The project is set to become Uttar Pradesh's largest-ever residential scheme, covering an expansive 6,580 acres.

On Monday, LDA officials launched an acquisition drive in Dona and Tej Krishna Kheda villages, securing nearly 105 bigha of land. The authority has fast-tracked the process of marking and taking possession of agricultural land across multiple villages in Sadar Tehsil and Sarojini Nagar Tehsil.

According to LDA Vice Chairman Prathamesh Kumar, Varun Vihar will be the first and largest residential township in the state.

Key project details include:

• 15,000 residential plots to be developed

• 800 acres dedicated to green belts, parks, and water bodies

• Massive township layout aimed at meeting the housing needs of thousands of families

Integrated Township with World-Class Facilities

The Varun Vihar project will feature:
