L–₹50L |
| Hardoi Road | ₹1,200–₹3,000 | ₹12L–₹30L |
| IIM Road / Sitapur Road | ₹2,500–₹5,500 | ₹25L–₹55L |
| Faizabad Road | ₹3,000–₹6,500 | ₹30L–₹65L |
| Gomti Nagar Extension | ₹4,500–₹9,500 | ₹45L–₹95L |
| Amar Shaheed Path | ₹6,500–₹12,000 | ₹65L–₹1.2Cr |
| Sushant Golf City (off-corridor) | ₹5,000–₹10,000+ | ₹50L–₹1Cr+ |
Three takeaways. First, the 1,000 sq.ft. plot price in Lucknow varies 14× across the city. Second, the Sultanpur Road frontier at ₹17.5L is the sweet spot for buyers who want RERA-registered, LDA-NOC clear, gated inventory under ₹20L. Third, the biggest percentage growth runway lives on the frontier — not in mature pockets where most appreciation has already played out.
1000 sq.ft. = how many gaj? (≈111 gaj)
Lucknow listings often quote in gaj rather than sq.ft. — a North Indian unit rooted in the gaz of Mughal-era land measurement. Here is the simple conversion:
- 1 gaj = 9 sq.ft. = 0.836 sq.m. = 1 sq. yard
- 1,000 sq.ft. = 111.11 gaj
- 100 gaj = 900 sq.ft. (slightly smaller than 1,000 sq.ft.)
- 112 gaj ≈ 1,008 sq.ft. (slightly bigger)
So when a seller says "sau gaj ka plot", that is 900 sq.ft. — not 1,000 sq.ft. This 100-square-foot difference matters when you negotiate per-sq.ft. rate. Always confirm the unit explicitly. Detailed conversion table: gaj to sq.ft. for Lucknow plots.

Here is the same data with corridor-level context — what the rate buys you in approval, infra and lifestyle terms.
| Corridor | 1000 sq.ft. price | Approval typical | Infra anchor | 5-yr ROI estimate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mohanlalganj (RERA) | ₹13L–₹20L | RERA + LDA NOC | ORR + Wellness City spillover | +80–140% |
| Sultanpur Road frontier | ₹17.5L | RERA + LDA NOC | IT City + Wellness City + ORR | +90–140% |
| Sultanpur Road Zone 2 | ₹22L–₹50L | LDA + RERA | HCL IT City + Wellness City | +50–80% |
| Faizabad Road | ₹30L–₹65L | LDA + RERA | Polytechnic crossing + Indira Nagar | +25–40% |
| Gomti Nagar Extension | ₹45L–₹95L | LDA + RERA | Lulu Mall + Phoenix Palassio | +25–35% |
| Shaheed Path | ₹65L–₹1.2Cr | LDA + RERA | Ekana + Lulu + Sahara | +15–25% |
1000 sq.ft. on Sultanpur Road — ₹17.5L to ₹35L depending on zone
Sultanpur Road is not a single market — it is four zones with very different pricing. Here is the 1,000 sq.ft. price in each, distance measured from the Shaheed Path junction:
- Zone 1 (0–8 km, Gomti Nagar Ext / Arjunganj) — ₹30L–₹70L for 1,000 sq.ft. Mature, premium, slow growth.
- Zone 2 (8–18 km, IT City / Wellness City belt) — ₹22L–₹50L. LDA capex zone; private projects ₹3,500–₹5,000/sq.ft.
- Zone 3 (18–25 km, Kisan Path frontier — Adampur Naubasta) — ₹9L–₹25L. Estone Infra at ₹17.5L sits here.
- Zone 4 (off-corridor, Sushant Golf City) — ₹50L–₹1Cr+. Premium gated lifestyle.
The Zone 3 frontier is the clear ROI winner today. LDA Wellness City launches in 2026 at ₹4,000+/sq.ft., which sets the ceiling for the corridor. Estone Infra at ₹1,750 is essentially pre-Wellness-City pricing for the same catchment.

1000 sq.ft. in Gomti Nagar Extension — ₹45L–₹95L
Gomti Nagar Extension is the spillover of old Gomti Nagar into the Shaheed Path catchment. 1,000 sq.ft. plots cost ₹45–₹95 lakh in 2026, depending on sector and proximity to Lulu Mall. The lifestyle infrastructure is fully in place — Phoenix Palassio, Ekana Stadium, top schools, hospitals, metro Phase 1 connectivity. As an investment, however, three-year appreciation has cooled to 25–40%. Best fit: end-users who want to live now and treat capital growth as a slow bonus.
1000 sq.ft. in Mohanlalganj — ₹6.5L–₹20L
Mohanlalganj tehsil contains the Adampur Naubasta micro-pocket and stretches across to Raebareli Road. 1,000 sq.ft. plots cost ₹6.5L–₹20L depending on village, approval status and project quality. The fringe villages at ₹650/sq.ft. require deep verification — many lack LDA NOC. The RERA-registered gated end at ₹1,500–₹2,000/sq.ft. is where most legitimate inventory sits. Three-year appreciation has been the highest in the city — 50–90% in active villages — driven by Outer Ring Road, Wellness City spillover, and Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway. Detailed pillar: plots in Mohanlalganj Lucknow.
1000 sq.ft. in Sushant Golf City — ₹50L to ₹1 crore+
Sushant Golf City (Ansal API) is the trophy address. 1,000 sq.ft. resale plots cost ₹50L–₹1Cr+ depending on sector. The premium reflects mature lifestyle infrastructure — golf course, clubhouse, schools, hospital, mall — and the prestige factor. As a 2026 investment entry it is largely played out; three-year appreciation has slowed to 12–18%. Sushant Golf City was ₹1,000/sq.ft. in 2014 and ₹5,000+ today. The Sultanpur Road frontier today is following the same arc. Detailed cluster: plots near Sushant Golf City.
What to build on a 1000 sq.ft. plot — FAR and setbacks
Lucknow LDA building bye-laws permit a Floor Area Ratio (FAR) of 2.0–2.5 on residential plots up to 5,000 sq.ft. With 25% mandatory open setback (front, rear, sides), you typically get:
| Parameter | Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Plot area | 1,000 sq.ft. | About 92.9 sq.m. |
| Front setback | 3 m | Mandatory for residential |
| Rear setback | 1.5 m | Standard LDA bye-law |
| Side setbacks | 1.2 m each | Increased for plots above 200 sq.m. |
| Ground coverage | ~65% | 650 sq.ft. footprint |
| Floor Area Ratio (FAR) | 2.0–2.5 | Built-up = 2,000–2,500 sq.ft. |
| Permitted floors | G+2 | G+3 with stilt parking allowed in some zones |
That gives you enough room for a comfortable 3BHK with parking on ground floor, living + 2 bedrooms on first, master bedroom + terrace on second. Itna ghar chaar logon ki family ke liye sahi rehta hai. Always confirm the latest LDA bye-laws on ldalucknow.in or with a registered architect, since these change periodically. Vastu placement of entrance and rooms is a separate consideration — see vastu compliant plots in Lucknow.
Total cost = plot + stamp + registry (worked example)
Here is the worked-out worksheet for a 1,000 sq.ft. plot at ₹1,750/sq.ft. on Sultanpur Road (Estone Infra reference) for a male buyer:
| Line item | Calculation | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Plot price | 1,000 × ₹1,750 | ₹17,50,000 |
| Stamp duty (male, 7%) | 7% of ₹17.5L | ₹1,22,500 |
| Registration (1%, capped ₹30,000) | 1% of ₹17.5L = ₹17,500 | ₹17,500 |
| Drafting + stamp paper | Lump sum | ₹5,000 |
| Mutation (Dakhil-Kharij) | Tehsil schedule | ₹10,000 |
| All-in (male buyer) | ₹19,05,000 | |
| All-in (female buyer) | 6% stamp duty <₹10L portion | ₹18,87,500 |
| All-in (joint M+F) | 6.5% stamp duty | ₹18,96,250 |
Net of everything, an ₹17.5L plot lands at about ₹19 lakh all-in — well inside the ₹20 lakh budget that most middle-class Lucknow families plan for. Detailed math: stamp duty on plots in UP. Budget-led buying guide: plots under ₹20 lakh in Lucknow.
How to pay — cash vs loan vs mixed
Three options for a ₹17.5L plot.
- Full cash — fastest, simplest, no interest cost. Suits buyers with cash on hand who don't need liquidity for construction.
- Full loan (70–80% LTV) — borrow ₹12.25L–₹14L, put ₹3.5L–₹5.25L down. EMI roughly ₹11,500–₹13,200/month over 15 years at ~7.75%. Keeps cash liquid for construction or other needs.
- Mixed — most common. Pay 50% from savings (₹8.75L) and finance the rest. Reduces interest cost while keeping reserves for construction.
