Narmada — 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.

Narmada — district-specific notes
The Gujarat state page applies to Narmada in full. The notes below are specific to this district and are not repeated from the state page. Several official Gujarat pages (AnyROR, gARVI, the Revenue Department home page) refused our automated fetch, so statute text was read from India Code and PRS PDFs, court reports and news, and each note says where it rests on commentary only.
⚠ Narmada is described by Gujarat Tourism as largely tribal (Gujarat Tourism, Narmada), and the Tenancy Act itself refers to "Scheduled areas" under the Fifth Schedule (ss. 2(2C) and 10A(3)(a)) and to section 73AA of the Land Revenue Code (s. 4B) (Gujarat Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, India Code). Section 73AA is the provision usually cited for restrictions on transfers of tribal land; we did not open its text, and Bill 23 of 2020 carries it only as a cross-reference (Bill 23 of 2020, PRS). We found no list of Scheduled-area villages in Narmada. Before paying a deposit, ask the Collector or Mamlatdar in writing whether the seller's land is tribal-holder land or lies in a Scheduled area, and whether permission is needed.
⚠ The land around Kevadia has been litigated. In July 2019 the Gujarat High Court ordered status quo on acquisition for tourism projects near the Statue of Unity and told the state not to evict Adivasis from six villages (Kevadiya, Vagadiya, Navagam, Limbdi, Kothi and Gora) until further orders (Scroll, July 2019). We found no later outcome. For any parcel in or near those villages, ask for the current acquisition notices and any order in the case.
⚠ Shoolpaneshwar sanctuary, about 608 sq km, is listed among places to visit in Narmada, but Gujarat Tourism's own sanctuary page gives the district as Bharuch (Gujarat Tourism, Shoolpaneshwar). We found no eco-sensitive-zone notification or village list, so ask the Forest Department whether a survey number is inside the sanctuary or any buffer before buying near it.
⚠ Outside those special areas the state-wide rules apply. Section 63 bars transfers to a non-agriculturist (India Code, headings and s. 2(2); operative text via LiveLaw, April 2025), NA permission falls under section 65 of the Land Revenue Code with a reported premium of about 35% to 40% (Gujarat Samachar, March 2024), and the fragmentation limit was reported as 10 gunthas after the 11 September 2026 amendment (DeshGujarat, September 2026).
⚠ The Disturbed Areas Act needs the Collector's prior sanction for a transfer inside a notified area (Act text, PRS; DeshGujarat, July 2026). We obtained no list of notified areas and nothing specific to Narmada, so ask whether the survey number is in one.

District overview
Narmada — a tribal and tourism district around the Statue of Unity
Narmada district, with its headquarters at Rajpipla, was created in 1997 (the Gujarat Tourism page and the district portal both say so). Nandod, Dediyapada and Sagbara were carved from Bharuch and Tilakwada from Vadodara, and Garudeshwar was formed as a taluka on 18 February 2014 (Narmada district portal, October 2026). The portal's about page lists six talukas including Chikda and counts 614 villages against 562 on the overview page (portal, about page); The Week reported in September 2025 that Narmada gained one new taluka among 17 statewide but did not name it (PTI via The Week, September 2025). We therefore flag the taluka list as unconfirmed. Population is 5,90,279 at Census 2011 on the portal; the CGWB booklet gives 2,755 sq km (CGWB Narmada booklet, March 2014).
The district is defined by the Narmada and Karjan rivers and by the Sardar Sarovar Project, the Karjan irrigation project and the Kakadi Amba and Chopadvav schemes, all named on the portal (Narmada district portal). The Statue of Unity at Kevadia stands 182 m high near the Sardar Sarovar dam, with a valley of flowers, a cactus garden, a jungle safari and boating among its listed attractions (Gujarat Tourism, Statue of Unity). On 30 October 2025 All India Radio reported that a tribal university at Rajpipla and the first phase of a hospitality district at Garudeshwar were inaugurated, and a museum was given a foundation stone (AIR News, October 2025).
We publish no per-vigha or per-acre band for Narmada. No registered-deal series, district jantri schedule, or acquisition compensation figure was found, and no listing-site price is used. The CGWB booklet records a net sown area of 65,757 ha of which 8,046 ha is irrigated, almost all of it by groundwater (CGWB Narmada booklet); most of the district's value therefore rests on tourism, legal status and location, not crop income.

Transaction costs
Stamp duty & registration in Narmada
4.9%
Stamp duty on conveyance (audit year 2017-18)
rate recorded by the CAG for the year ended 31 Mar 2018; current schedule not opened
Not sourced
Registration fee on land deeds
no government schedule found; ask the Sub-Registrar
Doubled
Jantri from 15 Apr 2023
reported by DeshGujarat, Feb 2023; no district schedule obtained
Duty is charged on the higher of the deed value and the jantri (guideline) value, as the state's registration system is generally described; we did not open a schedule to confirm that rule for Narmada. The Comptroller and Auditor General's audit of the year ended 31 March 2018 records stamp duty of 4.9% on conveyance (CAG Report 3 of 2019, chapter 4); a later change is not ruled out. We found no government page giving the registration fee on a land deed or a concession for women buyers, so we state neither. The state doubled its jantri rates from 15 April 2023 after about twelve years (DeshGujarat, February 2023), and a revised draft for agricultural land was reported pending in November 2024 (The Secretariat, November 2024). Registration runs through the gARVI 2.0 system in 294 Sub-Registrar offices (Inspector General of Registration summary); the gARVI portal itself did not open for us, so check it directly. Neither the 4.9% figure nor the jantri doubling has been matched to a Narmada village.
Know the belt
What is moving land in Narmada
Tourism projects, a tribal-land rule set and one acquisition case; no price series and no district jantri schedule was found.
Kevadia and the tourism belt
Projects reported, no land prices
Gujarat Tourism lists the Statue of Unity, Valley of Flowers, Cactus Garden, Dino Trail, Jungle Safari, Nauka Vihar and a laser show among Kevadia's attractions (Gujarat Tourism, Statue of Unity). AIR News reported on 30 October 2025 that the first phase of a hospitality district at Garudeshwar was inaugurated and a Rs 367 crore museum was given a foundation stone (AIR News, October 2025). None of these reports gives a land price or a plot-sale rule.
Check: the parcel's acquisition and litigation history before relying on tourism demand.
Tribal land and Scheduled areas
Rules apply to some holders
The Tenancy Act names "Scheduled areas" and section 73AA of the Land Revenue Code (India Code), and Gujarat Tourism calls the district largely tribal (Gujarat Tourism). We obtained no village list.
Check: whether the holder is in a tribal category and whether the village is in a Scheduled area, in writing from the Collector.
Acquisition litigation near the statue
Status quo ordered, July 2019
Scroll reported that the High Court ordered status quo on acquisition for tourism projects in six villages and barred evictions of Adivasis there (Scroll, July 2019). A November 2017 ThePrint ground report quotes a Goragam resident who gave up about 14 acres for the project, which shows how personal the dispute is but gives no compensation rate (ThePrint, November 2017).
Check: any pending case on the survey number and the village's current acquisition notice.
Asking prices and jantri
No sourced price series
No registered-deal series or district jantri schedule was found. The state doubled jantri rates from 15 April 2023 (DeshGujarat, February 2023), with a revised draft reported pending in November 2024 (The Secretariat, November 2024); neither is a Narmada figure.
Check: registered sale deeds in the same village, and the jantri for the survey number at the Sub-Registrar.
Units: guntha, acre, vigha
Gujarat land is measured in gunthas (about 1,089 sq ft, or 101 sq m), with 40 gunthas to the acre; the new fragmentation standard of 10 gunthas is 1,012 sq m. The vigha varies by region and we found no official conversion, so ask for every quote in acres or gunthas and check the area in the village record. We did not open a revenue manual for these definitions.

Agriculture & terrain
Soil, crops & water in Narmada
A hilly, forest-edged tribal district on black cotton and lateritic soils, where irrigation is mostly from wells and the big canal leaves the district.
🌾 Soils and cultivation
The CGWB booklet lists black cotton soil, sandy alluvial Gorat soil, lateritic Bhatha soil and stony forest soil, generally low in nitrogen and phosphorus and high in potash. Net area sown is 65,757 ha (CGWB Narmada booklet, March 2014). The booklet names no crops, and we found no crop series for the district on the portal. Village-level soil data: Soil Health Card portal (not opened for this page).
- Black cotton soil
- Gorat
- Bhatha
⛰️ Deccan Trap and forest
Deccan Trap basalts cover most of the district, with Bagh beds beneath them and alluvium along the Narmada (CGWB Narmada booklet). Gujarat Tourism describes dense forests, hills and waterfalls, including Zarwani and Ninai (Gujarat Tourism, Narmada). Forest status of a survey number decides what can be built.
- Basalt
- Forest
- Waterfalls
💧 River and canal
The Narmada and Karjan are the district's two rivers on the portal (Narmada district portal). Statewide, 63,908 km of a 69,830 km canal network was complete as of January 2025 (DeshGujarat, March 2025), but the CGWB booklet credits major and medium schemes with only 205 ha of irrigation inside Narmada district (CGWB Narmada booklet). The canal serves other districts.
- Narmada
- Karjan
- Sardar Sarovar
💧 Water & rainfall
Normal annual rainfall is 924.8 mm over 30 years, taken from the Bharuch station (1951-1980) because it is the nearest; the booklet is dated March 2014 (CGWB Narmada booklet). Groundwater development stood at 29.68% for the district under the 2011 assessment, with Nandod 40.57%, Tilakwada 23.80% and Sagbara 13.81%, all talukas "safe"; the booklet gives two different figures for Dediyapada, so we omit it. Of 8,046 ha irrigated, about 7,841 ha is groundwater. Statewide, CGWB puts 2024 extraction at 54.21% (CGWB, Gujarat 2024), and lists Narmada in its EC and fluoride anomaly lists (read through an automated summary). No 2024 Narmada stage was found.
📐 Measurement units
Guntha ≈ 1,089 sq ft; 40 gunthas = 1 acre; the vigha varies by region. Convert every quote to acres or gunthas before comparing offers. Live mandi prices are on Agmarknet (not opened for this page). Crop income is modest next to a tourism-belt plot, so price a parcel on legal status, location and permitted use.

Farmland India view
Why investors look at Narmada
Five reasoned points, with an honest note that the price evidence is missing and legal status decides value.
A national tourism landmark nearby
The 182 m Statue of Unity and its listed attractions draw visitors to Kevadia, and October 2025 brought a tribal university and a first-phase hospitality district. Reports give no land prices, so the effect on any plot is unproven.
Public projects are being delivered
Two of the October 2025 projects were inaugurated and a Rs 367 crore museum began with a foundation stone. That is evidence of activity in Rajpipla and Garudeshwar, not of a rise in land value.
A conservative groundwater picture
The 2011 assessment put every taluka in the safe category, with the district at 29.68% development. The data is old and uneven, so check borewell yield on the ground.
Legal status separates parcels
Tribal-holder land, Scheduled-area villages, acquisition notices and sanctuary boundaries all differ by survey number. A buyer who documents each one is better placed than one relying on a broker summary.
The return case is not crop yield
Net irrigated area is 8,046 ha against 65,757 ha sown, and the booklet names no crops. Price on location and permitted use, not on farm income.
Confirm tribal-land, Scheduled-area, acquisition and forest status directly; these are not certified by Farmland India’s review.
STRAIGHT TALK
Risks & challenges in Narmada
Read these before shortlisting in Narmada specifically.
Tribal-land and Scheduled-area limits
Restrictions on transfers of tribal land apply to some holders and some villages. We found no village list, so ask the Collector in writing before any deposit.
Acquisition litigation
The High Court ordered status quo in six villages near the statue in July 2019 and we found no outcome. Ask for any pending case on the survey number.
Sanctuary and forest overlap
Shoolpaneshwar sanctuary covers about 608 sq km and sources disagree on which district it sits in. Ask the Forest Department whether a parcel is inside it or a buffer.
Farmer-status bar (section 63)
A non-agriculturist cannot buy farmland, and the state's reform proposal had not been enacted by October 2026 on our searches. Ask a lawyer to read the title and eligibility together.
NA premium and zoning
NA permission carries a reported premium of about 35% to 40% of land value and a deemed-grant clock of three months. Obtain the order, not a promise.
Taluka and village counts disagree
The portal lists five or six talukas and 562 or 614 villages on different pages. Check the revenue-record name of a village before relying on a listing.
No sourced price series
We use no listing-site prices for Narmada and no district jantri schedule or compensation rate was found. 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 (Nandod, Dediyapada, Sagbara, Tilakwada, Garudeshwar, and Chikda if it is confirmed), as listed on the Narmada district portal. The Collector's office at Rajpipla handles farmer-status clearance, NA permission, tenure permissions under sections 43 and 63, and questions on tribal-holder land and Scheduled-area status; the Prant (sub-division) office handles delegated cases, and we did not find a Narmada-specific list of Prant offices. The Forest Department answers sanctuary and buffer questions. Sale-deed registration is handled by the local Sub-Registrar through gARVI (gARVI portal, which did not open for us), and records are on AnyROR (also not opened). Check each portal directly; we give no phone numbers or officials' names.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Everything buyers, NRIs and investors ask before their first reviewed farmland purchase in Narmada.
Visit full wiki01 of 04
What does land cost in Narmada?
We publish no per-vigha or per-acre band for Narmada. No registered-deal series, district jantri schedule or acquisition compensation figure was found, and listing-site prices could not be traced to registered sales. The state doubled its jantri from 15 April 2023 (DeshGujarat, February 2023), a state-wide fact, not a Narmada rate.
02 of 04
Are there tribal-land restrictions in Narmada?
Gujarat Tourism calls the district largely tribal, and the Tenancy Act refers to Scheduled areas and to section 73AA of the Land Revenue Code, the provision usually cited for tribal-land transfers. We did not open that text and found no village list, so ask the Collector in writing about the seller and the village.
03 of 04
What stamp duty applies to land in Narmada?
The CAG's audit of the year ended 31 March 2018 records 4.9% on conveyance in Gujarat. We found no government page for the current rate, the registration fee on land deeds or a concession for women, so confirm all three with the Sub-Registrar.
04 of 04
Which developments affect Narmada?
On 30 October 2025 AIR News reported a tribal university at Rajpipla and the first phase of a hospitality district at Garudeshwar inaugurated, and a Rs 367 crore museum given a foundation stone. The High Court ordered status quo on acquisition near the statue in July 2019; we found no outcome.
