District overview

North West Delhi — now a mostly urban district; the farm belt moved to Outer North

North West Delhi is a district where a buyer of agricultural land should be realistic: after the 2026 reorganisation most of what remains is urban, with Rohini, Kirari and Nangloi Jat as its three sub-divisions. We found no area or population figure for the new boundary. The old North West district also held Narela, Bawana, Alipur and Mundka, and for a farmland buyer the useful fact is that those places are now in Outer North Delhi.

The Revenue Department's list of 25 December 2025 gives the new North West its three sub-divisions and a short village list: Mubarikpur Dabas, Nithari, Kirari Suleman Nagar and Sultanpur Mazara in Kirari; Kamaruddin Nagar, Mangolpur Khurd, Nangloi Jat and Nangloi Saiyed in Nangloi Jat; and Badli, Naharpur, Rithala and Samaypur in Rohini (Revenue Department). Shakur Basti and Shalimar Bagh went to Central North. The gazette is dated 25 December 2025 and The Week/PTI says it took effect immediately (The Week/PTI, Dec 2025).

The three old North West micro-markets that Farmland India tracks, Narela, Bawana and Alipur, therefore belong with Outer North Delhi, and their guides should be read there. What this district offers is access: Swarajya reports that Urban Extension Road-II runs through Rohini (Swarajya, 2026), and Business Today names Rohini and Nangloi among areas Phase 5 of the Metro is to serve (Business Today, Jul 2026).

Farmhouse land is not a feature of this district. We found no sourced price for agricultural land in Kirari, Nangloi Jat or Rohini, and a buyer who wants an agricultural parcel or a farmhouse inside the capital should start with Outer North or South West Delhi. This page explains why, names what remains and warns about colony and abadi land that gets called farmland.

The Delhi Revenue Department's registration page sets stamp duty on sale, conveyance and gift deeds at 6% for a male buyer and 4% for a female buyer, charged on the consideration or the circle rate, whichever is higher, and a registration fee of 1% on the same basis plus ₹100 (Delhi Revenue Department). The page lists no separate rate for agricultural land, and we did not find rates for NDMC or Cantonment areas. On registration offices, The Week/PTI reported in December 2025 that the existing 22 sub-registrar offices would expand to 39 under a separate notification (The Week/PTI, Dec 2025), so confirm which Sub-Registrar covers the village.

For agricultural land, The Realty Today reported in December 2025 that Delhi's circle rate is a single ₹53 lakh per acre last revised in 2008, and that a draft would raise it to as much as ₹5 crore per acre in some locations, with no uniform rate across villages; it was a draft and not notified at that date (The Realty Today, Dec 2025). The same report quotes a Revenue Department estimate of more than 50,000 acres in over 200 villages still in agricultural use; the report names no village in these three sub-divisions. Realty Today is a trade outlet and we found no notified 2026 rate, so get any figure in writing from the Sub-Registrar. Conversion or change of land use is a separate approval, not a stamp-duty line.

Know the belt

What is moving prices in North West Delhi

A mostly urban market with no sourced farmland price. These notes explain what is actually for sale and what to avoid.

Kirari, Nangloi Jat and Rohini village and colony plots

No sourced price series

We found no registered-rate, compensation or news price series for agricultural land in these three sub-divisions, and use no listing figure. A price per sq yd for a colony plot says nothing about agricultural land value.

Check: whether the plot is sanctioned, in a colony on the regularisation list or in Lal Dora abadi.

Remaining farm pockets

No sourced price series

Small pockets of cropland may survive near the northern villages, but we found no crop data for them. Treat any offer of "agricultural land" in Rohini or Kirari as needing a khatauni and a DDA zone letter first.

Check: the khatauni class, possession, and whether the parcel is already in a sanctioned layout.

Where the farmland went

See Outer North Delhi

Narela, Bawana, Alipur, Kanjhawla and Tikri Kalan are listed in Outer North (Delhi Revenue Department list, 25 Dec 2025). See the Outer North Delhi page for the DDA pooling data and the villages named in the draft circle-rate report.

Check: the district and sub-division before registering.

Colony regularisation

1,511 of 1,731 colonies eligible (IANS, 7 Apr 2026)

The scheme regularises existing structures as they stand and the Revenue Department issues conveyance deeds or authorisation slips; 220 colonies were left out for non-conforming land, green zones or proximity to monuments (IANS, Apr 2026). Nothing in the reports extends it to agricultural land.

Check: whether the specific colony is on the list; the portal opened on 24 April 2026 (Outlook Money, Apr 2026).

Circle rates to check

₹53 lakh per acre (2008, reported) vs draft up to ₹5 crore

The Realty Today reported in December 2025 a single agricultural rate of ₹53 lakh per acre since 2008 and a draft of up to ₹5 crore per acre without a uniform rate across villages (The Realty Today, Dec 2025). It names no village in these three sub-divisions.

Check: the current rate for the village with the Sub-Registrar.

Units: acre, sq yd, sq m

Delhi papers and sale deeds use acres, sq yd, sq ft and sq m interchangeably. Convert from the revenue record before comparing two documents (1 acre = 4,840 sq yd = about 4,047 sq m). Colony plots are priced per sq yd; farmland per acre.

IANS reported on 7 April 2026 that 1,511 of 1,731 unplanned colonies were declared eligible for regularisation on an as-is, where-is basis without approved layout plans, with conveyance deeds or authorisation slips from the Revenue Department (IANS, Apr 2026). The 220 left out were on non-conforming land, in green zones or near monuments. Outlook Money reported that the SWAGAM portal began registration on 24 April 2026 (Outlook Money, Apr 2026). Which colonies in Kirari, Nangloi Jat and Rohini are on the list must be checked colony by colony. Regularising a colony deals with the houses in it; the reports do not extend it to agricultural land.

Agriculture & terrain

Soil, crops & water in North West Delhi

Delhi's northwest was once a wheat and paddy belt, but after the 2026 reorganisation what remains inside this district is a few farm pockets inside an urban sea. The farm belt is now next door in Outer North.

🌾 What farming remains

Delhi's net sown area fell from 34,034 hectares in 2000-01 to an estimated 22,300 hectares in 2018-19, wheat covered an estimated 19,671 hectares in 2017-18, and rural villages fell from 304 in 1951 to 112 in 2011 (Delhi Economic Survey 2018-19, agriculture chapter). The survey gives no district-wise crop figures, so we have none for the new North West district.

  • Wheat
  • Mustard
  • Fodder
  • Vegetables

🏘️ Urbanised villages and colonies

Village abadi land in Lal Dora and unauthorised colonies carry no sanctioned layout, and DDA's FAQs exclude both from land pooling (DDA FAQs on MPD-2047). Land class and layout status matter more than soil here.

  • Lal Dora
  • Colonies
  • Abadi
  • Sanctioned layouts

🌊 Drains and flood-prone ground

Low ground along city drains can flood in a heavy monsoon; the Yamuna crossed its danger mark of 205.33 m in Delhi in September 2025 (AIR News, Sep 2025). We found no flood map for the new boundary, so ask for a flood-level statement for any low-lying parcel.

  • Drains
  • Low ground
  • Monsoon flooding

💧 Water & rainfall

Rainfall figures are not quoted here because we found no district series. CGWB's 2024 assessment puts Delhi's stage of groundwater extraction at 100.77%, with 14 of 34 assessment units over-exploited, 13 critical, 2 semi-critical and 5 safe (CGWB, Delhi groundwater assessment 2024). Its district tables show sporadic nitrate above 45 mg/L, uranium above 30 ppb, fluoride above 1.5 mg/L and electrical conductivity above 3,000 µS/cm in North West Delhi (old district boundary). The report gives no block table in the part we could read, so check the latest category for the block and test borewell yield and quality.

📐 Measurement units & market prices

Convert every area to acres or sq m from the revenue record (1 acre = 4,840 sq yd = about 4,047 sq m). We quote no crop prices because we found no sourced district series.

Farmland India view

Why investors look at North West Delhi

Four honest points: this district is mainly for understanding the capital, not for buying farmland.

The reorganisation matters

Older articles and listings file Narela, Bawana and Alipur under North West. Knowing they now sit in Outer North helps avoid registering at the wrong office or reading the wrong rules.

Access, not farmland

Rohini sits on the UER-II alignment and Metro Phase 5 planning names Rohini and Nangloi. That supports house and colony plots, not agricultural land.

A regularisation window

PM-UDAY, whose SWAGAM portal opened on 24 April 2026, could settle titles in eligible colonies. It is a residential route, not a farmland one.

Better routes for farmland

For agricultural land inside Delhi, Outer North and South West are the districts to read. For clearer rules, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh NCR districts may fit better.

STRAIGHT TALK

Risks & challenges in North West Delhi

Read these before shortlisting in North West Delhi specifically.

Wrong district, wrong office

Narela, Bawana, Alipur, Kanjhawla and Tikri Kalan are in Outer North, not North West, in the December 2025 list, while the district office complex sits at Kanjhawala. Confirm the sub-division and Sub-Registrar before any deed.

"Agricultural land" that is really colony land

Plots sold as farmland in Rohini, Kirari or Nangloi Jat may be in colonies or abadi. A khatauni and DDA zone letter are the only proof of land class.

Section 81 and Section 33 limits

Using recorded agricultural land for a residence risks ejectment under Section 81 (see the August 2026 High Court ruling above), and a sale that leaves the seller with under eight standard acres is restricted by Section 33. Read the Act text and the holding size.

Colony regularisation is not conversion

PM-UDAY regularises existing structures in listed colonies. The reports do not extend it to agricultural land, and 220 colonies were left out.

Name confusion

Sultanpur Mazara (Kirari) is not Sultanpur (South Delhi), and Badli village (Rohini) is not Badli sub-division (North Delhi). Check the revenue village and sub-division.

Price opacity

We found no sourced price series here. The reported agricultural circle rate is ₹53 lakh per acre (Dec 2025 report). Do not budget stamp duty on a number you have not confirmed in writing.

Announced is not delivered

Business Today lists no Phase 5 corridors, and the MPD-2047 gazette copy was not available to us. Price what the law allows today.

Who to contact

Local revenue, planning & forest offices

Land-record and mutation matters go through the Sub-Divisional Magistrate and Tehsildar of the sub-division. The sub-divisional offices page lists Kirari and Nangloi Jat at the Delhi State Co-operative Bank Building, Main Rohtak Road, Nangloi, and Rohini at the DC Office Complex, Kanjhawala (Revenue Department sub-divisional offices page). Sale-deed registration is handled by the Sub-Registrar; the existing 22 sub-registrar offices were due to expand to 39 (The Week/PTI, Dec 2025), so confirm which office covers the village. The district portal gives the collectorate address as the DC Office Complex, Kanjhawala (North West district portal).

Zoning and land pooling sit with the Delhi Development Authority, and sanctioned colony layouts with the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. Fee schedules and procedures are on the Delhi Revenue Department registration page. Check the khatauni, mutation and encumbrance before paying any token amount.

Ready to explore North West Delhi farmland?

Browse reviewed projects and individual land parcels across North West Delhi — or if you own land here, list it with platform review and reach serious buyers.

Farmland India ("the Platform"), operated by Bulk Procure Private Limited, is a digital marketplace for listing agricultural land, farmhouse and plotted development projects. The Platform is not a real estate broker, agent or intermediary under RERA or any other applicable law, and does not act for either party to a transaction.

Listings are submitted by developers, owners and their authorised representatives. Before publication, the Platform carries out a documentary review of the material supplied and records what was sighted. That review is limited to the documents made available to us at that time. It is not a title investigation, not a legal opinion, and not a warranty of title, approvals, or the accuracy of any information supplied by a lister. The Trust Score is an internal assessment produced from that review and is intended as a research aid, not as a guarantee of outcome.

Every buyer must carry out independent due diligence before any transaction — including verification of land records, encumbrance searches, approvals and regulatory compliance — through their own advocate and chartered accountant. Any legal or advisory professional introduced through the Platform is engaged directly by the user, on that professional's own terms; the Platform does not employ, supervise or accept responsibility for their work.
