Porbandar — 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.
- Agriculturists only (s.63)
- Ceiling Act 1960
- NA via s.65
- Fragmentation: 10 gunthas
- Disturbed Areas Act
- NRI agri: barred (RBI 2018)

Porbandar — district-specific notes
The Gujarat state page applies to Porbandar in full. The notes below are specific to this district. Law was read from Act texts on PRS and India Code, a Revenue Department resolution and news reports; the Revenue Department home page, AnyROR and gARVI did not open for us.
⚠ Farmer status decides who can buy agricultural land. Section 63 of the Gujarat Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948 is headed "Transfers to non-agriculturist barred" (India Code), and farmer verification runs through revenue records to 6 April 1995 (SCC Online, September 2024). A proposal to let non-farmers buy was reported under review in November 2024 (Gujarat Samachar, November 2024) and we found nothing enacted by October 2026. Ask for the seller's farmer evidence and, for any non-agricultural use, the NA order.
⚠ Coastal land has its own checks. The Arabian Sea bounds the district on the west and south (Porbandar district portal). The Revenue Department's 2008 resolution on NA procedure lists a 500 m limit from the high-tide line and 900 m limits near railways, airports and Air Force installations (Revenue Department resolution, July 2008), and it may have been superseded. We found no published purchase rule or Coastal Regulation Zone map for Porbandar, so ask the Collector and the Gujarat Maritime Board for the status of any parcel near the shore or the port.
⚠ Saline water limits farm use on the coast. The CGWB booklet records groundwater salinity (total dissolved solids) from 801 mg/l at Ranavav to 7,303 mg/l at Miyani in May 2012, with the southern coastal part more saline and chloride above 1,000 mg/l at five stations; coastal alluvial soils are saline (CGWB Porbandar booklet, 2014). These are 2012 readings, so test the water on the parcel before paying for irrigated-farm value.
⚠ Port and defence land may carry conditions. The Gujarat Maritime Board page describes a nearly completed GMB-Navy jetty, a planned Coast Guard jetty extension and a proposed naval base, none dated (Gujarat Maritime Board). We found no Porbandar-specific notification restricting nearby private land, so ask the Collector in writing before a deposit on a parcel close to the port.
⚠ The Disturbed Areas Act, 1991 lets the State notify areas where a transfer needs the Collector's prior sanction, with the transfer void without it (Disturbed Areas Act (PRS copy)). We obtained no list of notified areas and found nothing naming Porbandar, so ask the Collector or Sub-Registrar whether the survey number falls in one. The fragmentation amendment reported as passed on 11 September 2026 sets a 10-guntha (1,012 sq m) standard for rural land and excludes urban areas (DeshGujarat, September 2026); the Act text was not seen.

District overview
Porbandar — a coastal Saurashtra district of groundnut farms and a working port
Porbandar is a coastal Saurashtra district of about 2,316 sq km with 5,85,449 people at Census 2011, of whom 2,85,674 live in urban areas, in 182 inhabited villages and four towns (CGWB Porbandar booklet, 2014). It has three talukas, Porbandar, Kutiyana and Ranavav. The district portal describes it as created from Junagadh district, with Jamnagar and Devbhumi Dwarka to the north, Junagadh and Rajkot to the east and the Arabian Sea to the west and south (Porbandar district portal). An undated industrial profile gives 2,272 sq km and 5,86,062 people, and a normal rainfall of 1,242 mm that conflicts with the 660 mm in the CGWB booklet (district industrial profile).
We publish no per-acre or per-vigha price band for Porbandar. No registered-deal series or district jantri schedule could be opened, and Gujarat's jantri was reported doubled from 15 April 2023 with a revised draft still pending in November 2024 (DeshGujarat, February 2023; The Secretariat, November 2024). The land story is a port, a coast and farms on black soil, and we found few dated projects.
Farming is groundnut-led. The CGWB booklet gives groundnut as the most important crop, followed by gram, on shallow to medium black soils over about 75% of the area; dug wells are the main irrigation source and groundwater development was 71.62% in 2012, which the booklet classes as semi-critical (CGWB Porbandar booklet, 2014).

reported statewide; no Porbandar schedule opened
The Comptroller and Auditor General's audit for the year ended 31 March 2018 states stamp duty on a conveyance deed at 4.9% 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 after about twelve years (DeshGujarat, February 2023), and a revised draft was reported pending in November 2024 (The Secretariat, November 2024). Registration runs through gARVI 2.0 across 294 Sub-Registrar offices (Inspector General of Registration summary); we could not open the portal (gARVI), so we quote no women's concession and no Porbandar guideline value. Ask the Sub-Registrar for the duty, fee and jantri on your survey number.
Know the belt
What is moving prices in Porbandar
Reported port, rail-depot and zoning developments; no listing-site prices are used.
Porbandar port
All-weather, berths up to 50,000 DWT
The Gujarat Maritime Board describes Porbandar as an all-weather port with direct berthing for ships up to 50,000 DWT, about 5 km from the nearest broad-gauge railhead and about 6 km from NH 8E, handling imports such as coal, LPG and wet dates and exports such as salt, cement, bauxite and onion (Gujarat Maritime Board). The page is undated, closes lighterage work from 15 May to 15 September and names no expansion value.
Check: whether the survey number is near the port, the shore or a rail siding, and the zone and status of the land.
Ranavav Integrated Coaching Depot
Listed as upcoming (Apr 2026)
DeshGujarat's round-up of March 2026 lists the Ranavav Integrated Coaching Depot under upcoming railway expansion (DeshGujarat, April 2026). It gives no cost, land area or date.
Check: whether any railway acquisition notice covers the survey number.
Mocha marine biotechnology corridor
Headline only (Jun 2026)
A sidebar headline on a DeshGujarat page of 25 June 2026 reads "Gujarat Plans Rs 100-Crore Marine Biotechnology Corridor at Mocha in Porbandar" (DeshGujarat, June 2026). We did not open the article, so we report the headline only and no land area, site or date.
Check: the article and any government notice before treating the corridor as a land driver.
Asking prices
No sourced price series
Listing-site asking prices for Porbandar could not be traced to registered deals, so none are shown. Jantri is the only official reference and it is a registration floor, not what a seller will accept.
Check: registered sale deeds in the same village before negotiating.
Units: guntha and vigha
A guntha is about 101 sq m or 1,089 sq ft and 40 gunthas make an acre; the fragmentation amendment uses 10 gunthas as 1,012 sq m (DeshGujarat, September 2026). The vigha varies by region and we found no official conversion, so convert any quote to gunthas or acres and confirm the share of the survey number being sold with the talati.
Connectivity
How Porbandar connects — road, rail and air
Distances to Rajkot, Jamnagar and Junagadh are not given because no official or news source was found. Journey times vary with road works.
By road
By air
By rail & port
The port facts come from the Gujarat Maritime Board, the road and rail lengths from the district industrial profile and the depot from DeshGujarat, April 2026. The road numbering on the port page may be older than current NH numbers. The practical question is the last leg from the highway to the parcel; ask for the access road in the revenue record. Statewide rules for buyers are in the Gujarat agricultural land rules.

Agriculture & terrain
Soil, crops & water in Porbandar
A coastal black-soil groundnut district where dug wells carry irrigation and the southern coast is saline.
🌾 Black soil and groundnut
The CGWB booklet records shallow to medium black soils over about 75% of the district, deep black soil in the Ghed area and saline coastal alluvium. Groundnut is the most important crop, at about 66% of cultivated area in one place and 77% in another, followed by gram, with cotton, wheat, bajri, jowar, pulses and sugarcane also grown (CGWB Porbandar booklet, 2014).
- Groundnut
- Gram
- Cotton
- Wheat
- Bajri
- Sugarcane
🌊 Rivers and rain
The Bhadar is the principal river, with the Bobadi, Minsar, Kalindri, Ojat, Kaman and Vartu also named; the basement is Deccan Trap basalt. The booklet gives normal rainfall of 660 mm (639.9 mm at the Porbandar station, 1943 to 1980), while the industrial profile gives 1,242 mm, and we follow the booklet (CGWB Porbandar booklet, 2014; district industrial profile).
- Bhadar
- Bobadi
- Minsar
- Ojat
🧂 Coast and salinity
Groundwater is more saline in the southern coastal part, with total dissolved solids from 801 mg/l at Ranavav to 7,303 mg/l at Miyani in May 2012, although the booklet still calls quality generally potable (CGWB Porbandar booklet, 2014). Test any parcel near the shore.
- Saline south
- Miyani
- Ranavav
💧 Water & irrigation
The booklet records 22,307 dug wells irrigating about 19.5 thousand hectares, 872 shallow and 776 deep tubewells, and only 0.08 thousand hectares under canals from eight canals totalling 16 km, with no tank irrigation; its irrigation data come from the Minor Irrigation Census of 2000-01. Groundwater development was 71.62% overall, semi-critical, with Porbandar taluka at 88.98% (semi-critical) and Kutiyana at 63.22% and Ranavav at 63.55% (safe), on 2012 data (CGWB Porbandar booklet, 2014). The 2024 CGWB state report has no district-wise stage in the file we read (CGWB, Gujarat 2024), and Porbandar is not on the Gujarat Samachar list of stressed districts (Gujarat Samachar, September 2026), which is not evidence of safety. We found no Porbandar link to the SAUNI scheme. Check borewell yield and salinity for any parcel.
📐 Measurement units
Gujarat land units: guntha about 1,089 sq ft; 40 gunthas = 1 acre; vigha varies by region with no official conversion found. Convert every quote to gunthas or acres before comparing two offers. Live mandi prices are on Agmarknet (not opened for this page); village-level soil data is on the Soil Health Card portal (not opened). Crop income is modest next to land values near the port or shore, so price a parcel on location and permitted use.

Farmland India view
Why investors look at Porbandar
Five reasoned points, with an honest note that the price evidence is thin and few projects carry dates.
A working port
The Gujarat Maritime Board describes an all-weather port with rail and highway access within a few kilometres. The page is undated and names no expansion value, so it supports location, not a price rise.
Groundnut farming on black soil
Groundnut dominates the cropped area on shallow to medium black soils. Yield and water, not crop income alone, decide a farm's value.
Groundwater is mixed
Porbandar taluka was semi-critical at 88.98% in 2012 while Kutiyana and Ranavav were safe, and the south coast is saline. The data are old, so test the borewell and the water.
Few dated projects
Only a coaching depot at Ranavav is listed as upcoming, with no date, and the Mocha corridor is a headline. A buyer should expect a slow story.
A market that rewards paperwork
Farmer status, coastal checks and port or defence conditions are survey-number specific. A buyer who documents each is better placed than one relying on a broker.
Confirm farmer status, coastal status and any port or defence condition directly; these are not certified by Farmland India’s review.
STRAIGHT TALK
Risks & challenges in Porbandar
Read these before shortlisting in Porbandar specifically.
Farmer-status rule
Section 63 bars transfers to non-agriculturists, and a state proposal to let non-farmers buy was under review in November 2024 with nothing enacted that we found. Ask for the seller's farmer evidence and the NA order.
Coastal land
We found no published purchase rule or Coastal Regulation Zone map for Porbandar's coast. Ask the Collector and the Gujarat Maritime Board for the status of any parcel near the sea.
Saline water and soil
Coastal alluvial soils are saline and groundwater reached 7,303 mg/l at Miyani in 2012. Test the water before paying for irrigated-farm value.
Semi-critical Porbandar taluka
The 2012 booklet put Porbandar taluka at 88.98% groundwater development, semi-critical. Check borewell depth, yield and any permission rule.
Port and defence land
The port page mentions a Navy jetty, a Coast Guard extension and a proposed naval base, none dated. Ask the Collector in writing about conditions near the port.
Announced is not delivered
The Ranavav depot has no date and the Mocha corridor is a headline. Price on today's roads and rail.
Disturbed Areas Act checks
Where a survey number lies in a notified area, the Collector's sanction is required and a transfer without it is void. We have no list and found nothing naming Porbandar.
No sourced price series
We use no listing-site prices for Porbandar, and jantri is only a floor. Collect registered comparables before negotiating.
Who to contact
Local revenue & planning offices
Mutation and revenue-record matters go through the Mamlatdar of the taluka and the talati of the village, with the Prant officer (sub-divisional officer) above them and the District Collector at the top; the Porbandar district portal opened for us but does not list the talukas or offices. Questions on the port and coastal land go to the Gujarat Maritime Board (the port page), on railway land to the railway, and on forest land to the Forest Department. NA permission is applied for to the Collector, and acquisition notices appear in the Gazette. Zoning law is the Gujarat Town Planning and Urban Development Act, 1976 (Act text, not opened). Sale-deed registration is handled by the Sub-Registrar office for the village, and land records are on AnyROR with registration on gARVI. We could not open the Revenue Department, AnyROR and gARVI portals, so check them directly.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Everything buyers, NRIs and investors ask before their first reviewed farmland purchase in Porbandar.
Visit full wiki01 of 04
What does agricultural land cost in Porbandar?
We publish no per-acre or per-vigha band for Porbandar because no registered-deal series or district jantri schedule could be opened, and listing-site asking prices could not be traced to registered deals. The only official reference is the statewide jantri, reported doubled from 15 April 2023 (DeshGujarat, February 2023), and it is a registration floor, not a market price. Collect registered comparables from the same village.
02 of 04
Who can buy agricultural land in Porbandar, and what are the coastal checks?
Section 63 of the Gujarat Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948 bars transfers to non-agriculturists, and farmer status is checked from revenue records back to 6 April 1995 (SCC Online, September 2024). The Revenue Department's 2008 resolution lists a 500 m limit from the high-tide line, which may be superseded (Revenue Department, July 2008); we found no Coastal Regulation Zone map for Porbandar, so ask the Collector and the Gujarat Maritime Board.
03 of 04
What stamp duty applies to land in Porbandar?
The Comptroller and Auditor General's audit for the year ended 31 March 2018 states stamp duty on a conveyance deed at 4.9% of the greater of consideration and market value, with no registration-fee rate given (CAG, Report 3 of 2019). We could not open the registration portal, so ask the Sub-Registrar for the current duty, fee and jantri on your survey number.
04 of 04
Which infrastructure affects Porbandar land?
The Gujarat Maritime Board describes Porbandar as an all-weather port about 5 km from a broad-gauge railhead (undated page). DeshGujarat listed the Ranavav Integrated Coaching Depot as upcoming in April 2026, with no date, and a headline from June 2026 mentions a Rs 100 crore marine biotechnology corridor at Mocha that we could not open.
