Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has released a major update regarding its much-awaited and ambitious IT City Scheme. The project is being developed between Sultanpur Road and Kisan Path in Lucknow and will span a massive area of around 3,490 acres.
As per the latest information, the LDA IT City Scheme will be launched on 20 February 2025. Earlier, the launch was expected sooner, but it has now been slightly delayed.
In the first phase of the scheme:
35 square meter residential plots will be launched
Initially, these plots will be allotted to farmers
Plot allotment will be done through a lottery system
Proposed rate: ₹4,000 per square foot
The final price will be confirmed at the time of launch
Farmers who have provided their land under the Land Pooling Scheme will get first priority. Only those farmers whose land agreements are completed by 27 January 2025 will be eligible for the first-phase lottery.
So far:
Around 225–275 landowners have signed agreements
About 125 acres of land has been pooled
Proposals for another 150 acres are under consideration
Plots for farmers are being identified in Sectors 15, 16, 17, and 18 of the IT City Scheme.
The land for the IT City Scheme is being acquired from villages under Mohanlalganj Tehsil, including:
Bakka

Registration for the general public will begin after the completion of allotment to farmers.
According to sources, LDA and UP Housing Board may soon launch several new schemes:
