Aravalli — land purchase legal rules
Agricultural land in Gujarat can generally be bought only by an agriculturist, and farmer status is checked before a sale entry is certified. The other main checks are tenure (old or new), NA permission, the fragmentation limit and whether the area is notified under the Disturbed Areas Act.
Who can buy agricultural land? Section 63 of the Gujarat Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948 is headed “Transfers to non-agriculturist barred”, and section 2(2) defines an agriculturist as a person who cultivates land personally. A commentary on the Supreme Court appeal Vinodchandra Sakarlal Kapadia v State of Gujarat (Civil Appeal 2573 of 2020) reports that the Gujarat High Court read section 63 to bar a transfer by an agriculturist to a non-agriculturist without the Collector’s permission, including by will (Mondaq, April 2021). Farmer status is checked from revenue records back to a cut-off of 6 April 1995, under Revenue Department circulars of 13 September 2024, and a self-declaration form goes with a sale entry or an NA application (SCC Online, September 2024). We read section 63 through these summaries, not its full text; confirm with a Gujarat revenue lawyer.
Will non-farmers be allowed to buy? A committee chaired by C. L. Meena studied the tenancy laws and its suggestions on non-farmer purchase were being assessed in November 2024, with no decision announced (Gujarat Samachar, November 2024; Gujarat Samachar, November 2024). We found no enacted change by October 2026, so the section 63 rule above is the one to plan on.
Ceiling limits: the Gujarat Agricultural Lands Ceiling Act, 1960 (Gujarat Act 27 of 1961, amendments compiled by PRS Legislative Research) bars a person from holding land above the ceiling area. Land of a spouse and minor children is grouped with the holder, a family of more than five may hold one-fifth of the ceiling area for each extra member up to twice the ceiling, and each major son counts as a separate person; in desert, hill and drought-prone areas the dry-crop ceiling is raised by 12.5% but cannot pass 21.85 hectares (54 acres). These points come from a legal-database copy of the Act that we do not link, because the India Code page did not open here; the class-wise acreage in Schedule I was not in the text we read, so we show no per-class figure.
Tenure, premium and NA permission: section 43 of the Tenancy Act is headed “Restriction on transfers of land purchased or sold under this Act”, which is the basis of what the press calls new tenure land, and the Collector’s office grants permission and collects a premium under it (Surat Collectorate). A government notification of 8 February 2024 lets a tenant who has farmed land for more than 15 years move it from new tenure to old tenure without a conversion fee, but the premium for NA use is still payable (LiveLaw, April 2025). NA (non-agricultural) permission is granted under section 65 of the Gujarat Land Revenue Code, 1879, and is deemed granted if the Collector does not decide within three months (same source); applications have been online since a December 2018 circular (SCC Online, September 2024). Press reports put the NA premium at about 35 to 40 per cent of land value (Gujarat Samachar, March 2024); we found no official schedule. The 2008 resolution on NA procedure also lists distance limits from railways, airports and Air Force installations (900 m) and from the sea high-tide line (500 m) (Revenue Department resolution, July 2008), which later circulars may have changed.
Fragmentation (tukda) limit: the Assembly passed the Gujarat Prevention of Fragmentation and Consolidation of Holdings (Amendment) Bill on 11 September 2026. As reported, it sets a uniform standard area of 10 gunthas (1,012 sq m) for rural land under a new section 5(4), leaves out municipal and urban development authority areas, and regularises violations from 1948 to 31 March 2026 without penalty; before this, buyers paid 10% of jantri value (DeshGujarat, September 2026). We did not see the Act text or any filing deadline.
Industrial and institutional exceptions: sections 63AA and 63AAA allow land bought for industrial, education or health use to be resold on payment of a share of jantri value that falls with the holding period, from 100% at three to five years to 25% beyond ten years (Gujarat Bill 23 of 2020, PRS Legislative Research). We have the Bill, not the enacted Act. A charity that bought in breach before 30 June 2015 may apply for conversion within a period the State notifies (Gujarat Bill 1 of 2024, PRS Legislative Research).
Disturbed Areas Act, 1991: where the State has notified an area under section 3, a transfer of land or buildings there needs the Collector’s prior sanction after an inquiry into free consent and fair value, and a transfer without it is void under section 5; contravention carries imprisonment of three to five years under section 6D (Gujarat Act 12 of 1991, PRS Legislative Research). A 2026 amendment renames these “specified areas”, adds a Monitoring and Advisory Committee and extends the Collector’s checks (Bill 18 of 2026; DeshGujarat, March 2026); the government notified the amendment in July 2026, with the effective date to be notified separately (DeshGujarat, July 2026). As a due-diligence step, ask the Collector or Sub-Registrar whether the survey number lies in a notified area; we hold no list of notified areas.
Land Grabbing Act, 2020 and tribal land: the Gujarat Land Grabbing (Prohibition) Act, 2020 works through district committees, and in December 2024 a Gujarat High Court bench issued guidelines for those committees (LiveLaw, December 2024). Land held by Scheduled Tribe occupants is separately restricted under section 73AA of the Land Revenue Code, which the 2020 Bill cross-refers to (PRS Legislative Research); we did not open the Code, so check the occupant’s status in the 7/12.
NRI & OCI buyers: regulation 3 of the Foreign Exchange Management (Acquisition and Transfer of Immovable Property in India) Regulations, 2018 lets NRIs and OCIs buy land other than agricultural land, a farm house or plantation property (Reserve Bank of India, 2018 regulations). Residential and commercial land is open to them. The same section 63 rule applies to a resident non-farmer.

- Fragmentation: 10 gunthas

Aravalli — district-specific notes
The Gujarat state page applies to Aravalli in full. The notes below are specific to this district and are not repeated from it. Law was read from a Supreme Court order, Act copies and news; Gujarat Government portals, including the Aravalli district portal, refused automated fetches, so no district notification was read.
⚠ The district shares its name with the hill range, so ask whether a parcel lies on or beside a hill. On 29 December 2025 the Supreme Court kept in abeyance the findings of its 20 November 2025 judgment on how Aravalli hills are defined, and said no mining permission may be granted in the Aravalli Hills and Ranges, as defined in the Forest Survey of India report of 25 August 2010, without the Court's prior permission (Supreme Court, In Re: Definition of Aravalli Hills and Ranges, 29 Dec 2025). As we read the order it concerns the definition and mining, not the sale of farmland, and we saw no later order. Protests against the November ruling were reported in Gujarat's Vijaynagar area in December 2025 (ETV Bharat, December 2025). Ask for the survey number's hill and forest status in writing.
⚠ Meghraj, Malpur and Bhiloda are described as mainly tribal talukas (Gujarat Government NRI portal). Section 73AA of the Gujarat Land Revenue Code restricts the transfer of Scheduled Tribe land; we saw it only as a cross-reference in Gujarat Bill 23 of 2020, not its text. Ask the Mamlatdar whether the holder is a tribal and whether Collector permission applies before paying a deposit.
⚠ For everyone else, section 63 of the Gujarat Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948 is headed "Transfers to non-agriculturist barred", and Revenue Department circulars of 13 September 2024 check farmer status back to 6 April 1995 (SCC Online, September 2024). A proposal to let non-farmers buy was under review in November 2024 (Gujarat Samachar, November 2024), and we found nothing enacted by October 2026.
⚠ The Ceiling Act raises the dry-crop ceiling by 12.5%, capped at 21.85 ha (54 acres), in desert, hill and drought-prone areas (Gujarat Agricultural Lands Ceiling Act, 1960 (PRS copy)). We could not source whether a given Aravalli village falls in such an area, and we did not obtain the class-wise Schedule I, so we show no acreage; a buyer assembling a large holding should check the family's total.
⚠ The Disturbed Areas Act, 1991 lets the Collector's prior sanction govern transfers in notified areas (Act text, PRS copy), and a 2026 amendment renames them "specified areas" (DeshGujarat, July 2026). We obtained no list of notified areas, so ask the Collector or Sub-Registrar whether a survey number is in one.

District overview
Aravalli — a hill-edge cotton and wheat district carved out of Sabarkantha
Aravalli was created on 15 August 2013 as Gujarat's 29th district, carved out of Sabarkantha, with Modasa as headquarters (Gujarat Government NRI portal). It has six talukas, about 3,232 sq km (NABARD district plan, 2023-24) and 10,39,918 people according to the Central Ground Water Board's aquifer report (CGWB, 2022). The state portal calls Meghraj, Malpur and Bhiloda mainly tribal and lists Shamlaji among the district's spiritual centres.
Aravalli is farmland first. NABARD's district plan calls it primarily agricultural, with cotton and wheat predominant, and records 179,300 ha net irrigated and drip and sprinkler use among the highest in the state (NABARD, 2023-24). The ICAR-CRIDA contingency plan puts 2011-12 wheat at 82,630 ha, cotton at 54,750 ha and maize at 40,980 ha (ICAR-CRIDA Aravalli plan). The CGWB report classes the district as Safe, at a 57.41% stage of groundwater development (CGWB, 2022).
We publish no per-acre price band for Aravalli. Gujarat doubled its jantri rates from 15 April 2023 (DeshGujarat, February 2023), and we obtained no district or village schedule. The two live questions are legal: how the Supreme Court's Aravalli order develops, and the tribal-land check in three talukas. Rail work around Shamlaji and Modasa was reported in September 2026 (DeshGujarat headline, September 2026, article not opened).

Jantri rates from 15 April 2023
as reported; first revision in about 12 years
The Comptroller and Auditor General's audit of the year ended 31 March 2018 says stamp duty on a conveyance deed is 4.9 per cent of the greater of consideration and market value, and that registration fees are levied on the consideration without giving a rate for conveyances (CAG Report 3 of 2019, chapter 4). A 2025 amendment Bill to the Gujarat Stamp Act shows no change to the land conveyance rate in its summary, but we have not seen the enacted schedule (Gujarat Bill 10 of 2025, PRS Legislative Research). Jantri rates were doubled from 15 April 2023, the first revision in about 12 years, as reported (DeshGujarat, February 2023). Registration runs on the gARVI 2.0 system in 294 Sub-Registrar offices statewide (Inspector General of Registration summary; CMO Gujarat, January 2023); we found no taluka-wise office list for Aravalli, and the gARVI portal did not open. Ask the Sub-Registrar for the duty and fee on your parcel.
Know the belt
What is moving prices in Aravalli
Two kinds of official reference, both partial: state-wide jantri news and rail headlines. No listing-site prices are used.
Jantri: no Aravalli schedule
Doubled from 15 Apr 2023 (reported)
DeshGujarat reported in February 2023 that jantri rates would double from 15 April 2023 after about 12 years (DeshGujarat, February 2023). The Secretariat reported in November 2024 that a revision of minimum rates for agricultural land was being drafted (The Secretariat, November 2024). Neither gives an Aravalli figure.
Check: the jantri for your survey number on the gARVI portal, which did not open for us.
Rail work near Shamlaji and Modasa
Work reported Sep 2026; no cost or date sourced
A DeshGujarat headline of September 2026 reports train cancellations and regulation because of Shamlaji and New Modasa rail line work (DeshGujarat, September 2026), and an October 2008 headline reported a 22 km Modasa–Shamlaji line approved (DeshGujarat, October 2008); we could not open either article. Separately, 227 of 297 route km of the Ahmedabad–Udaipur line were electrified by July 2024 (Lok Sabha reply, July 2024).
Check: the alignment against your survey number, and whether acquisition notices exist.
Land under power lines
Statewide: twice market value from July 2026 (reported)
The Gujarat Government revised compensation for land used for transmission towers on 3 July 2026, setting it at twice the prevailing market value, with full payment before work begins and a market-rate committee including the Collector (National Herald, July 2026; Deccan Herald, July 2026). Neither report names Aravalli.
Check: whether a line or tower already crosses the parcel before agreeing a price.
Asking prices
No sourced price series
Listing prices for Aravalli could not be traced to registered deals, so none are shown. A jantri rate is a registration floor, not what a seller will accept.
Check: registered deeds in the same village before negotiating.
Units: guntha, acre, vigha
Gujarat land is measured in gunthas. The September 2026 amendment puts 10 gunthas at 1,012 sq m (DeshGujarat, September 2026), so 1 guntha is about 101 sq m or 1,089 sq ft, and 40 gunthas make an acre. The vigha varies by region and we found no official conversion for Aravalli, so ask which vigha a listing uses and compare parcels in gunthas.
Connectivity
How Aravalli connects — road, rail and air
No distance to Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar or an airport is given because no official or news source was found. Journey times vary with traffic and road works.
By road
By air
By rail
The practical question is the last leg from the highway to the parcel; ask for the access road in the revenue record. NABARD's district plan gives the road length (NABARD, 2023-24). Rules for buyers from outside the state are on the Gujarat state page.

Agriculture & terrain
Soil, crops & water in Aravalli
Crop data are for 2011-12 and the NABARD plan uses banking data to March 2022; the groundwater classification is from the 2022 CGWB report.
🌾 Cotton and wheat plains (Modasa, Bayad, Dhansura)
NABARD's district plan says cotton and wheat are the predominant crops, with oilseeds, maize, potato, jowar, bajra, pulses, groundnut and castor also grown, and names Bayad and Dhansura as seed-growing blocks (NABARD, 2023-24). The ICAR-CRIDA plan gives 2011-12 areas of wheat 82,630 ha, cotton 54,750 ha, maize 40,980 ha, groundnut 36,930 ha and castor 22,660 ha (ICAR-CRIDA Aravalli plan). Pomegranate, papaya, citrus and dragon fruit are the main horticulture crops.
- Cotton
- Wheat
- Maize
- Groundnut
- Castor
⛰️ Hills, forest and tribal belt (Meghraj, Malpur, Bhiloda)
NABARD records 50,000 ha of forest land and soils of hard rock, sandstone and alluvium, in agro-climatic zone 13 (NABARD, 2023-24). ICAR places the district in the Northern Plain zone including the Aravallis (ICAR-CRIDA Aravalli plan). The state portal calls Meghraj, Malpur and Bhiloda mainly tribal (Gujarat Government NRI portal). Legal status matters more than soil here.
- Forest land
- Hard rock
- Tribal talukas
💧 Groundwater and irrigation
The CGWB report gives an annual extractable resource of 635.62 million cubic metres and a stage of extraction of 57.41%, Safe, with every taluka Safe, from 50.73% in Malpur to 62.96% in Bhiloda (CGWB, 2022). NABARD records 179,300 ha net irrigated, but flags low groundwater availability and names Modasa and Meghraj among its stressed blocks (NABARD, 2023-24). Check borewell yield on any parcel.
- Safe (GWRE-2017)
- Micro-irrigation
💧 Water & rainfall
The ICAR-CRIDA plan gives normal annual rainfall of 575 mm over 25.3 rainy days (ICAR-CRIDA Aravalli plan). It lists the district as rainfed on 103,470 ha and irrigated on 226,790 ha (gross), data that are more than a decade old. We found no reservoir or canal source for the district that we could cite.
📐 Measurement units & mandi prices
Gujarat land units: 1 guntha is about 101 sq m or 1,089 sq ft and 40 gunthas make an acre; the vigha varies by region. Convert every quote to gunthas or acres before comparing two offers. Mandi prices are on Agmarknet (not opened for this page); price a parcel on its location and permitted use, not on crop yield.

*Jantri rates are registration floors, not market prices, and we obtained no district schedule. See the Sabarkantha page, the district Aravalli was carved from in 2013, and the Mehsana page; ICAR lists both in the same North Gujarat agro-climatic zone.
Farmland India view
Why investors look at Aravalli
Five reasoned points, with an honest note that the price evidence is thin and the legal questions are live.
Irrigated cotton and wheat land
NABARD records 179,300 ha net irrigated out of 209,100 ha net sown, with drip and sprinkler widely installed. Irrigated land holds its use value, though the crop data are dated.
Groundwater classed Safe in every taluka
The CGWB report gives a 57.41% stage under the 2017 method. NABARD still flags low availability in Modasa and Meghraj, so ask for the current block status.
Rail work around Shamlaji and Modasa
A September 2026 headline reports rail line work, and the Ahmedabad–Udaipur line was part-electrified by July 2024. We have no cost or date, so this desk reads it as optionality.
A hill and heritage setting
The state portal lists Shamlaji among the district's spiritual centres and mentions Buddhist relics. We found no visitor numbers or land-use plan, so it supports interest, not a price.
A market that rewards paperwork
The Supreme Court's Aravalli order, the tribal-land check in three talukas and farmer status are all parcel-specific. A buyer who documents each one is better placed than one relying on a broker summary.
Confirm hill and forest status, tribal-land rules, farmer status and NA directly; these are not certified by Farmland India’s review.
STRAIGHT TALK
Risks & challenges in Aravalli
Read these before shortlisting in Aravalli specifically.
Supreme Court Aravalli order
The December 2025 order keeps the November 2025 findings in abeyance and bars mining permission without the Court's leave. Ask for hill and forest status in writing and watch for later orders.
Tribal land in three talukas
Meghraj, Malpur and Bhiloda are mainly tribal. Section 73AA restricts transfer of Scheduled Tribe land; we saw only a cross-reference to it, not its text.
Farmer-status rule
Section 63 bars transfers to non-agriculturists, and farmer status is checked back to 6 April 1995. A non-farmer buyer should not assume the proposal under review in 2024 has become law.
NA permission and premium
NA permission is deemed granted if the Collector does not decide in three months, but a premium applies; press reports put it at about 35 to 40 per cent of land value (Gujarat Samachar, March 2024), and we found no official schedule.
Groundwater and dated data
NABARD flags low groundwater availability and names Modasa and Meghraj as stressed blocks, while CGWB classes every taluka Safe. Crop areas are from 2011-12.
Announced is not delivered
The Shamlaji–New Modasa line has a 2008 approval headline and a 2026 work headline, with no cost or date we could read. The Udaipur line electrification had 70 km still to do in July 2024.
No sourced price series
We use no listing-site prices for Aravalli and have no district jantri schedule. Collect registered comparables before negotiating.
Who to contact
Local revenue & planning offices
Sale deeds are registered by the Sub-Registrar, and registration runs on the gARVI 2.0 system (Inspector General of Registration summary). Revenue-record and mutation matters go through the Mamlatdar of the relevant taluka (Bayad, Bhiloda, Dhansura, Malpur, Meghraj, Modasa) and, where the taluka falls under one, the Prant (sub-division) officer; NABARD's plan lists two sub-divisions (NABARD, 2023-24). Farmer-status and tenure permissions go to the District Collector, Aravalli, at Modasa, as the Surat Collectorate's tenancy page describes for its own district (Surat Collectorate). Hill or forest status is a question for the Forest Department. Records are on AnyROR and the district office is on the Aravalli district portal. The portal, AnyROR and gARVI did not open for us and we found no taluka-wise office list, so check each directly.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Everything buyers, NRIs and investors ask before their first reviewed farmland purchase in Aravalli.
Visit full wiki01 of 04
What does agricultural land cost in Aravalli?
We publish no per-acre band for Aravalli because listing-site prices could not be traced to registered deals and we obtained no district jantri schedule. Gujarat doubled its jantri rates from 15 April 2023, as DeshGujarat reported in February 2023. Jantri is a registration floor, not a market price.
02 of 04
Does the Supreme Court's Aravalli order stop land purchases in Aravalli district?
As we read the order of 29 December 2025, it keeps the November 2025 findings on how Aravalli hills are defined in abeyance and bars mining permission in the Aravalli Hills and Ranges without the Court's leave; it is not a ruling on land sales. We found no later order, so ask for the survey number's hill and forest status in writing.
03 of 04
Who can buy agricultural land in Aravalli, and what duty applies?
Section 63 of the Gujarat Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948 bars transfers to non-agriculturists, and Meghraj, Malpur and Bhiloda are mainly tribal talukas where section 73AA on Scheduled Tribe land needs checking. The Comptroller and Auditor General's audit of 2017-18 puts stamp duty on a conveyance at 4.9 per cent (CAG Report 3 of 2019); we found no registration fee rate.
04 of 04
Which infrastructure affects Aravalli?
A September 2026 headline reports Shamlaji and New Modasa rail line work, and a Lok Sabha reply of 31 July 2024 said 227 of 297 route km of the Udaipur-Ahmedabad line were electrified. We could not open the article, and found no cost or completion date for the Shamlaji line.
