Awadh Vihar Yojana Lucknow 2026: Location, Flats, Plots, PMAY Lottery & Prices
Awadh Vihar Yojana (also written Avadh Vihar Yojna) is a residential township of the Uttar Pradesh Awas Evam Vikas Parishad (UPAVP) on the Sultanpur Road side of Amar Shaheed Path, Lucknow, next to the Ansal API colony (Sushant Golf City). It is not an LDA scheme. It contains PMAY EWS flats, the Basera EWS flats, multi-storey enclaves such as Sarayu (Saryu) Enclave, premium plots in Sector 8, and Awadh Shilpgram. In 2026 UPAVP sold ready flats here first-come-first-served, re-auctioned Sector 8 plots at a reserve of about ₹71,000–₹75,000 per sq m, and drew a PMAY lottery on 6 July 2026.
Awadh Vihar is one of the few government townships in Lucknow where you can buy in three completely different ways: by lottery as an EWS family, by walking in and booking a ready flat, or by bidding for a ₹2-crore-plus plot. Each route has its own rules, and the resale market adds a fourth route with its own document risks.
This guide covers where the scheme is, what has been built in each part of it, the exact prices UPAVP has published, how to apply through each route, and what to check before buying from an existing owner.
Latest Update — 1 October 2026
Awadh Vihar Yojana is a largely built-out UPAVP township where sales now happen through lottery-based PMAY allotments, first-come-first-served (FCFS) sale of ready enclave flats, and e-auction or registration rounds for Sector 8 plots. The latest PMAY lottery for vacant flats in Awadh Vihar, drawn together with UPAVP's Kankaha, Anaura Kala and Jahirpur PMAY schemes, was held on 6 July 2026 at the Awadh Shilpgram hall, and the result is on upavp.in. Sector 8 plots were last re-auctioned on 16 April 2026 after the 25 March 2026 auction drew only one bid. We cannot confirm any open Awadh Vihar registration window as of this date, so check the "Ongoing Registration" section of upavp.in before acting on any offer.

Where Exactly Is Awadh Vihar Yojana?
Awadh Vihar Yojana lies on the south-eastern edge of Lucknow, along Amar Shaheed Path where it meets the Sultanpur Road corridor. Amar Ujala's reporting places the scheme on Sultanpur Road along Shaheed Path, next to the Ansal API colony that most residents know as Sushant Golf City. Property portals often tag it loosely as "Gomti Nagar" or "Sultanpur Road"; the administrative facts are more precise. The UP RERA record for the Sector 10B PMAY project lists the tehsil as Sarojini Nagar, and addresses inside the scheme commonly name the revenue village Ghuswal Kalan.
Shaheed Path is a 23.55 km, four-lane outer road linking Kanpur Road with Ayodhya Road via Raebareli Road and Sultanpur Road. That position is the scheme's main advantage: residents reach the Kanpur Road side, the airport side and the Ayodhya Road side without entering the old city.
Distances published for the scheme
For Sarayu Enclave inside Awadh Vihar, the figures published with UPAVP's FCFS offer are:
Actual drive distances differ by sector, so measure from the exact plot or tower you are considering.
Is there a metro station near Awadh Vihar?
No. No operational Lucknow Metro line serves Awadh Vihar Yojana, and the approved Phase 1B Blue Line (Charbagh to Vasant Kunj) does not come to this side of the city. Treat any advertisement that sells Awadh Vihar property as "near metro" with caution, and ask the seller to name the station and the distance.
Road connectivity in 2026
The Awadh Expressway (Lucknow–Kanpur Expressway) was inaugurated on 13 July 2026, and its Lucknow end connects to Shaheed Path. Because Awadh Vihar fronts Shaheed Path, residents can reach the expressway along the same outer road, though the entry point is on the Kanpur Road side of the city rather than next to the scheme.
Who Developed Awadh Vihar — LDA or Awas Vikas?
Awadh Vihar Yojana is a scheme of the UP Awas Evam Vikas Parishad, commonly called Awas Vikas or the UP Housing Board. It is not a Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) scheme. In practice this means:
- Allotment letters, sale deeds, transfer permissions and no-dues certificates for Awadh Vihar are issued by UPAVP, not LDA.
- Registrations and lottery results appear on upavp.in, not on ldalucknow.in or registration.ldalucknow.in.
- Payment schedules, instalment interest and discount rules follow UPAVP's terms for each offer, which differ from LDA's.
Awadh Vihar is also a different township from UPAVP's Vrindavan Yojana on the Raebareli Road side of Shaheed Path. Both belong to the same Parishad, but their sectors, offers and records are separate. For every Parishad township in the city, see our Awas Vikas schemes directory.
What Is Inside Awadh Vihar Yojana — 7 Components
Awadh Vihar is not one housing project; it is a township filled in phase by phase since the early 2010s. Here is each part, what happened to it, and what it means for a buyer today.
Basera-1 and Basera-2 — EWS Flats
UPAVP launched Basera-1 and Basera-2 for Economically Weaker Section families inside Awadh Vihar on Shaheed Path in 2013. Allotment was made in March 2014 and allottees were promised completion within two years. Construction was badly delayed, allottees protested, and completion was reported only in December 2020.
On a Basera resale, confirm the original allotment, proof of full payment and the registered deed are all in place. The six-year delay left many files incomplete.

PMAY Flats in Sectors 3, 7A and 10B
UPAVP opened registration on 20 March 2018 (closing 5 May 2018) for 4,752 Ground + 3 storey flats in Sector 3 Part-1, Sector 3 Part-2, Sector 7A and Sector 10B. Of these, 2,376 were reserved for the General category and 1,283 for OBC applicants, with the rest across SC, ST and other reserved categories. Eligible buyers received central assistance of ₹2.5 lakh per unit under PMAY-U.
The Sector 10B portion is registered with UP RERA as UPRERAPRJ15315, on 49,595 sq m of land, with a project cost of ₹100.45 crore and an original proposed completion date of 30 June 2022.
Many early allotments were later cancelled over incomplete documents or non-payment. UPAVP ran a re-registration from 9 March to 23 April 2024 that drew more than 7,000 applications, and in July 2025 held a lottery at Awadh Shilpgram that fixed house numbers for about 1,000 allottees. By January 2026, reporting indicated only about half of those registries had been completed.
A PMAY flat is not fully yours until UPAVP executes the registry. If you are an allottee still waiting, keep your allotment letter, payment receipts and demand letters together and follow up with the Parishad in writing.

PMAY Registration for Special Categories
In January 2026, UPAVP invited online applications for remaining PMAY flats in Sectors 3, 7A and 10B from three priority groups: 28 flats for senior citizens (General category), 11 for Scheduled Caste applicants and 1 for a Scheduled Tribe applicant. The window closed on 26 February 2026. Published terms:
| Term | Published figure |
|---|---|
| Carpet area | About 34.07 sq m |
| Total cost | About ₹6 lakh (₹2.5 lakh central assistance, about ₹3.5 lakh paid by beneficiary) |
| Registration amount | ₹5,000 |
| Illustrative EMI | About ₹3,237 per month over 15 years |
| Income limit | Annual household income up to ₹3 lakh |
| Other conditions | No pucca house owned by the family; no benefit under another housing scheme |

PMAY Lottery of 6 July 2026
UPAVP drew the lottery for vacant PMAY (Urban) flats in its Lucknow schemes — Awadh Vihar, Kankaha, Anaura Kala and Jahirpur — on 6 July 2026 from 11 am at the Awadh Shilpgram hall inside Awadh Vihar Yojana. Eligible and ineligible applicant lists were published before the draw, and the result was uploaded to upavp.in.
If you applied and were declared ineligible, the published ineligible list states the reason. Check it before reapplying in a future round so the same defect is not repeated.

Sarayu (Saryu) Enclave — Ready Flats, No Lottery
Sarayu Enclave is a block of G+9 RCC towers inside Awadh Vihar, and UPAVP has sold its unsold flats on a first-come-first-served basis with no lottery. Prices published for the FCFS offer:
| Unit type | Area (sq m) | Price range |
|---|---|---|
| 1 BHK Type A | 41.36 – 41.47 | ₹23.76 lakh – ₹29.82 lakh |
| 1 BHK Type B | 54.21 | ₹31.14 lakh – ₹32.07 lakh |
| 2 BHK | 78.52 – 105.17 | ₹44.98 lakh – ₹66.53 lakh |
| 2 BHK + store | 105.17 | ₹66.53 lakh – ₹68.52 lakh |
| 3 BHK + store | 152.08 | ₹95.58 lakh – ₹98.45 lakh |
| Full payment made within | General buyers | Defence & paramilitary (serving or retired) |
|---|---|---|
| 60 days of allotment | 15% | 20% |
| 61 – 90 days | 10% | 15% |
| 91 – 120 days | — | 10% |
General buyers could take possession after paying 50% of the cost; government employees and defence or security personnel after 25%. The balance could be paid in instalments at MCLR + 1%. The registration deadline published for that round was 31 March 2026.
UPAVP often extends or reopens FCFS offers with changed prices. Confirm current availability and the exact unit price on upavp.in before paying, and remember the discount windows start from the allotment date.

Other Enclaves in the Township
Apart from Sarayu, UPAVP built several river-named multi-storey enclaves in Awadh Vihar, including Gomti Enclave, Gangotri Enclave, Alaknanda Enclave, Jhanvi Enclave and Bhagirathi Enclave. These are now mostly owner-occupied or traded on resale.
Tower counts, unit counts and amenities quoted on property portals for these enclaves come from the portals, not UPAVP. Verify any figure you rely on against the allotment documents of the specific flat.
Awadh Shilpgram
Awadh Shilpgram is a red-sandstone crafts village and event complex built for UPAVP inside the scheme along Shaheed Path. It was completed in 2016 on a site of about 20 acres and designed by Archohm Consultants. Besides craft fairs and exhibitions, it is where UPAVP holds its Lucknow lottery draws, including the July 2025 and 6 July 2026 PMAY lotteries.
Awadh Vihar Plots: Sector 8 Premium Plots and E-Auctions
Because demand for flats in Awadh Vihar was weak, UPAVP shifted towards selling plots. In mid-2022 the Parishad prepared a proposal for about 300 plots: around 100 premium plots of 300 sq m in a gated pocket with its own boundary, entry gate and underground electricity, telephone and DTH cabling, sold on lump-sum payment, plus about 200 non-premium plots of 75 to 150 sq m.
The premium pocket is Sector 8. In April 2025 UPAVP opened registration for 86 Sector 8 plots — 16 of 300 sq m, 54 of 312.50 sq m and 16 of 343.75 sq m — until 30 April 2025. Every plot was priced above ₹2 crore.
Unsold Sector 8 plots then went to e-auction. After the 25 March 2026 auction received a single bid, UPAVP re-auctioned on 16 April 2026, with token deposit open from 27 March to 15 April 2026:
| Parameter | Sector 8 plots, April 2026 re-auction |
|---|---|
| Number of plots | 3 |
| Plot size | 312.5 sq m to 343.75 sq m |
| Reserve rate | ₹71,196 to ₹74,753 per sq m (about ₹6,614 to ₹6,945 per sq ft) |
| Total value at reserve | About ₹2.22 crore to ₹2.44 crore |
| Token amount | ₹11.11 lakh to ₹12.22 lakh |
| Special note | Corner plot No. 8/38 offered under the OBC category |
| Basis | As-is, where-is |
| Instalments | Allowed at MCLR + 1%; 2% compound interest on delayed payment |
The per sq ft figure is a straight conversion of UPAVP's per sq m reserve (1 sq m = 10.764 sq ft). The reserve is the minimum bid, not the final price, and stamp duty and registration charges are payable on top.
How to Apply for Awadh Vihar Property — 3 Routes
🎟️ PMAY flat (lottery)
- Watch "Ongoing Registration" on upavp.in for a notice naming Avadh Vihar Yojana.
- Check eligibility: income within the EWS limit in the notice (₹3 lakh in 2026), no pucca house in the family, no other housing-scheme benefit.
- Keep income certificate, Aadhaar, bank details and any caste or disability certificate ready.
- Register online and pay the registration amount (₹5,000 in 2026).
- Check the eligible list, then the lottery result on upavp.in.
🏢 Ready flat (FCFS)
- Open the current FCFS offer on upavp.in and note unit, floor and price.
- Visit the site — UPAVP staff show available units before booking.
- Register online and pay the booking amount; units go in order of registration.
- Decide on the early-payment discount quickly — the windows run from allotment.
📐 Plot (registration or e-auction)
- Read the auction notice and terms on upavp.in or the e-auction portal it links to.
- Register as a bidder and deposit the token within the stated window.
- Bid on the auction date; the highest bid stays provisional until UPAVP issues the allotment letter.
Pay only through the official UPAVP portal or the bank details printed in UPAVP's own notice. No agent can "reserve" a lottery flat or guarantee an auction result.
Buying a Resale Flat or Plot in Awadh Vihar — 7 Checks Before You Pay
Most buyers in Awadh Vihar today buy from an existing allottee, not from UPAVP. A Parishad resale is safe only when the chain from UPAVP to the seller is complete.
Original UPAVP allotment letter
In the seller's name, or the name of the person the seller bought from, with the correct sector, block and unit number.
📍 Seller's file + UPAVP estate officeRegistered sale deed executed by UPAVP
If the Parishad has not yet executed the deed, the unit cannot be conveyed by a normal private sale deed.
📍 Certified copy from the sub-registrar officePayment status and no-dues certificate
Instalment buyers may still owe principal and interest, and that liability travels with the property.
📍 UPAVP accounts / estate sectionTransfer recorded in UPAVP's books
Every earlier resale must be recorded with the Parishad so the seller is the owner UPAVP recognises.
📍 UPAVP transfer / mutation recordSale and letting conditions in the allotment terms
PMAY and EWS units are allotted to eligible families on specific conditions. Read them for any restriction before agreeing a deal.
📍 Allotment letter terms + scheme brochureEncumbrance search
Look for loans, agreements or disputes registered against the unit.
📍 IGRSUP portal or sub-registrar officePhysical match on the ground
Confirm the unit you are shown is the unit in the documents — especially in the Basera and PMAY blocks, where many units look identical.
📍 Site visit with documents in hand5 Warning Signs in an Awadh Vihar Deal
🚨 Sign 1 — Someone offers to "fix" a PMAY lottery or allotment
PMAY flats in Awadh Vihar are allotted by public lottery to applicants on UPAVP's eligible list. Nobody can sell you a guaranteed allotment, and payments go only to UPAVP.
🚨 Sign 2 — The papers are from LDA or a private developer
Every Awadh Vihar property traces back to a UPAVP allotment. If the chain starts with LDA or a private builder, it is not a Parishad property in Awadh Vihar Yojana, whatever the advertisement says.
🚨 Sign 3 — "Near metro" or other unverifiable location claims
No operational or approved metro line serves Awadh Vihar. A seller who makes this claim may be loose with other facts too.
🚨 Sign 4 — Price far from UPAVP's own published prices
UPAVP has published FCFS prices for comparable enclave flats and reserve rates for Sector 8 plots. A resale price far below those figures needs a documented explanation.
🚨 Sign 5 — Seller cannot produce the UPAVP sale deed or no-dues certificate
Without these, you may be buying an allotment with unpaid dues or an unfinished registry. Do not pay a token until both are seen and verified.
Common Confusions About Awadh Vihar Yojana
Awadh Vihar Yojana vs Awadh Expressway
The names are similar but the projects are unrelated. Awadh Vihar is a UPAVP housing township; the Awadh Expressway is the 63 km Lucknow–Kanpur expressway maintained by NHAI. The only link is that both connect to Shaheed Path.
Awadh Vihar vs Vrindavan Yojana
Both are Awas Vikas townships on Shaheed Path, but they are separate schemes with separate sectors. Vrindavan Yojana is on the Raebareli Road side and has its own 20 sectors; Awadh Vihar is on the Sultanpur Road side next to Sushant Golf City.
Awadh Vihar vs LDA schemes on Sultanpur Road
LDA is developing its own projects on the Sultanpur Road corridor, such as IT City. Those are LDA schemes with LDA records, and they are separate from Awadh Vihar.
Is Awadh Vihar Yojana a Good Place to Buy?
👍 In its favour
- Government-planned township on Shaheed Path
- Ready flats — immediate possession on FCFS
- UPAVP is the counterparty on primary sales
- PMAY units are among the cheapest legal homes in Lucknow for eligible EWS families
⚠️ Points of caution
- History of construction delay (Basera) and incomplete PMAY registries
- Weak flat demand led to discounts of up to 15% for general buyers
- Sector 8 plots drew a single bid in March 2026 at about ₹6,600–₹6,900 per sq ft reserve
- No metro connectivity
None of these points makes Awadh Vihar a bad buy, but they mean the price you pay should be compared with recent UPAVP offer prices for similar units, and the documents should be checked line by line.
