What is Wellness City Lucknow?
Wellness City is an LDA-developed integrated township on Sultanpur Road, conceived with a single core philosophy — build a city around human health and well-being, not just around commerce and housing.
Most new townships are built with housing first and hospitals added later as an afterthought. Wellness City reverses that. Here, 150 acres are reserved exclusively for healthcare — a super-specialty hospital, a medical college, diagnostic centres, a Vipassana centre, and meditation spaces. The housing, commercial zones, parks, and connectivity are all designed to support that healthcare core.
The project is part of LDA's larger push to build four brand-new townships in Lucknow — alongside IT City, Anant Nagar (Education City), and Prabandhnagar. All four were approved by LDA Chairperson and Divisional Commissioner Roshan Jacob.
"Wellness City will adhere to all international norms. People's living, treatment and other arrangements will be world class."
— Prathamesh Kumar, Vice-President, Lucknow Development AuthorityA ₹225 crore infrastructure tender has already been issued covering internal roads, sewage systems, water supply, electrification, and drainage — so development is not just on paper.
Location & Connectivity — Sultanpur Road
Wellness City sits on Sultanpur Road (NH-731), one of the fastest-growing urban corridors in all of Uttar Pradesh. It shares the same Sultanpur Road address as IT City — making this entire corridor one of the most infrastructure-heavy stretches of real estate in the state right now.

📍 How Connected is Wellness City?
- Sultanpur Road (NH-731) — direct 4-lane highway access, no urban bottlenecks
- Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport — ~15 minutes via Amar Shaheed Path
- Shaheed Path — direct link to Gomti Nagar, Vibhuti Khand, and city centre
- Phoenix Palassio Mall — Lucknow's highest-footfall retail destination, nearby
- International Cricket Stadium on Sultanpur Road — close proximity
- IT City (LDA's tech township) — directly adjacent on the same corridor
- Mohanlalganj — nearby, one of Lucknow's fastest-growing investment zones
- Kisan Path (Outer Ring Road) — connecting all major highways without city traffic
The Mohanlalganj area sits right alongside this corridor. Full guide: Mohanlalganj Lucknow: The 2026 Real Estate Investment Hotspot →
The 6 Villages Under Acquisition
Wellness City's land is being pooled and acquired from 6 villages along Sultanpur National Highway in the Mohanlalganj tehsil of Lucknow district. These are the officially confirmed villages as per LDA records:
⚠️ Important for Landowners in These Villages
- Farmers are receiving compensation at double the urban circle rate, plus developed residential plots
- Land pooling agreements are being signed — early participants get priority placement
- Private land transactions may be subject to government scrutiny — verify status before any sale
- Agricultural land requires conversion to residential before commercial sale
- Acquisition process was described as "nearing completion" by LDA in late 2024

Master Plan — Land Use & Zone Breakdown
LDA has released the official layout for Wellness City. Every acre is accounted for. Here is the complete land allocation as per the official plan:
| Zone / Use | Area (Acres) | Area (Bigha) | Area (Sq Ft approx.) | What Goes Here |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total Wellness City | 1,474 | ≈ 2,377 | — | Complete township on Sultanpur Road |
| Residential Plots | 76.83 | ≈ 124 | — | ~2,935 premium LDA plots, sold directly |
| Group Housing (Flats) | 362.41 | ≈ 584 | — | 10,000+ flats via private builders (PPP) |
| Healthcare Zone | 150 | ≈ 242 | — | Super-specialty hospital, medical college |
| Green Belt & Parks | 204 | ≈ 329 | — | Parks, gardens — 17% of total area |
| Roads & Transport | 253.67 | ≈ 409 | — | Wide internal roads, roundabouts |
| Commercial Zone | 57.10 | ≈ 92 | — | Shopping malls, Aminabad medicine market |
| Community Utilities | 45.44 | ≈ 73 | — | Powerhouses, tube wells, public amenities |
| Service Area | 48.95 | ≈ 79 | — | Essential services for residents |
Wellness City — Land Use Breakdown
Area in acres across all major zones (Total: 1,474 acres)
One notable fact — 253 acres dedicated to roads alone. This directly addresses Lucknow's biggest urban complaint: narrow, congested colony roads. Wellness City is designed from the ground up to be congestion-free.
7 Sectors Named After the Saptarishis
Wellness City's master plan divides the township into 7 residential and mixed-use sectors. In a unique cultural touch, each sector is named after one of the Saptarishis — the seven revered sages of Hindu tradition. This is a deliberate nod to the township's wellness and spiritual philosophy.
Sector 1 — Atri
Residential plots and green spaces.
Sector 2 — Bharadwaj
Mixed residential and community facilities.
Sector 3 — Gautam
Group housing and commercial zone.
Sector 4 — Jamadagni
Healthcare anchor zone.
Sector 5 — Kashyap
Residential and green belt sector.
Sector 6 — Vasishtha
Wellness, meditation and Vipassana zone.
Sector 7 — Vishwamitra
Commercial and medicine market zone.
Each sector will have its own sectoral shopping centre, vendor spaces, solid waste management system, and connectivity to the main arterial roads.
Healthcare — The Beating Heart of Wellness City
This is what makes Wellness City genuinely different from every other LDA township. 150 acres — over 10% of the entire township — is reserved exclusively for healthcare infrastructure. No other LDA colony in Lucknow's history has dedicated this much land to health.
🏥 What Healthcare Infrastructure is Planned?
- Super-specialty hospital — the anchor healthcare institution of the township
- Medical college — producing healthcare professionals within the township itself
- Diagnostic centres and pathology labs — integrated into the commercial health zone
- Vipassana Centre — for mindfulness, silent meditation retreats, and mental wellness
- Yoga and naturopathy institutes — preventive healthcare at the community level
- Meditation spaces and wellness fitness centres throughout the green belt
- Large medicine market — a dedicated pharmaceutical hub
The combination of a medical college + super-specialty hospital + medicine market in a single planned township means Wellness City has the potential to become a genuine medical tourism destination for Uttar Pradesh.
Plot Sizes in Sq Ft & Flat Details
LDA will sell approximately 2,935 residential plots in Wellness City directly through a lottery system. These plots range across six size categories — here they are in both square metres and square feet:
Plot Size Comparison — Wellness City
All 6 plot categories in square feet (LDA official sizes)
Group Housing — 10,000+ Flats
Alongside the plots, 362 acres are reserved for group housing where private builders will construct over 10,000 flats. LDA will auction these group housing plots to private developers — the PPP model ensures high-quality construction while LDA retains control over the land and layout.
🏢 Group Housing Key Facts
- 362.41 acres dedicated to group housing — the largest single land use in the township
- Over 10,000 flats to be built by private developers via LDA land auction
- PPP model — LDA controls land, private sector handles design and construction
- Multiple BHK configurations expected — catering to all income groups
- All group housing within a township with 17% green coverage and world-class roads
The Aminabad Medicine Market Relocation
Lucknow's Aminabad pharmaceutical market — the city's oldest and largest medicine hub — will be relocated to Wellness City. An entire pharmaceutical ecosystem — wholesale medicine distributors, diagnostic equipment suppliers, surgical instrument dealers — will move to a purpose-built, modern commercial zone.
💊 Why the Aminabad Relocation Matters
- Removes a major congestion source from old Lucknow's dense Aminabad area
- Gives Wellness City an instant commercial anchor with thousands of daily visitors from day one
- Creates a natural patient-to-pharmacy corridor — hospital → diagnostic → pharmacy all in one place
- Generates massive demand for residential and commercial property in surrounding areas
- Positions Wellness City as UP's premier pharmaceutical hub, not just a housing colony
Green Belt, Parks & Sustainability
Wellness City dedicates 204 acres (≈ 329 Bigha) — 17% of the entire township — to parks, green belts, and open spaces.
🌳 Green & Sustainability Features
- 204 acres of parks and green belt — 17% of total area reserved for greenery
- Tree-lined internal roads with median plantations throughout all sectors
- Green corridors connecting residential zones to the healthcare and wellness centre
- Underground electric cabling across the township — no overhead wires anywhere
- Rainwater harvesting systems integrated into all common areas and roads
- Eco-friendly construction standards mandated for all buildings within the scheme
- Wide roads at 253 acres — eliminating narrow lane congestion
- Separate vendor spaces in each sector — preventing hawker encroachment on roads
Land Pooling — What Farmers Are Getting
Like IT City next door, Wellness City uses the Land Pooling Policy — not compulsory acquisition at circle rate. LDA Vice-President Prathamesh Kumar confirmed that farmers here are receiving compensation at double the urban circle rate, plus developed residential plots from within the township.
"Land pooling offers 10-fold returns to farmers compared to circle rate cash compensation. A farmer who gets a developed plot in Wellness City will find it worth far more than raw agricultural land."
— LDA Vice-President, per official statements🌾 The Land Pooling Deal — What Farmers Get
- Cash compensation at double the urban circle rate — significantly above market floor
- Plus: a percentage of their contributed land back as fully developed residential plots
- Developed plots come with all civic amenities — roads, water, power, sewage
- LDA confirmed: negotiations with farmers are in progress, compensation rates are fixed
- Acquisition process described as "nearing completion" by LDA in late 2024

Price Estimates & Investment Analysis
Official LDA plot pricing for Wellness City has not yet been publicly announced. However, LDA sources indicate estimated plot prices are expected to range between ₹2,200 and ₹3,000 per square foot — this is the LDA launch price estimate, not resale market price.
⚠️ Price Disclaimer
- Official plot rates are under review at the UP state government level as of early 2026
- The ₹2,200–₹3,000 per sq ft figure is an LDA source estimate — not a confirmed official rate
- Current resale market prices in the Sultanpur Road corridor: ₹3,500–₹5,000 per sq ft
- LDA lottery prices are typically below prevailing market rates — the gap is where investor value lies
- Always verify current official rates at ldalucknow.in before any financial decision

✅ Why Wellness City Could Be a Strong Investment

- Official plot pricing not yet announced — financial planning difficult
- Land acquisition still in progress — timeline uncertainty
- Large-scale LDA projects historically face development delays
- Physical possession may take 2-4 years from allotment
- Immediate vicinity has limited existing amenities
- High demand means intense competition in the public lottery
Wellness City vs IT City — What's the Difference?
Both projects sit on Sultanpur Road, both are LDA-developed, and both are part of the same larger vision for Lucknow. But they are designed for fundamentally different purposes.

Township Size Comparison — Block area proportional to total acreage
Both on Sultanpur Road, Lucknow
The two townships are complementary, not competing. A doctor living in Wellness City can work in IT City's medical zone. An IT professional in IT City can access world-class healthcare in Wellness City. Together they form a self-sufficient urban cluster on Sultanpur Road.
