Nagpur — land purchase legal rules
⚠ Maharashtra reserves agricultural land for agriculturists. Section 63 of the Tenancy Act voids a sale to anyone else unless an exception or a Collector’s permission applies, and in July 2026 the Revenue Minister repeated that only recognised farmers may buy. Several other statutes then decide whether a parcel can be split, converted or built on. Read the 7/12 before you read the price.
Who may buy agricultural land: Section 63 of the Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act makes a sale, gift, exchange or lease of agricultural land invalid in favour of a person who is not an agriculturist. It also bites where an agriculturist buyer would end up holding more than two-thirds of the ceiling area (Indian Kanoon text of section 63). The Collector, or an officer the State authorises, can permit a transaction on conditions, but not where the buyer would farm the land and has other income of Rs 12,000 a year or more, according to the same text. In Gundaji Satwaji Shinde v. Ramchandra Bhikaji Joshi (Supreme Court, December 1978) the Court held that whether a buyer is an agriculturist is for the Mamlatdar, not the civil court (Manupat case guide). On 8 July 2026 the Revenue Minister told the Assembly that only recognised farmers may buy agricultural land and that buyers must show proof of farmer status; IANS named no new statute (IANS, July 2026).
Where the bar does not apply: Maharashtra Act I of 2016 inserted sub-section (1C), which switches off the bar for land inside a Municipal Corporation, subject to conditions: non-agricultural use within a fixed time, with the Collector able to extend by up to five years (Acts of 2016 and 2018, PRS). Section 63-1A separately lets a buyer, farmer or not, take land for bona fide industrial use without prior Collector permission (Indian Kanoon text of section 63-1A). The Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Laws (Amendment) Act, 2026, effective 15 April 2026, narrows that route to occupancy class-I land, replaces the old non-agricultural assessment and nazarana with a one-time conversion premium under section 47 of the Land Revenue Code, and caps the penalty for late notice at five times that premium (JSA, June 2026). JSA describes no change to the general bar in section 63(1).
Tenant-purchased land and wills: Land a tenant bought under the Act cannot be sold, gifted, mortgaged or leased without the Collector’s prior sanction. After ten years the sanction falls away if the seller pays nazarana of forty times the assessment, the buyer is an agriculturist and the buyer stays within the ceiling (Indian Kanoon text of section 43). The 2026 amendment deletes the nazarana (JSA, June 2026). A will does not get round the bar: in Vinodchandra Sakarlal Kapadia v. State of Gujarat (15 June 2020) the Supreme Court read “assignment” in section 43 to include a bequest to a non-agriculturist (LiveLaw, June 2020; Supreme Court judgment). That appeal came from Gujarat, which applies the same 1948 statute, and the Court disapproved an earlier ruling under the separate Vidarbha Act. Marathwada and Vidarbha run on parallel Acts that the 2026 amendment also touches.
Fragmentation and minimum plot size: The Maharashtra Prevention of Fragmentation and Consolidation of Holdings Act, 1947 restricts sales of land below a notified standard area. A notification of 8 August 2023 set it, outside municipal corporation and council limits, at about a quarter acre for bagayat (irrigated) land and half an acre for jirayat (dry-crop) land, which is roughly 10 and 20 gunthas on our arithmetic of 40 gunthas to the acre (Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas via Conventus Law). The 2024 amendment moved the regularisation window to 15 October 2024 at a premium of up to 5%. A further Act notified on 31 December 2025, deemed in force from 3 November 2025, deletes the proviso to section 8B and adds section 9(4): past transfers and partitions from 15 November 1965 to 15 October 2024 are regularised without premium where the land is used for bona fide non-agricultural purposes inside listed urban, planning-authority, cantonment and regional-plan zones (TeamLease RegTech; Bill text, PRS). The bill did not change the standard area or the general restrictions. In July 2025 the Revenue Minister said plots up to one guntha subdivided before 1 January 2025 would be treated as legal, and a committee was set up the following week (The Week, July 2025; The Week, July 2025). Plain farm land outside those zones is still bound by the standard area.
Non-agricultural conversion: The Maharashtra Land Revenue Code (Second Amendment) Act, 2025, notified on 31 December 2025, substituted section 42. The Collector’s permission is no longer needed to use agricultural land for a purpose that a draft or final Development Plan or Regional Plan allows; the planning authority’s development permission or building plan approval is enough, and sections 42A to 42D, 44 to 46 and the old assessment chapter were deleted (JSA, March 2026). The yearly non-agricultural assessment gives way to a one-time premium under section 47 on the Ready Reckoner value: 0.1% up to 1,000 sq m, 0.25% from 1,000 to 4,000 sq m and 0.5% above 4,000 sq m. A government resolution of 10 February 2026 implements the change (Khaitan & Co, February 2026). Neither note says the reform alters section 63, so our reading is that a non-farmer still cannot buy agricultural land first and convert it afterwards.
Ceiling on holdings: The Maharashtra Agricultural Lands (Ceiling on Holdings) Act, 1961 caps what one family unit may hold, from 18 acres of assured-irrigation land to 54 acres of other dry-crop land in a 2011 summary (Bombay Chartered Accountant Journal, April 2011). Section 63 uses two-thirds of that ceiling as the test for a buyer who is already a farmer.
Tribal land: Where the seller belongs to a Scheduled Tribe, the sale also falls under the Land Revenue Code and the Restoration of Lands to Scheduled Tribes Act, 1974 (section 63-1A text). Ask for the seller’s status in writing.
Land records: Digitally signed 7/12 (record of rights), 8A (khata) and ferfar (mutation) extracts now carry legal validity under rules made under the Maharashtra Land Measurement and Record Keeping Act, 2025, with a QR code and a 16-digit verification number, no Talathi stamp and a fee of Rs 15 each (Free Press Journal, December 2025). About 2.57 crore signed 7/12 records existed by June 2024, and e-Mojani 2.0 handles measurement (Elets, February 2025). Read the occupancy class, the holder’s name and the land-use entry before paying a token.
NRI and OCI buyers: The Reserve Bank’s Master Direction lets NRIs and OCIs buy immovable assets in India but excludes agricultural land, plantation land and a farmhouse, and its inheritance paragraphs carry no such exclusion (RBI Master Direction FED 12/2015-16, updated to September 2022). A farmhouse plot is therefore out of reach by purchase, wherever it sits in Maharashtra. Anyone relying on a later circular should read it directly. We did not open the 2023 standard-area notification, the text of section 63A or the current ceiling schedule, so have an advocate check all three against the survey number.

Nagpur — district-specific notes
The Maharashtra state page applies to Nagpur in full. The notes below are specific to this district and repeat only the state-wide rules that matter most. Law was read from Act texts, court reports and law-firm notes; the Mahabhumi portal and the Inspector General of Registration rate pages could not be opened, and the notes say so where it matters.
⚠ Section 63 of the Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948 makes a sale of agricultural land to a non-agriculturist invalid unless an exception applies or the Collector permits it (Indian Kanoon, Act text), and the 2016 amendment lifts the bar inside Municipal Corporation limits (PRS, Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act, 1948 (as amended)). On 8 July 2026 the Revenue Minister told the Assembly that only recognised farmers may buy and that buyers must show proof of farmer status; no new statute was named (IANS via The Hawk, July 2026). The state page notes that Vidarbha has its own parallel tenancy Act; that is our reading of the Acts’ names, so ask the Tehsildar which Act and section governs a given village.
⚠ Non-agricultural conversion changed on 31 December 2025, when the Land Revenue Code (Second Amendment) Act replaced section 42: the Collector’s permission is not needed where a Development Plan or Regional Plan permits the use, and a one-time premium of 0.1%, 0.25% or 0.5% of the Ready Reckoner value by plot size (up to 1,000 sq m, 1,000 to 4,000 sq m, above 4,000 sq m) replaces the yearly assessment (JSA, March 2026). A government resolution followed on 10 February 2026 (Khaitan & Co, February 2026). These are law-firm reports and we have not read the Gazette text.
⚠ The Prevention of Fragmentation Act, 1947 sets standard areas below which a plot cannot be freely split or sold. A law-firm summary of the 8 August 2023 notification puts them at about 0.25 acre for bagayat (garden or irrigated) land and 0.5 acre for jirayat (dry) land outside corporations and councils, which is about 10 and 20 gunthas on our arithmetic (Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas via Conventus). The 2025 amendment regularises some past transactions between 15 November 1965 and 15 October 2024 without premium in listed zones (TeamLease RegTech, December 2025). We did not open the notification, so ask for the 7/12 extract and the surveyed area of any small plot.
⚠ Two land-acquisition programmes sit on the Nagpur belt. The state announced the New Nagpur international finance and business centre in Hingna taluka (Gothangaon and Lagaon villages), where villagers asked at a public hearing for 12.5% of their land back as developed plots and acquisition had not started in September 2025 (The Hitavada, September 2025). In May 2026 the state allocated ₹5,400 crore for land acquisition, ₹3,000 crore for New Nagpur and ₹2,400 crore for the Outer Ring Road, and the report says compensation rates were not yet decided (Navbharat Live (Hindi outlet), May 2026). Ask the Nagpur Metropolitan Region Development Authority and the Land Acquisition office whether a survey number is in either footprint.
⚠ The Maharashtra Agricultural Lands (Ceiling on Holdings) Act, 1961 limits what one family may hold; a 2011 journal note gives limits from 18 to 54 acres by land class (BCAJ, Ceiling Act note). We did not open the current schedule, so check it before assembling a large holding.
⚠ A seller who belongs to a Scheduled Tribe has extra protection under section 63-1A of the 1948 Act (Indian Kanoon, section 63-1A); we found no list of notified Scheduled Area villages for Nagpur, so ask the Tehsildar whether the recorded holder is a tribal member. The CGWB booklet lists 1,350 sq km of forest for 2000-01 (CGWB Nagpur district booklet). We found no district-specific eco-sensitive-zone or tiger-reserve-buffer notification in the sources opened, so ask the Forest Department’s divisional office for a written status on any parcel near a forest block.

District overview
Nagpur — a Vidarbha district with a metro extension, a planned business centre and a ring road
Nagpur district covers 9,892 sq km in the CGWB booklet and has 14 talukas, with the Wardha and Wainganga river systems draining it (CGWB Nagpur district booklet). The district portal gives 46,53,570 people without naming the census year (Nagpur district portal), so we show it as the portal’s figure.
We found no registered-deed series for farm land and no village-wise Ready Reckoner figure; the state kept the 2026-27 rates unchanged (The Hitavada, April 2026). The estimated bands on this page run from about ₹6 lakh to ₹2.5 crore per acre*: the Hingna belt sits at the top and the interior talukas at the bottom. They are wide and indicative.
Nagpur is the western end of the 701 km Samruddhi Mahamarg, whose last stretch was inaugurated on 5 June 2025 (The Week, June 2025). Nagpur Metro Phase 2 adds 43.8 km and 32 stations (Swarajya, June 2026), and New Nagpur and the Outer Ring Road are in land-acquisition planning (Navbharat Live (Hindi outlet), May 2026).

Article 25 of the Maharashtra Stamp Act as amended to May 2019 gives 5% plus 1% in municipal corporation and council areas, a further 1% levy from 8 February 2019 in notified areas, and 4% in gram panchayat areas, with a registration fee of 1% capped at Rs 30,000 (Maharashtra Stamp Act, Article 25 (amended to May 2019); Free Press Journal, May 2025). We could not open the current rate schedule on the Inspector General of Registration’s site (Inspector General of Registration, Maharashtra), so treat these figures as reported and ask the Sub-Registrar for the schedule in force. The Ready Reckoner for 2026-27 was left unchanged from 2025-26 (The Hitavada, April 2026; IANS via Investment Guru India, April 2026); we did not find a village-wise rate for this district. A 27 May 2026 report of a cabinet exemption on land purchases did not state its scope, so no exemption is assumed here.
Know the belt
What is moving prices in Nagpur
Metro, ring-road and acquisition news, plus wide indicative price bands marked *. No registered-deed series was found.
Hingna and the New Nagpur belt
Estimated land price*: ₹60 lakh–₹2.5 crore per acre
Hingna taluka is the site of the planned New Nagpur finance and business centre, and the Metro Phase 2 reaches include Hingna (Swarajya, June 2026). We found no official rate or award, so the band is a wide estimate from comparable corridors and is not a deal price.
Check: whether the survey number is inside the New Nagpur or ring-road footprint.
Kamptee, Mouda, Kalmeshwar and Saoner
Estimated land price*: ₹25 lakh–₹1.2 crore per acre
These talukas sit on the metro, ring-road and Samruddhi sides of the city; the Kamptee corridor of Phase 2 is 13 km with 12 stations (Swarajya, January 2025). The band is a wide, indicative range.
Check: distance to the nearest interchange or metro station, and the access road in the record.
Ramtek, Parseoni, Narkhed, Katol, Umred, Kuhi and Bhiwapur
Estimated land price*: ₹6–30 lakh per acre
These are the main farm talukas, with soyabean, pulses, jowar, rice and cotton among the crops listed in the CGWB booklet (CGWB Nagpur district booklet). The band is a wide, indicative range.
Check: irrigation source, forest status and the standard-area position of small plots.
Ready Reckoner 2026-27
Unchanged from 2025-26
The state held its Ready Reckoner rates steady for 2026-27 (The Hitavada, April 2026); a 2025-26 rise averaged 3.89% statewide and 3.36% in rural areas (IANS via Investment Guru India, April 2026). No Nagpur village figure was found.
Check: the rate for the village on the deed date.
Units: acres, gunthas, hectares and local terms
Maharashtra records use acres, hectares and gunthas: a Legislative Assembly report cites 1 guntha as about 1,089 sq ft, and 40 gunthas make an acre on our arithmetic (The Week, July 2025). Sellers may also quote other local units that differ by taluka, so convert every quote to acres or hectares (1 hectare = 2.47 acres) before comparing two offers.

Agriculture & terrain
Soil, crops & water in Nagpur
A soyabean, pulse, jowar and cotton district on black cotton and loamy soils, irrigated mainly from dug wells, with groundwater development at 38.5% in an older booklet.
🌾 Soil and crops
The CGWB booklet names medium to deep clayey black cotton soils, medium loamy alluvial soils and shallow sandy-clayey red soils. For 2010-11 it lists soyabean on 2,069 sq km, total pulses on 936, jowar on 525, rice on 434, cotton on 374, fruits on 343 and wheat on 310, against a net sown area of 5,074 sq km for 2000-01 (CGWB Nagpur district booklet). These are old figures.
- Soyabean
- Pulses
- Jowar
- Cotton
💧 Irrigation
The booklet’s 2006-07 minor irrigation census lists 69,695 dug wells and 14,589 surface lift schemes (printed as “Kift” in the booklet), with net irrigated area of 183,254 hectares (CGWB Nagpur district booklet). Wells and lift schemes carry most irrigation, so water access varies by village.
- Dug wells
- Lift schemes
- Surface flow
- Bore wells
🌊 Rivers and forest
The Wardha and Wainganga systems drain the district, with the Kanhan, Wena and Nag as named tributaries. The booklet lists 1,350 sq km of forest for 2000-01 (CGWB Nagpur district booklet). Forest-edge and river-bank parcels need a written status from the Forest Department and the Collector.
- Wardha
- Wainganga
- Kanhan
- Forest
💧 Rainfall & groundwater
The CGWB booklet gives normal rainfall of 1,000 mm to 1,200 mm, based on 1901-1992 data. It states groundwater development at 38.54% for dynamic resources as on 31 March 2004, while its taluka table is labelled March 2009, so the reference year is inconsistent (CGWB Nagpur district booklet). The newer source is the CGWB 2024 statewide assessment: 52.99% for Maharashtra, with 8 of 359 assessment units over-exploited, 7 critical and 41 semi-critical (CGWB Maharashtra report, 2024); we did not find Nagpur taluka figures from it.
📐 Measurement units
Records use hectares, acres and gunthas (1 guntha is about 1,089 sq ft and 40 gunthas make an acre); sellers may quote other local units, so convert every quote before comparing offers (1 hectare = 2.47 acres). Live mandi prices are on Agmarknet (not opened for this page); price a parcel on location and permitted use, not on crop income.

Farmland India view
Why investors look at Nagpur
Five reasoned points, with an honest note that the price evidence is thin and most catalysts are still in planning or construction.
The Samruddhi end is open
The Mumbai–Nagpur expressway was fully inaugurated in June 2025 (The Week, June 2025). It is a working road, which is firmer ground for pricing than corridors still being acquired.
A metro extension under construction
Phase 2 reaches Kanhan, Hingna, MIDC ESR and Transport Nagar over 43.8 km (Swarajya, June 2026). The 2025 target of December 2027 came from a January 2025 report, so check the current date.
A planned business centre and ring road
The state approved ₹5,400 crore for land acquisition for New Nagpur and the Outer Ring Road in May 2026, with compensation rates still undecided (Navbharat Live (Hindi outlet), May 2026). Acquisition fixes the footprint before it fixes the price.
Wide spread of land values
The Hingna belt and the interior talukas sit far apart, so the estimated bands* span about ₹6 lakh to ₹2.5 crore per acre. Location against a corridor matters more than taluka averages.
A paperwork-led market
Farmer-status checks, the Vidarbha tenancy Act, the standard-area rule and acquisition notices are all parcel-specific. The return case rests on location and permitted use, not on crop yield.
Confirm land-use, farmer-status and ready-reckoner details directly; these are not certified by Farmland India’s review.
STRAIGHT TALK
Risks & challenges in Nagpur
Read these before shortlisting in Nagpur specifically.
Farmer-only purchase rule
Section 63 bars a non-agriculturist from buying agricultural land unless an exception applies or the Collector permits it (Indian Kanoon, Act text), and the Revenue Minister said in July 2026 that buyers must show proof of farmer status (IANS via The Hawk, July 2026). Vidarbha’s parallel Act is our reading of the Acts’ names.
Acquisition with undecided compensation
A May 2026 report says compensation rates for New Nagpur and the Outer Ring Road were not decided (Navbharat Live (Hindi outlet), May 2026). Get the notified footprint before paying a deposit.
Standard-area and fragmentation limits
Small plots may fall below the standard area for jirayat or bagayat land (Cyril Amarchand Mangaldas via Conventus). Ask for the 7/12 and the surveyed area.
Stamp duty schedule unconfirmed
The figures on this page come from an Act text amended to May 2019 (Maharashtra Stamp Act, Article 25 (amended to May 2019)); the current schedule was not opened. No Nagpur village rate was found.
Dated timelines
The metro completion target of December 2027 comes from a January 2025 report (Swarajya, January 2025) and the newer June 2026 report gives no date. Price on today’s fundamentals.
Data conflicts and no deed series
The district portal gives a population without a census year, the CGWB booklet gives groundwater development for two different reference years, and the price bands on this page are indicative estimates*, not deal prices. Collect registered comparables in the same revenue village before negotiating.
Who to contact
Local revenue, planning & forest offices
Mutation and revenue-record matters go through the Tehsildar of the relevant taluka (the CGWB booklet lists 14 talukas, see section 1), under the District Collector, Nagpur. Sale-deed registration is handled by the local Sub-Registrar, land-acquisition notices by the Deputy Collector (Land Acquisition), planning questions in the metropolitan region by the Nagpur Metropolitan Region Development Authority, and forest status by the Forest Department’s divisional office. Land records are on the Mahabhulekh portal. We opened the district portal home page (Nagpur district portal) but not the Mahabhulekh, Inspector General of Registration rate or authority pages, so check them directly.

Frequently asked questions
Everything buyers, NRIs and investors ask before their first reviewed farmland purchase in Nagpur.
Visit full wiki01 of 04
What does farm land cost in Nagpur?
Our estimate is about ₹6 lakh to ₹2.5 crore per acre*, depending on the belt: roughly ₹60 lakh to ₹2.5 crore in the Hingna and New Nagpur belt, ₹25 lakh to ₹1.2 crore around Kamptee, Mouda, Kalmeshwar and Saoner, and ₹6–30 lakh in the interior farm talukas. These are wide, rounded, indicative estimates, not a valuation or an offer. Prices vary by plot, road access and title, so check the Ready Reckoner rate with the Sub-Registrar.
02 of 04
Can a non-farmer buy agricultural land in Nagpur?
Generally no. Section 63 of the Maharashtra Tenancy and Agricultural Lands Act makes a sale of agricultural land to a non-agriculturist invalid unless an exception applies or the Collector permits it (Indian Kanoon text). On 8 July 2026 the Revenue Minister said buyers must show proof of farmer status (IANS via The Hawk, July 2026). Vidarbha has a parallel tenancy Act, which is our reading of the Acts’ names, so ask the Tehsildar which Act governs the village.
03 of 04
What is the status of Nagpur Metro Phase 2?
Phase 2 has four reaches over 43.8 km with 32 stations, and its estimate of ₹6,708 crore is expected to pass ₹7,000 crore if a Kamptee extension is approved (Swarajya, June 2026). A January 2025 report said officials expected completion by December 2027 and about 80% of the land was acquired (Swarajya, January 2025); the June 2026 report gives no date, so check with the metro company.
04 of 04
What are New Nagpur and the Outer Ring Road?
New Nagpur is a planned finance and business centre in Hingna taluka, and the Outer Ring Road is a separate project; in May 2026 the state allocated ₹3,000 crore and ₹2,400 crore to their land acquisition, and the report says compensation rates were not yet decided (Navbharat Live, May 2026).

Data-currency note: area, taluka list, crop and irrigation figures come from the CGWB booklet (crop data 2010-11, net sown area 2000-01, irrigation data 2006-07) and are old; the district portal gives a population without a year. Infrastructure statuses were read in October 2026 and change quickly; the metro timeline dates from January 2025. Stamp duty and Ready Reckoner items are reports or an amended-to-2019 Act text, not a current schedule. Estimated land prices are indicative and are not taken from any registered deed. Pages marked “not opened” are named only as places to check. This is a general guide, not legal advice. Report inaccuracies to wiki@farmlandindia.com.
