🔴 549 Plots, 350 Owners — And Buyers Are Already Searching
- March 10, 2026 — LDA allotted 549 developed residential plots to original landowners in the IT City Phase 1 lottery at Mars Auditorium, Indira Gandhi Pratishthan, Lucknow
- Allottees received 25% of their contributed land as fully developed plots with roads, drainage, electricity, and sewage — not a one-time cash payment at circle rate
- Buyers with funds ready are actively searching for 1st allotment plots right now — but most allottees do not know the real market value of what they hold
Why Your IT City Plot is Worth More Than the Allotment Price
Here is a fact most first-time allottees miss: the plot you received through Land Pooling is not valued at its raw agricultural rate anymore. When LDA gave you back 25% of your contributed land as a fully developed residential plot — with wide internal roads, underground electric cabling, 24x7 street lighting, dedicated water supply, and proper sewage — the development itself added 3 to 5 times the original land value. Your plot is now a serviced residential asset in the middle of Lucknow's most ambitious urban project.
The Sultanpur Road corridor — where IT City sits — has seen consistent appreciation of 9–11% CAGR between 2020 and 2024. Kalli Pashchim, which borders IT City, has appreciated 151.4% in the last 3 years according to 99acres market data. Your plot sits in the epicentre of this growth, and the open market is willing to pay significantly more than what any village-level broker might quote you.
Current Market Value of IT City 1st Allotment Plots (April 2026)
The following table shows estimated current market values for each of the six plot sizes allotted in the Phase 1 lottery. Pre-development value refers to what the equivalent raw agricultural land was worth before LDA developed it. Current market rate is based on comparable sales along the Sultanpur Road corridor.
| Plot Size | Current Rate (April 2026) | Estimated Market Value |
|---|---|---|
| 35 sq m (377 sq ft) | ₹4,200–4,500/sq ft | ₹15.8 – ₹17.0 lakh |
| 72 sq m (775 sq ft) | ₹4,200–4,500/sq ft | ₹32.5 – ₹34.9 lakh |
| 128 sq m (1,378 sq ft) | ₹4,200–4,600/sq ft | ₹57.9 – ₹63.4 lakh |
| 162 sq m (1,743 sq ft) | ₹4,200–4,600/sq ft | ₹73.2 – ₹80.2 lakh |
| 200 sq m (2,152 sq ft) | ₹4,200–4,800/sq ft | ₹90.4 – ₹103.3 lakh (₹1.03 Cr) |
| 288 sq m (3,100 sq ft) | ₹4,500–5,000/sq ft | ₹1.39 – ₹1.55 Cr |

Why Buyers Are Calling Right Now — 4 Reasons Demand is High
At DSD Properties, we receive buyer inquiries for IT City 1st allotment plots every week. Here is why demand is unusually high right now:
Trust Factor — Clear Title
1st allotment plots come directly from LDA with verified documentation. No ownership disputes, no builder fraud risk. Buyers pay a 15–20% premium for this clarity over general market plots.
HCL SEZ Partnership
HCL Technologies is the anchor partner for the 100-acre IT/ITeS cluster. When IT professionals relocate, nearby residential plot rates typically jump 40–60%. Buyers want to lock in before this happens.
Infrastructure Already Built
Unlike buying a raw plot and waiting 3–5 years, IT City plots already have wide roads, underground cabling, 24x7 street lights, and drainage. Buyers pay premium to skip the waiting period.
Only 549 Plots Exist
Phase 1 has only 549 plots across Sectors 15, 16, 17, 18, and 30. Not all owners want to sell. This limited supply naturally pushes prices up — especially for corner and wide-road plots.
3 Red Flags — What NOT to Do When Selling Your Plot
Many original allottees are making costly mistakes that leave lakhs of rupees on the table. Here are the three most common ones we see at DSD Properties:
🚨 Do Not Sell at Local Broker Rates
Many village-level brokers are quoting ₹1,800–2,200 per sq ft for IT City plots. This is far below the real market value. They buy your plot and flip it within days at a ₹10–15 lakh profit that should have been yours. Always get a written valuation from a registered property consultant before accepting any offer.
🚨 Do Not Sell Without Encumbrance Certificate
Even if you received the plot directly from LDA, get an EC from the Sub-Registrar office before signing anything. This confirms there are no existing mortgages, liens, or legal claims on your plot. Without an EC, serious buyers will either walk away or demand a steep discount to compensate for the risk.
🚨 Do Not Skip Dakhil Kharij (Mutation) Verification
Your name must be updated in the Tehsil and LDA records before you can legally sell. If Dakhil Kharij is not complete, the Khatauni still shows the previous record — which creates a mismatch that delays or blocks the entire sale. Complete mutation first, then list your plot.

When is the Best Time to Sell? (2026–2028 Projection)
Every seller has different needs. Some need liquidity now, others can hold for maximum appreciation. Here is a realistic timeline of where IT City plot values are expected to go:
Early Buyer Interest — ₹4,200–5,000/sq ft
Prices are discovering a floor. Buyer interest is high because Phase 2 has not opened yet, so 1st allotment plots are the only way in. Good for sellers who want quick liquidity without waiting. Average closing time: 30–45 days.
Phase 2 Public Launch — ₹4,500–5,500/sq ft
LDA expected to open IT City residential plots for general public. Demand will spike as outside buyers enter the market at higher LDA launch rates, pushing resale values up. Good for sellers who can hold another 6–12 months.
HCL SEZ Operations Begin — ₹4,500–7,000/sq ft
Once HCL SEZ is operational and IT professionals start relocating to Lucknow, expect a sharp appreciation driven by rental demand and end-user purchases. Best for sellers with 2+ year holding power and no immediate cash requirements.
