What is LDA IT City Lucknow?
LDA IT City is a government-backed, integrated smart township on Sultanpur Road (NH-731), conceived as part of the larger CG City (Chak Gajaria City) master plan. At its heart is a dedicated IT/ITeS technology cluster of 100 acres (≈ 161 Bigha) — a ₹1,500 crore investment being developed as a Public-Private Partnership with HCL Technologies.
The project is built around a "Walk to Work" philosophy — meaning residents can live, work, study, and shop within the same township without daily commuting. It is the UP government's most serious attempt at creating a technology economy hub outside of Noida in the state.
"The dream of an IT City in Lucknow is set to become a reality soon. This project will give Uttar Pradesh a new identity."
— Awanish K Awasthi, Adviser to CM Yogi Adityanath, February 18, 2025Beyond the IT cluster, the full CG City scheme hosts residential plots, group housing, a Central Business District (CBD), IIIT Lucknow, Medanta-Avadh super-specialty hospital, Edutech City, and over 130 acres (≈ 210 Bigha) of dedicated green belt — making it one of the most comprehensively planned new townships in North India. As per the latest official LDA layout plan dated 7 March 2026 (architect: Asheesh Srivastava), the township is divided into 31 numbered sectors, served by a hierarchical road network from 100-metre master plan corridors down to 9-metre internal service roads.
Location & Connectivity — Sultanpur Road
LDA IT City sits on Sultanpur Road (NH-731), one of the fastest-growing urban corridors in Uttar Pradesh. As confirmed by the official layout plan, the township is sandwiched between Sultanpur National Highway and Kisan Path (150 m wide) — giving it dual arterial access. Its location hits a strategic sweet spot — close enough to established Lucknow infrastructure (airport, expressways, hospitals, malls) yet far enough to offer affordable, large-scale development land.

📍 How Well-Connected is LDA IT City?
- ~15 minutes from Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport via Amar Shaheed Path
- Direct frontage on Sultanpur Road (NH-731) with master plan road widths of 45m, 60m and 100m within the scheme
- Eastern boundary is the 150-metre wide Kisan Path — Lucknow's outer ring road, providing direct access to Faizabad Road and Raebareli Road

The 11 Villages Coming Under LDA IT City Acquisition
LDA IT City's land pooling and acquisition covers 11 villages in the Mohanlalganj tehsil of Lucknow district. The UP government has also imposed restrictions on private land purchase and sale in 10 of these villages to prevent land speculation and ensure smooth acquisition by LDA. If you own land in any of these villages, understanding your rights under the Land Pooling Policy is critical.
📍 LDA IT City — 11 villages correct location (verified by DSD Properties)
⚠️ Important for Landowners in These Villages
- Private land transactions in these villages are subject to government scrutiny due to acquisition restrictions
- Landowners who pooled land before January 31, 2026 received Phase 1 developed plots in the March 2026 lottery

Master Plan, Zones & Area Breakdown
LDA IT City is not merely a technology park — it is a full-spectrum, self-sufficient township. The master plan assigns dedicated zones for technology, housing, commerce, education, healthcare, and recreation. As per the official sector-wise layout map (revision dated 7 March 2026), the township is organised into 31 numbered sectors with a clear functional hierarchy:
🏘️ Residential / Plotting
Plotted residential sectors including Sectors 15, 16, 17, 18, 30 — Phase 1 plots already allotted.
🏛️ Public / Semi-Public (P/SP)
Schools, health centres, community parking, police stations, sub-stations distributed across sectors.
🛍️ Commercial
Multiple commercial pockets along master roads + dedicated CG City CBD with hotels and retail.
🏭 Industrial
Dedicated industrial blocks for IT/ITeS support, light manufacturing and tech back-offices.
🌳 Green Belt / Park
130+ acres reserved as green belt, parks, ponds, orchards, and future expansion green zones.
🏢 Group Housing
Multiple group housing sectors marked for high-rise apartments and gated community developments.
| Zone / Component | Area (Acres) | Area (Bigha) | Key Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total IT City Scheme | ~3,490 Acres | ~5,625 Bigha | Full CG City township across 31 sectors |

The CG City CBD alone generated individual plot bids as high as ₹180 crore for a single plot (CP-04).

For buyers in Phase 1 allotment, cross-check your sector and plot number against this official layout.
HCL Technologies Partnership & SEZ Status
Two factors give LDA IT City a decisive competitive edge over other Lucknow real estate projects — its PPP partnership with HCL Technologies and its Special Economic Zone (SEZ) designation. Both significantly de-risk the investment case for the entire IT City corridor.
The HCL Technologies Partnership
HCL Technologies — one of India's top-3 IT companies and a global Fortune 500 firm — is the anchor private partner for the technology cluster. HCL's involvement means:
🤝 What HCL Brings to IT City
- World-class IT park design benchmarked to international campuses
- HCL's vendor and client network attracts co-located Fortune 500 technology companies
- Strong credibility signal pulling mid-to-large IT firms planning a Lucknow base
- Operational management of the hi-tech Skill Development Centre
- "Walk to Work" campus design integrating residential and office spaces
- Global best practices in campus sustainability, connectivity, and safety
SEZ Status — Direct Tax Benefits for IT Companies
The IT City has been formally granted Special Economic Zone (SEZ) status. For any IT/ITeS company considering Lucknow, this is a major financial incentive:
💰 SEZ Tax & Financial Benefits
- 100% income tax exemption for the first 5 years of operation
- 50% income tax exemption for the subsequent 5 years
- Customs duty exemptions on all imported machinery, equipment, and capital goods
- GST concessions and duty drawbacks on exported IT and software services
- Simplified regulatory clearances under a dedicated single-window approval system
- Duty-free import of raw materials, components, and technology hardware
For investors and homebuyers: SEZ status means a sustained inflow of technology companies and skilled employees into the IT City corridor — directly translating into strong, long-term rental demand and capital appreciation for residential properties in surrounding areas.

Land Pooling Policy — How Farmers Benefit
LDA IT City uses a Land Pooling Policy — a farmer-friendly approach that is fundamentally different from traditional compulsory land acquisition. Instead of buying farmland at circle rates (which almost always undercompensates landowners), land pooling offers a genuine equity-sharing partnership.
Under the Land Pooling Policy, farmers who contribute their land to IT City receive 25% of their contributed area back as fully developed, serviced residential plots — no cash, real assets.
🌾 Land Pooling — Step by Step
- Farmer voluntarily signs a land pooling agreement with LDA to contribute their agricultural land to the IT City scheme
- LDA develops the pooled land — laying internal roads, water supply, sewage, parks, street lighting, and all civic amenities
- The farmer receives back 25% of their contributed land area as fully developed, plot-ready residential land
- Allotment is conducted through a transparent public lottery to ensure equal treatment for all participating farmers
- Farmers who signed agreements by January 31, 2026 were included in the Phase 1 lottery
- Phase 1 lottery was held on March 10, 2026 — 549 plots allotted across Sectors 15, 16, 17, 18 and 30
- A developed residential plot in an LDA IT City sector is worth significantly more than raw agricultural land

One of LDA IT City's strongest distinguishing features is its commitment to infrastructure-first development — civic amenities are being built as a pre-condition, not an afterthought.

- Multiple 33 KVA Electric Sub-Stations (ESS) distributed across sectors for reliable supply
