Buying Land in Bulandshahr

Bulandshahr — land purchase legal rules

⚠ Two checks come before any advance in Uttar Pradesh: the Revenue Code limit of 5.0586 hectares (about 12.5 acres) on what one person can acquire by purchase or gift, and the registry position in the DNGIR villages near Noida, where a purchase halt was reported in January 2024 and no later word was found. UP Revenue Code 2006, section 89; Sakshi Post, January 2024.

Bulandshahr — district-specific notes

⚠ A 74 km access-controlled link from the Yamuna Expressway near Film City to the Ganga Expressway near Siana crosses 56 villages, 48 of them in Bulandshahr district, in two phases. The Uttar Pradesh Cabinet approved a six-lane design, expandable to eight, on 4 August 2026 at Rs 8,585.51 crore (Swarajya, August 2026), and Business Today, citing the Times of India, reports that tenders have been invited (Business Today, August 2026). In July 2025 Swarajya reported that UPEIDA had banned land sales and purchases along the alignment (Swarajya, July 2025); we found no report saying when, or whether, that ban ended. Before paying an advance, ask the District Magistrate’s office for the acquisition notification and the alignment map for the exact survey number.

⚠ The Dadri-Noida-Ghaziabad Investment Region (New Noida) takes in 84 villages over 209.11 sq km, 63 of them in Bulandshahr district and 21 in Gautam Buddh Nagar; its first phase covers 37 villages, 24 of them in Bulandshahr (Millennium Post, July 2026). It was notified in October 2024 (Swarajya, July 2026), and a Noida Authority letter of January 2024 halted purchase and sale in the proposed villages (Sakshi Post, January 2024). We found no report on whether that halt still applies and no list of the Bulandshahr villages by name, so ask the Noida Authority or the District Magistrate’s office about the specific village. About 20 km of the airport link runs through the New Noida area (Business Today, August 2026).

⚠ Farmland is converted to non-farm use through Section 80 of the UP Revenue Code, 2006 (Revenue Code text, IGRS UP). A bhumidhar with transferable rights applies to the Sub-Divisional Officer, who must tell the applicant the decision within 45 working days; the text we opened says nothing about a declaration being deemed made if the officer stays silent. Ordinance No. 14 of 2026, deemed in force from 8 April 2026, adds that where a development authority, industrial development authority or similar body has approved a building, development or layout plan, the approval counts as a declaration under Section 80(2), with no fee and the revenue records to be updated within 15 days (PRS Legislative Research). Confirm which authority, if any, covers the village and whether the ordinance has since become an Act.

Prices: no sourced series

We publish no per-acre band for Bulandshahr, because the only figures available were listing-site asking prices, which cannot be traced to registered deals. The Stamp Department’s collector rates were not opened for this page: ask the Sub-Registrar for the village rate and for recent registered sales in the same village. Two reports of the DNGIR acquisition rate (Swarajya, July 2026 and Millennium Post, July 2026) disagree, so we show neither.

Land sales along the airport link

In July 2025 Swarajya reported that UPEIDA had banned all land sales and purchases along the proposed alignment, with no start or end date stated, and that district authorities had begun surveying affected plots (Swarajya, July 2025). We found no report of the ban being lifted or confirmed in 2026, so treat any village on the 56-village list as restricted until the District Magistrate’s office says otherwise.

Plots and small parcels

We found no sourced per-sq-yd price for plots near Bulandshahr, Khurja or Sikandrabad. Small plots near towns are a different product from farmland, and a plot sold inside a layout needs its approval checked with the development authority that covers the village, if any.

Ganga Expressway

The 594 km Meerut–Prayagraj expressway was inaugurated on 29 April 2026 (AIR, April 2026) and passes through Bulandshahr district (Swarajya, June 2026). We found no interchange list for the district and no registered-sale series that shows a price step beside the road, so treat any premium a seller quotes as a claim to test.

Khurja industry and freight

The district industrial profile lists UPSIDC industrial areas of 1,400 acres at Sikandrabad and 1,200 acres at Khurja, the latter acquired but not yet developed; the table is undated (industrial profile). The Prime Minister dedicated the 173 km double-line electrified New Khurja–New Rewari section of the Dedicated Freight Corridor on 25 January 2024, linking the Western and Eastern corridors (PMO, January 2024).

Which unit?

This page quotes per acre or per sq yd where it quotes anything. Ask for the area as recorded on the khatauni, in acres or sq m, and match it to the survey number before comparing two offers.

Connectivity

How Bulandshahr connects — road, rail, air and corridors

Bulandshahr’s link to Delhi and the NCR runs through Noida, its neighbour. Journey times vary with traffic and road works, so check a live route before planning visits.

Upcoming infrastructure & developments

Status labels maintained by the Farmland India research desk. Government-announced timelines — not guaranteed.

Acquisition along expressway alignments

Forty-eight Bulandshahr villages lie on the planned airport link, and a ban on sales along the alignment was reported in July 2025. Ask for the alignment map and notifications for the exact survey number.

DNGIR border villages

63 of the DNGIR’s 84 villages are in this district. A Noida Authority purchase halt was reported in January 2024 and we found no later word, so check the village before any advance.

Groundwater stress in some blocks

The 2022 categorisation lists four Bulandshahr blocks as over-exploited and five as critical, and CGWB found nitrate above limits in a third of shallow samples in 2011. Check current block status and test borewell water.

No sourced price series

Without a sourced series, any per-acre figure quoted to you is an asking price. Anchor to the tehsil, the road and registered sales in the same village.

Dated evidence

The industrial and groundwater data date from 2010 to 2013, and the 2011 Census is the latest full count. Collect several registered comparables for the same village.

Announced versus delivered

The Ganga Expressway is open, but the airport link is only at tender stage with a three-year target. Price a parcel on today’s access.

Which conversion route applies?

Section 80 of the Revenue Code and the 2026 ordinance set the route for non-farm use. Confirm which applies and whether a development authority covers the parcel.
