Khargone — land purchase legal rules
⚠ Madhya Pradesh does not run on a single rule for farmland. Tribal land, land above the holding ceiling, diverted land and ordinary farmland each follow a different track, and the Collector’s office sits at the centre of the first. Work out which track a parcel is on before looking at the price.
Which office decides what: A member of a tribe that the Code treats as aboriginal needs written permission from a revenue officer of at least Collector rank to sell land outside a notified area, and in a notified area the bar on sale to a non-tribal is absolute (section 165(6); Supreme Court, April 2025). The Supreme Court accepted in April 2025 that an Additional Collector can grant that permission under a valid work-allocation order (Lawyer E-News, April 2025). Sale deeds are registered through the Registration Department, which launched the Sampada 2.0 online registration system in October 2024 (The Statesman, October 2024).
Section 165 and tribal land: The April 2025 judgment concerned 6.29 hectares in Ratlam district outside the notified tehsils; the sale went through because the Additional Collector had given written permission, the price was above market value and a 10-year bar on changing the land’s use was attached under section 165(6-ee) (Supreme Court, April 2025). The High Court had earlier upheld the same sale and noted the Patwari’s report, the sellers’ need to fund a marriage and settle loans, and the land they kept (High Court, October 2023). Permission is a gate, not a formality: a sale with no permission is exposed. Under section 170B a transfer made by fraud can be reverted to the tribal owner or heirs, and the Supreme Court in March 2019 held that a civil court could not revisit a Collector’s 1985 section 170B order that had survived a writ petition (Supreme Court, March 2019).
Wills and indirect transfers: In February 2025 the High Court held that “transfer” in section 165(6) is not confined to sale and covers a Will of tribal land in favour of a non-tribal, so Collector permission was needed there too (High Court, February 2025). A buyer cannot assume that an inheritance document or a power of attorney avoids the permission step. There is a narrow carve-out: in October 2024 the High Court, relying on an older Division Bench ruling, held that sections 165(6) and 170 do not apply to Nazul land in an urban area, and sent the question of whether a given parcel was Nazul or Abadi back to the Additional Commissioner (High Court, October 2024).
Diversion and the Code: Turning farmland to another use is a diversion. A June 2022 High Court order refers to land “diverted under section 172” to non-agricultural purposes, and the Supreme Court has described section 59 as allowing reassessment of land revenue on a change of use, with a premium that the Sub-Divisional Officer may impose (High Court, June 2022; Supreme Court, August 2008). We could not read the current text of sections 172 and 190, so this page does not describe their procedure or fees, and a seller’s diversion order should be read in full, not taken on trust.
Ceiling on holdings: The Madhya Pradesh Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings Act, 1960 caps how much one holder or family may hold and provides for acquiring surplus land. In the 2021 case the Supreme Court quoted section 7(b) as allowing a family of five or fewer 54 acres, and set aside surplus declarations where a pending suit had not been disclosed (Supreme Court, January 2021). A legal-database copy of the Act lists three tiers for a family of five or fewer: 18 acres of two-crop irrigated land, 27 acres of one-crop irrigated land and 54 acres of dry land, and says land cannot be transferred before the final ceiling order without the Collector’s written permission, unless the holder is within the ceiling (legal database text of the 1960 Act). Treat those figures as the Act’s text as published there, and have a lawyer check the current schedule before buying a large holding.
Who may buy: None of the court orders or Act texts we opened bars a buyer simply for not being a farmer; the limits that turned up were the tribal-land permission in section 165(6) and the ceiling on holdings. We found no state notice listing other buyer conditions, so confirm with the Registration Department and the Collector’s office that none applies to the district you are looking at.
Registration and stamping: The Indian Stamp (Madhya Pradesh Second Amendment) Act, 2025 was published on 17 December 2025 and changes how short-stamped documents are handled, including a penalty of 1% of the deficient portion per month (TeamLease RegTech, December 2025). Duty rates are covered in the stamp duty section below.
Land records: Madhya Pradesh land records (khasra and the B-1 extract) are issued through the state’s MP Bhulekh portal. We could not open that portal for this page and found no independent description of its current fields or fees, so ask the seller for a fresh extract and compare the survey number, area and recorded owner with the sale deed.
NRI and OCI buyers: The Reserve Bank’s Master Direction under FEMA 1999 excludes agricultural land, plantation land and a farm house from what NRIs and OCIs may buy, in Madhya Pradesh as elsewhere (RBI Master Direction FED 12/2015-16, updated to September 2022). They can buy other immovable assets such as residential or commercial sites, and inheritance is treated separately in the Direction. Benami-law exposure was not checked against the Act text for this page, so take legal advice before using a nominee.

Khargone — district-specific notes
The Madhya Pradesh state page applies to Khargone in full. The notes below are specific to this district. Law was read from court orders and the Scheduled Areas Order; the Land Revenue Code and the MP Bhulekh portal could not be opened, and where that matters the note says so.
⚠ Tribal land is the first check in Khargone. The Scheduled Areas Order, 2003 lists Bhagwanpura, Segaon, Bhikangaon, Jhirniya, Khargone and Meheshwar tahsils of West Nimar (Khargone) as Scheduled Areas (Scheduled Areas Order, 2003), which covers most of the district's tehsils, and the profile notes Bhil-speaking parts of the district (MSME-DI profile). The state rule applies on top: a member of a tribe the Code treats as aboriginal needs written permission from a revenue officer of at least Collector rank to sell land outside a notified area, and inside a notified area the bar on sale to a non-tribal is absolute (section 165(6); Supreme Court, April 2025). A Will in favour of a non-tribal needs the same permission (High Court, February 2025), and a transfer made by fraud can be reverted under section 170B (Supreme Court, March 2019). We did not map which tehsils are notified under section 165(6) separately from the Scheduled Areas list, so ask the Collector's office for the status of the village and the seller's category in writing.
⚠ A farmhouse, plotted use or any other non-agricultural use means diversion of the land. A June 2022 order refers to land "diverted under section 172" (High Court, June 2022), and the Supreme Court has described section 59 as allowing reassessment of land revenue on a change of use, with a premium that the Sub-Divisional Officer may impose (Supreme Court, August 2008). We could not read the current text of sections 172 and 190 of the Land Revenue Code, so this page does not describe their procedure or fees. Ask the seller for the diversion order and the premium receipt, and ask the Khargone Collector's office or the Town and Country Planning office whether a development plan covers the village.
⚠ Forest and protected land needs a separate check. The MSME-DI profile records 2,47,100 hectares of forest in 2010-11 and names Bhagwanpura, Jhirnia, Barwaha and Maheshwar tehsils as dense forest (MSME-DI profile), and the Mhow–Sanawad rail project affects 46 hectares of forest in Khargone, as reported (Business Standard, November 2025). Ask the Divisional Forest Officer whether a khasra is recorded as forest or lies near a protected area. We found no Khargone-specific sanctuary or eco-sensitive zone notification.
⚠ The Madhya Pradesh Ceiling on Agricultural Holdings Act, 1960 caps how much one family may hold. The Supreme Court quoted section 7(b) in 2021 as allowing a family of five or fewer 54 acres (Supreme Court, January 2021), and a legal-database copy lists 18 acres for two-crop irrigated land, 27 acres for one-crop irrigated land and 54 acres for dry land (legal database text of the 1960 Act). That copy is not the official text and the schedule may have changed, so a buyer assembling a large block in Khargone should have a lawyer check the current figures and whether any ceiling proceedings were opened on the seller's family.
⚠ NRIs and OCIs cannot buy agricultural land, plantation land or a farm house under the RBI Master Direction (RBI Master Direction FED 12/2015-16, updated to September 2022). We found no court order or Act text that bars a resident buyer simply for not being a farmer, but we opened no notice listing every buyer condition, so confirm with the Registration Department and the Collector's office.

District overview
Khargone — a Narmada-side district where the road and rail projects are still on paper or under way
Khargone, historically West Nimar, covers about 8,030 sq km and had 18,72,413 people at Census 2011 (MSME-DI profile). The CGWB profile lists nine development blocks, and the Narmada is its main drainage with a limited stretch of the Tapti along the southern edge (CGWB district profile). The MSME-DI profile records three industrial areas (Nimrani, Barwaha and Bhadli) with about 202.65 hectares acquired.
We publish an estimated price band for Khargone, marked with an asterisk, and no source for it: no dated official per-acre guideline figure was found for the district, and the state page carries no per-acre series either (Dainik Jagran English, March 2026). The band is wide on purpose. Land close to Barwaha, Sanawad and Maheshwar, which sit nearer Indore and the Narmada, should read higher than interior tehsils such as Bhagwanpura or Segaon, where tribal-land rules and forest also apply.
Agriculture is the base of the district: black-soil cotton, jowar, groundnut, wheat, maize and gram, mostly watered from dug wells (CGWB district profile). Road projects are the near-term price story. The state cabinet cleared a four-lane Barwaha–Dhamnod road in 2026 (Indian Masterminds, July 2026), and the Centre approved an NH-347B upgrade that includes a Khargone bypass in June 2026 (Punjab Kesari, June 2026). Neither is open to traffic.

~10.5%
Combined, reported
arithmetic of the two reported rates; an earlier piece gave a 9.5% to 12.5% range
The state-level figures apply to Khargone and are the same as on the Madhya Pradesh page: Dainik Jagran English, March 2026 reported stamp duty of 7.5% and a registration charge of 3% on the higher of market value or transaction value, and Dainik Jagran English, 25 March 2026 said a guideline-rate rise would raise duty and fees in proportion. We could not open the Registration Department's own fee page, so treat these as reported figures and ask the Sub-Registrar for the current schedule for agricultural land. Since 17 December 2025 a short-stamped document attracts a penalty of 1% of the shortfall per month (TeamLease RegTech, December 2025), and registration can be done online through Sampada 2.0, which also shows guideline rates by location (The Statesman, October 2024). We found no Khargone guideline-rate notice; the only district-level guideline reports found for the state concern Bhopal and Indore, so check the village rate on Sampada 2.0 or with the Sub-Registrar.
Know the belt
What is moving prices in Khargone
No official per-acre rate was found for Khargone, so this section lists the signals that can be sourced: road and rail projects, the Scheduled Areas overlay and the state compensation change. Price bands elsewhere on the page are estimates.
Barwaha–Dhamnod four-lane
Cabinet-approved, 63 km, ₹2,508.21 crore
The state highway is to be upgraded from two lanes to four on the hybrid annuity model. The report says about 5 km near Dhamnod lies in Dhar and the rest in Khargone, that land acquisition was close to its final stage and that the government wants it done before Simhastha 2028 (Indian Masterminds, July 2026). No start date was given.
Check: whether the parcel lies in the acquisition strip and whether a Section 3A-type notice or ban on transfers applies in the village.
NH-347B upgrade and Khargone bypass
Approved 3 June 2026, ₹4,415.60 crore
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs approved a 233.653 km programme on NH-347B through Betul, Khandwa, Khargone and Barwani, with a 108.643 km Deshgaon–Julwania widening from two lanes to four and a 16.20 km greenfield bypass around Khargone (Punjab Kesari, June 2026). The report gives no construction start.
Check: the alignment of the bypass against the parcel; it is greenfield, so land along it is not yet road-fronting.
Mhow–Sanawad broad gauge
Under way, reported finish 2027-28
Business Standard reported in November 2025 that the old narrow-gauge line is being rebuilt as a 156 km broad-gauge line, finishing in 2027-28, with forest clearance across Indore and Khargone still being completed (Business Standard, November 2025). That is a reported timetable, not a service.
Check: the station and the access road; no new Khargone station was named in the reports read.
Tribal-land and forest overlay
Applies to most tehsils
Six Khargone tahsils are listed as Scheduled Areas (Scheduled Areas Order, 2003), and the dense-forest tehsils named in the profile overlap with them (MSME-DI profile). The price band for these tehsils is low partly because few parcels can be sold to a non-tribal at all.
Check: the seller's tribal status and the Collector's permission order before discussing price.
Acquisition compensation
State cabinet decision, 23 April 2026
The Hitavada reported that the cabinet raised the multiplication factor for rural land acquisition from 1.0 to 2.0, and the Chief Minister said it takes effect immediately (The Hitavada, April 2026). The report does not explain how this reaches the "about four times market value" it cites, so the effect on a specific award is unconfirmed. It matters on the road strips above, where owners may sell expecting acquisition.
Check: the notification text and the date from which it applies.
Units: acres and hectares
Revenue extracts record area in hectares and acres by survey number. Informal local units differ by tehsil and village, so convert any quote to acres or hectares (one hectare is about 2.47 acres, our arithmetic) and compare offers only on that basis.
Connectivity
How Khargone connects — road, rail and air
No distances to Indore or other cities are given because no official or news source for them was opened. Journey times vary with traffic and road works.
By road
By air
By rail & metro
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: state-wise land laws.

Agriculture & terrain
Soil, crops & water in Khargone
A black-soil cotton and jowar district on the Narmada, watered mainly from dug wells, with a large forest and tribal share in the south and west.
🌾 Black-soil plains (Khargone, Kasrawad, Gogawan)
The CGWB profile lists Kali (black) soils of three grades, halki khardri and bardi, and a crop list of jowar, cotton, groundnut, wheat, maize, gram and tuwar (CGWB district profile). The profile gives no crop areas, so we give none. Village-level soil data: Soil Health Card portal (not opened for this page).
- Cotton
- Jowar
- Groundnut
- Wheat
- Maize
🌳 Forest and tribal tehsils (Bhagwanpura, Jhirnia, Segaon)
The MSME-DI profile gives 2,47,100 hectares of forest in 2010-11 and names Bhagwanpura, Jhirnia, Barwaha and Maheshwar as dense-forest tehsils (MSME-DI profile). Most of these tehsils are also Scheduled Areas (Scheduled Areas Order, 2003), so legal status matters more than soil.
- Forest
- Scheduled Areas
- Bhil-speaking parts
🌊 Narmada belt (Maheshwar, Barwaha, Sanawad)
The Narmada is the district's main drainage (CGWB district profile). The Indore–Khandwa rail line and the Barwaha–Dhamnod road both run through this side, which is why it carries the highest estimated band on this page. We found no flood or submergence data for specific villages, so ask the seller and the local office about any history on riverside parcels.
- Narmada
- Maheshwar
- Barwaha
💧 Water & rainfall
Normal annual rainfall is 835 mm. The CGWB profile counts 62,611 dug wells irrigating 93,662 hectares, 8,885 tube wells irrigating 30,926 hectares, 144 tanks irrigating 24,396 hectares and 108 canal structures irrigating 26,555 hectares, and puts the stage of groundwater development at 72% on 2009 data, down from 76% in 2003-04 (CGWB district profile). That profile is old. The 2024 state assessment gives 58.40% for Madhya Pradesh as a whole and lists Khargone among districts with nitrate above 45 mg/L at sporadic locations, but it has no Khargone block rows (CGWB, GWRA-2024). Check borewell yield and water quality on the parcel.
📐 Measurement units
Revenue extracts use hectares and acres by survey number; informal local units differ by tehsil and village, so convert every quote before comparing two offers. Live mandi prices are on Agmarknet (not opened for this page); crop income is modest next to land values near the roads, so price a parcel on its location and permitted use.
At a glance
Khargone vs. its neighbours
| District / belt | Price band* (per acre) | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Khargone — interior tehsils | ₹6–20 lakh* | Estimate; tribal-land and forest rules apply in many tehsils |
| Khargone — Barwaha, Sanawad, Maheshwar | ₹15–50 lakh* | Estimate; nearer Indore and the Narmada |
| Khandwa | ₹5–35 lakh* | See the Khandwa page |
| Dhar | ₹6 lakh–1.5 crore* | See the Dhar page; Pithampur belt is the high end |
*Indicative only, not a valuation or an offer; prices vary by plot, road access and title. Check the guideline or ready-reckoner rate with the Sub-Registrar. See the Khandwa page for the district across the Narmada road corridor and the Dhar page for the industrial belt.
Farmland India view
Why investors look at Khargone
Five reasoned points, with an honest note that price evidence is thin, the roads are approved rather than built and tribal-land rules cover much of the district.
Roads approved on two axes
The Barwaha–Dhamnod four-lane and the NH-347B upgrade with a Khargone bypass are both approved (Indian Masterminds, July 2026; Punjab Kesari, June 2026). Approval is not construction, so price on today's roads.
A rail line being rebuilt
The narrow-gauge line is being converted to broad gauge with a reported 2027-28 finish. A buyer near Sanawad or Barwaha should treat that as a future change in access, not a present one.
Closer to Indore than the district's size suggests
The Narmada-side tehsils sit on the Indore–Khandwa axis, and this desk expects them to price above the interior. The estimated bands reflect that, with wide ranges.
Farming income is real but secondary
Cotton, jowar and wheat on black soil support a farming case, yet crop income is small against land values near the roads. Return depends on location and permitted use.
A market that rewards paperwork
Scheduled Areas, forest, diversion and ceiling questions are all parcel-specific. A buyer who documents each one is better placed than one relying on a broker summary.
Confirm tribal-land status, any ceiling-surplus proceedings and the diversion order directly; these are not certified by Farmland India’s review.
STRAIGHT TALK
Risks & challenges in Khargone
Read these before shortlisting in Khargone specifically.
Tribal-land permission
Six Khargone tahsils are Scheduled Areas. A sale by a tribal holder needs Collector-level permission and in a notified area is barred outright; a Will needs the same permission. Ask for the permission order and the seller's category.
Forest and dense-forest tehsils
Forest covers a large share of the district, concentrated in the south and west. Ask whether a khasra is recorded as forest, and whether any clearance condition attaches to it.
Approved is not built
The Barwaha–Dhamnod road, the NH-347B upgrade and the Khargone bypass are approved with no confirmed start; the Mhow–Sanawad line has a reported 2027-28 finish. Price on today's access.
Acquisition strips
Land along the planned roads and bypass may be acquired. The state raised the rural compensation factor in April 2026; ask for the notification and the village's status before paying a road-frontage premium.
Diversion and farmhouse use
A parcel marketed as farmhouse-ready needs a diversion order. We could not read the current procedure under sections 172 and 190, so read the order in full.
Groundwater data is old
The district stage of development (72%) is a 2009 figure, and block-level 2024 categories were not found. Check borewell depth and yield.
Estimated prices only
The bands on this page are estimates from analogy, not registered deals. Collect registered comparables from the Sub-Registrar before negotiating.
Reported, not official, duty rate
The 7.5% stamp duty and 3% registration fee come from a press report. Ask for the current schedule before budgeting.
Who to contact
Local revenue, planning & forest offices
Mutation and revenue-record matters go through the Tehsildar of the relevant tehsil; the MSME-DI profile gives nine tehsils without naming them, so confirm the tehsil for a village with the District Collector's office. Sale deeds are registered with the Sub-Registrar, and Sampada 2.0 shows guideline rates by location (The Statesman, October 2024). Tribal-land permissions sit with the Collector or an officer of Collector rank (Supreme Court, April 2025), and forest status is confirmed by the Divisional Forest Officer. We could not open the Khargone district portal (robots block), MP Bhulekh or the Registration Department site, so check them directly.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Everything buyers, NRIs and investors ask before their first reviewed farmland purchase in Khargone.
Visit full wiki01 of 04
Can an outsider buy agricultural land in Khargone?
No court order or Act text opened for the Madhya Pradesh page bars a buyer for not being a farmer, and we read no Khargone-specific order. Six Khargone tahsils (Bhagwanpura, Segaon, Bhikangaon, Jhirniya, Khargone and Maheshwar) are Scheduled Areas under the 2003 Order, tribal-held land needs Collector-level written permission (Supreme Court, April 2025), and NRIs and OCIs cannot buy agricultural land under the RBI Master Direction. Confirm any exemption with a Madhya Pradesh revenue lawyer.
02 of 04
What does agricultural land cost in Khargone?
We estimate roughly ₹6-20 lakh per acre* for interior tehsils and ₹15-50 lakh per acre* around Barwaha, Sanawad and Maheshwar. These are wide, indicative bands, not a valuation or an offer; prices vary by plot, road access and title. No dated official per-acre guideline figure was found, so check the village rate with the Sub-Registrar.
03 of 04
What stamp duty applies to land in Khargone?
Dainik Jagran English reported in March 2026 stamp duty of 7.5% and a registration charge of 3%, about 10.5% together, on the higher of market value or transaction value. We could not open the Registration Department's own page, so confirm with the Sub-Registrar. A short-stamped deed attracts a penalty of 1% a month on the shortfall (TeamLease RegTech, December 2025).
04 of 04
Which road and rail projects affect Khargone?
The state cabinet approved a 63 km Barwaha-Dhamnod four-lane costing ₹2,508 crore (Indian Masterminds, July 2026), and the Centre approved an NH-347B upgrade with a 16.20 km Khargone bypass on 3 June 2026 (Punjab Kesari). The Mhow-Sanawad broad-gauge line has a reported 2027-28 finish (Business Standard, November 2025). None is reported open.
