District overview

Bundi — a canal-fed wheat and mustard district across the Chambal from Kota

Bundi is a south-eastern Rajasthan district of 5,550 sq km and 11.1 lakh people (2011) (CGWB, 2018). The Chambal forms its eastern boundary with Kota (MSME profile, c. 2012). Limestone and sandstone are the main minerals, and the MSME profile lists handloom, handicraft and Basmati-rice clusters.

We publish no per-acre price band for Bundi. Listing-site asking prices could not be traced to registered deals, and no village-wise DLC list for the district was opened. Statewide, DLC rates rose about 10% in April 2026 and by 5% to 49% in listed areas from 3 August 2026 (Patrika, August 2026; the report is in Hindi).

On the land itself, Bundi is unusually well watered for Rajasthan. Net irrigated area was 2,56,356 ha in 2023-24 against 2,69,215 ha net sown, with canals supplying 1,18,943 ha and tube-wells 1,03,176 ha (Agricultural Statistics 2023-24). Wheat and mustard dominate, and IMD recorded 1,251.6 mm in the 2025 monsoon against a 644.4 mm normal (IMD, 2025).

The surcharge cap was raised from 10% to 20% by the Rajasthan Stamp (Amendment) Bill, 2018 (PRS, Bill 18 of 2018; The Tribune, September 2018). The rate notified today is not confirmed, and the base stamp duty and registration fee for a sale deed could not be traced, so none is quoted for Bundi. Deeds are registered through the Registration and Stamps Department's ePanjiyan system (NeGD listing). Patrika reported that DLC rates rose about 10% in April 2026 and by 5% to 49% in listed areas from 3 August 2026 (Patrika, August 2026; the report is in Hindi), and in December 2024 irrigated agricultural land in rural areas rose by up to 50% with agricultural registration moving to hectares (Patrika, December 2024). Since July 2024, Rule 57 of the Stamp Rules lets the registering officer inspect the land and value open land and structures separately (TeamLease RegTech, July 2024). The current schedule and the village DLC rate should be taken from the Sub-Registrar.

Know the belt

What is moving prices in Bundi

There is no sourced price series for Bundi. The cards below show the DLC schedule, mining land, the ERCP link and units.

DLC schedule

5% to 49% in listed areas from 3 Aug 2026

Patrika reported that DLC rates rose about 10% in April 2026 and by 5% to 49% in listed areas from 3 August 2026 (Patrika, August 2026; the report is in Hindi). We did not open a Bundi list, so we cannot say which villages were revised.

Check: the village's DLC rate at the Sub-Registrar, dated to the registration month.

Canal-irrigated farmland

Reported irrigation, not a price

Canals irrigate 1,18,943 ha net and tube-wells 1,03,176 ha, which is the main agricultural difference from rain-fed Rajasthan districts (Agricultural Statistics 2023-24). The statistics say nothing about land rates.

Check: recent registered deals in the same revenue estate before negotiating.

Mining and cement belt

Limestone and sandstone

Limestone and sandstone mining and a cement plant at Lakheri are documented (MSME profile, c. 2012; Indian Minerals Yearbook 2021). Leased mineral land is not ordinary farmland.

Check: the lease position of any khasra near a quarry.

Asking prices

No sourced price series

Listing-site asking prices for Bundi could not be traced to registered sales, so none is shown.

Check: registered sale deeds in the same revenue estate before negotiating.

Units: acres, hectares and local measures

Agricultural registration in Rajasthan moved to hectares in December 2024 (Patrika, December 2024). Local measures still differ between tehsils and villages, and we did not source a conversion table, so convert every quoted area against the jamabandi before comparing offers.

Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh signed an MoU with the Jal Shakti Ministry on 28 January 2024. On 12 December 2024 the Ministry told the Lok Sabha the project was at DPR stage with no cost estimate or date, and named 21 Rajasthan districts to benefit, among them Bundi (Lok Sabha, December 2024). A December 2025 report said the Rajasthan DPRs were under Central Water Commission appraisal and the project was not being considered as a national project (NBM&CW, December 2025). The list uses the pre-2025 district names.

Agriculture & terrain

Soil, crops & water in Bundi

A canal- and tube-well-irrigated wheat and mustard district at the Chambal, with groundwater records that conflict inside the same booklet.

🌾 Crops (cropped-area shares, 2023-24)

Wheat takes 28.22% of cropped area, rapeseed and mustard 17.26%, maize 5.89% and gram 4.44%; net sown area is 2,69,215 ha, gross cropped area 5,03,115 ha and 2,33,900 ha is sown more than once (Agricultural Statistics of Rajasthan 2023-24). The 2018 booklet also lists rice, coriander, red chilli, garlic, soybean, sugarcane and vegetables (CGWB, 2018).

  • Wheat
  • Mustard
  • Maize
  • Gram
  • Coriander

🟤 Soils and terrain

The booklet lists lithosols and regosols on the hills, yellowish-brown soils at the foothills, recent alluvium, brown soils with a saline phase and black soils (CGWB, 2018). Village-level soil data was not opened.

  • Alluvium
  • Black soil
  • Foothill soils

⛏️ Minerals

Limestone and sandstone are the most important minerals; the profile also lists silica sand, marble, iron ore, clay, granite, slate, red ochre and barytes (MSME profile, c. 2012). Mining areas are leased and are a separate title question.

💧 Water & rainfall

Net irrigated area in 2023-24 was 2,56,356 ha, about 95% of net sown area by our arithmetic: canals 1,18,943 ha, tube-wells 1,03,176 ha, open wells 31,101 ha (Agricultural Statistics 2023-24). IMD recorded 1,251.6 mm against a 644.4 mm normal in the 2025 monsoon, 94% above (IMD, 2025). The 2018 CGWB booklet contradicts itself on groundwater: its resource table (as on 31 March 2013) gives a stage of 95.04% and lists Hindoli (115.34%) and Nenwa (115.8%) as over-exploited, Talera (69.67%) and Keshoraipatan (86.22%) as safe, while other pages give 174.11%, 118.78% and 65.26% (CGWB, 2018). The CGWB 2024 state report lists Bundi among districts with sporadic readings above the limits for salinity, fluoride and nitrate (CGWB, 2024). Ask for the current block category and check the borewell yield.

📐 Measurement units

Registered area is in hectares since December 2024 (Patrika, December 2024). Local measures differ between tehsils, so match every offer to the jamabandi area. We did not open Agmarknet, so no mandi price is quoted.

District report — Bundi

Farmland India view

Why investors look at Bundi

Five reasoned points, with an honest note that price evidence is thin and the infrastructure items are early-stage or adjacent.

Assured irrigation

Net irrigated area is about 95% of net sown area, and canals supply 1,18,943 ha (Agricultural Statistics 2023-24). That makes Bundi farmland a different proposition from rain-fed parcels elsewhere in the state.

Double-cropping

2,33,900 ha was sown more than once in 2023-24 against 2,69,215 ha net sown (Agricultural Statistics 2023-24), which points to intensive wheat and mustard farming.

Next to Kota

The Chambal separates Bundi from Kota (MSME profile, c. 2012), and the expressway tunnel scheduled near Kota is the nearest large project (Business Today, July 2026). No source ties it to Bundi land.

A named ERCP beneficiary

Bundi is on the Lok Sabha list for the Parbati-Kalisindh-Chambal link (Lok Sabha, December 2024), but the project is at DPR and appraisal stage with no date.

A market that rewards paperwork

Section 42, ceiling declarations, mining-lease checks and groundwater all turn on the individual parcel, so the buyers who do well read the jamabandi and the water record first.

STRAIGHT TALK

Risks & challenges in Bundi

Read these before shortlisting in Bundi specifically.

Conflicting groundwater records

The 2018 CGWB booklet gives stage-of-extraction figures from 65.26% to 174.11% on different pages, and its block table lists Hindoli and Nenwa as over-exploited (CGWB, 2018). Ask for the current block category and the borewell record.

Mining leases and quarry land

Limestone and sandstone are mined in the district (MSME profile, c. 2012). A khasra near a lease can carry access, blasting or title limits that the jamabandi does not show.

Forest and tiger-reserve edges

A tiger reserve lies near the Kota tunnel (The Tribune, June 2026). We did not source Bundi boundaries or eco-sensitive zones, so ask the Forest Department about any hill-edge land.

Section 42 and ceiling exposure

A sale of khatedari land by an SC or ST member to someone outside the community is void under Section 42 (Tenancy Act), and holdings above the ceiling cannot be acquired (Ceiling Act). Irrigated land is subject to the lower ceiling tiers.

ERCP is not under construction

The link was at DPR stage in December 2024 and under appraisal a year later (Lok Sabha, December 2024; NBM&CW, December 2025). Price a parcel on today's fundamentals.

District reorganisation

The district map changed in 2023 and again on 28 December 2024 (Scroll, December 2024). The ERCP list uses pre-2025 names, so check which district and Sub-Registrar office a village now falls under.

No sourced price series

We use no listing-site prices for Bundi, and DLC rates changed in April and August 2026 (Patrika, August 2026). A valuation agreed in spring may not match the schedule at registration.

Who to contact

Local revenue & registration offices

Conversion of rural agricultural land is decided by the Tehsildar, Sub-Divisional Officer, Collector or State Government, depending on use and plot size (Rule 9, Revenue Department rules, 2019 compilation). Sale-deed registration is handled by the Sub-Registrar office under the ePanjiyan system, which feeds eDharti land records for agricultural deeds (NeGD listing). The District Collector's office coordinates revenue matters for the district. Mining questions go to the Mines Department and forest-edge questions to the Forest Department. The district portal, the Revenue Department portal and ePanjiyan were not opened for this page, so office locations and tehsil jurisdiction should be taken from the department directly.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

Everything buyers, NRIs and investors ask before their first reviewed farmland purchase in Bundi.

Visit full wiki

01 of 04

Can an outsider buy agricultural land in Bundi?

On the texts we read, yes: the Ceiling Act and the part of the Tenancy Act we read contain no clause limiting purchase to farmers. Section 42 voids a sale by a Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe khatedar to a non-member, and the Ceiling Act caps a family's holding (18 or 27 acres irrigated, 48 to 175 acres unirrigated by zone). NRIs and OCIs cannot buy agricultural land under the RBI Master Direction. We read no later amendments, so confirm the current limits.

Farmland India ("the Platform"), operated by Bulk Procure Private Limited, is a digital marketplace for listing agricultural land, farmhouse and plotted development projects. The Platform is not a real estate broker, agent or intermediary under RERA or any other applicable law, and does not act for either party to a transaction.

Listings are submitted by developers, owners and their authorised representatives. Before publication, the Platform carries out a documentary review of the material supplied and records what was sighted. That review is limited to the documents made available to us at that time. It is not a title investigation, not a legal opinion, and not a warranty of title, approvals, or the accuracy of any information supplied by a lister. The Trust Score is an internal assessment produced from that review and is intended as a research aid, not as a guarantee of outcome.

Every buyer must carry out independent due diligence before any transaction — including verification of land records, encumbrance searches, approvals and regulatory compliance — through their own advocate and chartered accountant. Any legal or advisory professional introduced through the Platform is engaged directly by the user, on that professional's own terms; the Platform does not employ, supervise or accept responsibility for their work.
