Junagadh — 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.

Junagadh — district-specific notes
The Gujarat state page applies to Junagadh in full. The notes below are specific to this district and are not repeated from the state page. Law was read from Act texts on India Code and PRS and from press reports on the Gir eco-sensitive zone; the Revenue Department home page, AnyROR and gARVI did not open for us, so where a note rests on press or commentary it says so.
⚠ A draft eco-sensitive zone around the Gir protected area covers parts of this district. The Union Government issued the draft notification at the state's request in September 2024: about 1.84 lakh hectares (24,680 hectares of forest and 1,59,785 hectares of non-forest land), 196 villages across Junagadh, Amreli and Gir Somnath, a width of 2.78 km to 9.5 km from the sanctuary boundary against 10 km today, with 17 river corridors and 4 lion movement corridors (Deccan Herald, September 2024). All India Radio reported the same day that the Centre had "declared" the zone (AIR News, September 2024). Neither report lists restrictions, and we did not read the Gazette, so ask the Forest Department whether the village and survey number fall inside the final zone.
⚠ Land near the coast and near the airport can carry distance conditions. The Revenue Department's resolution of 1 July 2008 lists 500 m from the sea high-tide line and 900 m from railways, airports and Air Force installations for non-agricultural permission (Revenue Department GR, 1 Jul 2008); it may have been superseded. The district portal places Junagadh on the Arabian Sea (Junagadh district portal), and the Airports Authority has acquired about 83 hectares for the Keshod airport expansion (FreshPlaza, November 2025). We found no Junagadh-specific coastal or border purchase rule and no Coastal Regulation Zone map.
⚠ The state-wide tests still decide who can buy. Section 63 of the Gujarat Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948 bars transfer to a non-agriculturist, and the Act defines an agriculturist as a person who cultivates land personally (India Code). Farmer status is checked back to 6 April 1995 under circulars of 13 September 2024 (SCC Online, September 2024). The rural fragmentation limit was reported as 10 gunthas in an amendment passed on 11 September 2026 (DeshGujarat, September 2026); we have not seen the Act text.
⚠ Ask also whether the survey number lies in an area notified under the Disturbed Areas Act, 1991 (Act text, PRS copy). We obtained no list of notified areas, and a 2026 amendment renames the category "specified area" (DeshGujarat, July 2026).

District overview
Junagadh — Girnar and Gir country with a coast and an airport upgrade
Junagadh is a Saurashtra district with 10 talukas and five revenue sub-divisions, bordered by the Arabian Sea and forest land, and known for the Gir sanctuary, the only home of Asiatic lions, and the Girnar hills (Junagadh district portal, October 2026). The portal pages we opened do not state its area or population, so we give none for today's district. An older CGWB brochure lists 8,848 sq km and 27,43,082 people for a 14-taluka district (CGWB brochure, March 2014), which is not comparable.
We publish no per-acre price band for Junagadh. No district or village jantri schedule opened for us, and listing-site asking prices could not be traced to registered deals. The only state-wide reference is the report that jantri rates were doubled from 15 April 2023 (DeshGujarat, February 2023); a revised draft was still pending in November 2024 (The Secretariat, November 2024).
Farming is groundnut and wheat on black soil. ICAR-CRIDA gives groundnut on 423,000 hectares and wheat on 188,100 for the older district in 2008-09 (ICAR-CRIDA Junagadh plan), and CGWB records that borewells supply 56.0% and open wells 37.4% of irrigated area (CGWB brochure). The coast is saline in places, and the legal question for many parcels near Gir is the draft eco-sensitive zone, not the crop.

The Comptroller and Auditor General's audit for the year ended 31 March 2018 states stamp duty on a conveyance deed at 4.9 per cent of the greater of consideration and market value, and gives no registration-fee rate for conveyances (CAG Report 3 of 2019). Jantri rates were reported doubled from 15 April 2023 (DeshGujarat, February 2023), and the Registration Department's summary says deeds are registered online through gARVI 2.0 in 294 Sub-Registrar offices (Registration System of Gujarat, IGR summary). We could not open the registration portal, and no Junagadh jantri schedule opened, so ask the Sub-Registrar for the duty, fee and jantri on your parcel.

What is moving land prices in Junagadh
State-level references only: no district jantri schedule opened and no listing-site prices are used.
Jantri: state-level only
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). A revised draft for agricultural land was pending in November 2024 (The Secretariat, November 2024). We have no Junagadh village figures.
Check: the jantri for the village and survey number on the sale-deed date.
Gir fringe villages
Draft eco-sensitive zone, about 1.84 lakh ha
The September 2024 draft covers 196 villages in three districts and narrows the buffer to 2.78–9.5 km from the sanctuary boundary (Deccan Herald, September 2024). No price effect is sourced.
Check: whether the village is in the final zone, and what the zone allows.
Keshod airport area
Airport expansion targeted mid-2027
The Airports Authority plans a longer runway and a new terminal at Keshod and has acquired about 83 hectares (FreshPlaza, November 2025). The report gives no land price.
Check: the survey number against the acquisition and the airport distance limits.
Asking prices
No sourced price series
Listing-site asking prices for Junagadh could not be traced to registered deals, so none are shown. Jantri is a registration floor, not what a seller will accept.
Check: registered sale deeds in the same revenue village before negotiating.
Units: guntha and vigha
Gujarat land is measured in gunthas: 10 gunthas is 1,012 sq m, so a guntha is about 101 sq m or 1,089 sq ft, and 40 gunthas make an acre (DeshGujarat, September 2026 for the 10-guntha figure). The vigha varies by region and we found no official conversion, so convert every quote to gunthas or acres and check the 7/12 extract for the area actually being sold.
Connectivity
How Junagadh connects — road, rail and air
Distances to Rajkot, Ahmedabad and Mumbai are not given because no official or news source was found. Journey times vary with traffic and road works.

Agriculture & terrain
Soil, crops & water in Junagadh
Black-soil groundnut and wheat country irrigated mostly from borewells and open wells, with a saline coastal edge and the Gir forest fringe.
🌾 Black-soil groundnut and wheat plains
The ICAR-CRIDA plan (older 14-taluka district, crop data 2008-09) gives medium to shallow black soils on 70% of the area, mixed red-black soils on 15% and coastal alluvial soils on 14%, with groundnut on 423,000 hectares, wheat 188,100, cotton 42,500, pulses 15,000, sugarcane 14,900 and pearl millet 12,900, from a net sown area of 535,000 hectares and a cropping intensity of 128% (ICAR-CRIDA Junagadh plan). For Junagadh taluka in 2015-16 CGWB lists 23,500 hectares of kharif crops led by groundnut (19,950) and cotton (9,210), and 7,125 hectares of rabi led by wheat (1,050) and vegetables (775) (CGWB aquifer report, Junagadh taluka (draft)).
- Groundnut
- Wheat
- Cotton
- Sugarcane
🌊 Coastal belt and salinity
CGWB describes ground water as potable at district level but more saline on the coast, with sea-water ingress; shallow-aquifer TDS in May 2012 ranged from 418 to 6,687 mg/l and chloride exceeded 1,000 mg/l at 11 monitoring stations (CGWB brochure, March 2014). Low-lying "Ghed" areas have alluvial and brackish soils. Ask for a water test on any parcel near the coast.
- Coastal alluvium
- Ghed
- Sea-water ingress
🦁 Gir fringe and mango
The Gir buffer is the legal issue for villages near the sanctuary (see the district notes above). Gujarat's Kesar mango carries a geographical indication and the state had 177,514 hectares under mango (ThePrint, July 2024); the Keshod cargo plan is aimed at Kesar exports (FreshPlaza, November 2025).

💧 Water & rainfall
Normal annual rainfall is about 900 mm in both the CGWB brochure and the ICAR-CRIDA plan; the IMD Veraval station recorded 777.5 mm in the climatological table CGWB used. For the older district CGWB puts groundwater development at 61.54% (resources of 2011), "safe" in every taluka, with pre-monsoon depth to water of 2 to 20 m in May 2013; borewells supply 56.0% of irrigated area, open wells 37.4% and canals and tanks 6.1% (CGWB brochure). For Junagadh taluka CGWB gives 66.13% in 2013, "safe", and pre-monsoon depths of 14.41 to 52.75 m in May 2015 (CGWB aquifer report (draft)). Across Gujarat, CGWB puts 2024 extraction at 54.21% and gives no district-wise stage (CGWB, Gujarat 2024). The SAUNI report we read does not mention Junagadh (MoJS SAUNI report). Check borewell depth and yield on the parcel.
📐 Measurement units
Gujarat land units: guntha about 1,089 sq ft (101 sq m); 40 gunthas = 1 acre; vigha varies by region. Convert every quote to gunthas or acres before comparing two offers. Live mandi prices are on Agmarknet, which we did not open for this page; crop income is modest next to land values near towns and tourist routes, so price a parcel on location, permitted use and water, not on groundnut yield.

Farmland India view
Why investors look at Junagadh
Five reasoned points, with an honest note that price evidence is thin and the Gir zone is still unsettled.
Tourism and pilgrimage anchors
Gir and Girnar bring visitors to Junagadh, and the 2.3 km Girnar ropeway has run since October 2020. Visitor demand supports town-edge land more than it supports crop land.
An airport that is being rebuilt
Keshod airport is planned to get a 2,500 m runway and an 800-passenger terminal by mid-2027, with a mango cargo facility. That is a plan with land already acquired, but the timetable is the Airports Authority's own.
A buffer zone that cuts both ways
The draft Gir zone narrows the buffer from 10 km to 2.78–9.5 km, which may free some villages and bind others. Until the final village list is read, price fringe land with that risk.
A farmer-status market
Section 63 limits who may buy farmland, so the buyer pool is smaller than the number of listings suggests. A farmer buyer, or a buyer using an exception, moves faster.
No price evidence to lean on
We found no sourced price series and no district jantri schedule. This desk treats any per-acre claim without a registered deed as an opinion.
Confirm farmer status, NA permission, zone status and jantri directly; these are not certified by Farmland India’s review.
STRAIGHT TALK
Risks & challenges in Junagadh
Read these before shortlisting in Junagadh specifically.
Gir eco-sensitive zone
The September 2024 draft covers 196 villages in three districts and the reports disagree on its status. Ask the Forest Department for the final text and village list.
Farmer-status rule
Section 63 of the Tenancy Act bars transfer to a non-agriculturist, and farmer status is checked back to 6 April 1995. A proposal to let non-farmers buy was under review in November 2024 and we found nothing enacted.
Coastal salinity
CGWB reports sea-water ingress and TDS up to 6,687 mg/l in shallow aquifers on the coast. Ask for a water test.
Coastal and airport distance limits
The 2008 resolution lists 500 m from the high-tide line and 900 m from airports; it may be superseded. Ask the Collector in writing.
Fragmentation limit
The rural standard area was reported as 10 gunthas (1,012 sq m) in an amendment passed on 11 September 2026; we have not seen the Act text. Check that the area sold is not a fragment.
Announced is not delivered
The Keshod expansion targets mid-2027 and the cargo model was undecided in November 2025. Price on today's fundamentals.
No sourced price series
We use no listing-site prices for Junagadh, and no district jantri schedule opened. Collect registered comparables before negotiating.
Who to contact
Local revenue, planning & forest offices
Mutation and revenue-record matters go through the Mamlatdar of the relevant taluka. The Junagadh district portal lists five sub-divisions, each with its Prant (Deputy Collector) office: Junagadh (Junagadh City, Junagadh Rural), Vanthali (Vanthali, Manavadar), Keshod (Keshod, Mangrol), Visavadar (Visavadar, Bhesan) and Mendarda (Mendarda, Maliya Hatina); the Collector and District Magistrate heads the district office (portal home). Non-agricultural permission and new-tenure questions go to the Collector, sale-deed registration to the local Sub-Registrar, and Gir zone questions to the Forest Department. Records are on AnyROR and deeds are registered through gARVI; the Revenue Department's 2008 resolution on non-agricultural permission is here. We could not open AnyROR, gARVI or the Revenue Department home page, so check the offices directly.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Everything buyers, NRIs and investors ask before their first reviewed farmland purchase in Junagadh.
Visit full wiki01 of 04
What does agricultural land cost in Junagadh?
We publish no per-acre band for Junagadh because no district jantri schedule opened for us and listing-site asking prices could not be traced to registered deals. The only state-wide reference is the report that jantri rates were doubled from 15 April 2023 (DeshGujarat, February 2023). Jantri is a registration floor, not a market price, so collect registered sale deeds from the same village.
02 of 04
Who can buy agricultural land in Junagadh?
Section 63 of the Gujarat Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948 bars transfer to a non-agriculturist, and an agriculturist is a person who cultivates land personally (India Code). Farmer status is checked back to 6 April 1995 under circulars of 13 September 2024 (SCC Online, September 2024). We found no enacted change by October 2026.
03 of 04
Does the Gir eco-sensitive zone affect land in Junagadh?
A September 2024 draft covers about 1.84 lakh hectares and 196 villages across Junagadh, Amreli and Gir Somnath, with a buffer of 2.78 to 9.5 km from the sanctuary boundary (Deccan Herald, September 2024). Reports differ on whether it is draft or declared and list no restrictions, so ask the Forest Department whether your village and survey number are inside it.
04 of 04
Which infrastructure affects Junagadh?
Keshod airport is to get a 2,500 m runway, an 800-passenger terminal and a mango cargo facility, with completion expected by mid-2027 (FreshPlaza, November 2025). The 2.3 km Girnar ropeway opened in October 2020 (Travel Trends Today). We found no highway or rail project for the district in the sources read.
