Lucknow: The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has officially launched the Varun Vihar Yojana 2026, with online registration now open for 2,847 residential plots in the first phase of the major township near the Agra-Lucknow Expressway.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath formally launched the Varun Vihar and Naimish Nagar township projects on September 24, 2026. Registration for the plots opened the same day and will remain open until October 24, 2026.
The Varun Vihar township is being developed over approximately 6,580 acres under the Chief Minister Urban Expansion Scheme. The latest first-phase offering covers plots in Kashi Khand, Kailash Khand Phase 1 and Kailash Khand Phase 2.
The reported plot rate is ₹2,800 per square foot, with plot sizes ranging from 112.5 sq m to 450 sq m.
The latest 2,847-plot inventory replaces the earlier 1,926-plot pre-launch figure used in previous reports. Fresh September 24 reporting identifies 2,847 plots for the Varun Vihar first phase, while the combined Varun Vihar and Naimish Nagar launch covers 4,520 residential plots.

The latest first-phase Varun Vihar inventory comprises 2,847 residential plots.
The plots are being offered across Kashi Khand, Kailash Khand Phase 1 and Kailash Khand Phase 2.
The reported size-wise distribution is:
| Plot Size | Number of Plots | Reported Registration Amount |
|---|---|---|
| 112.5 sq m | 1,517 | ₹1,69,470 |
| 162 sq m | 460 | ₹2,44,040 |
| 200 sq m | 612 | ₹3,01,280 |
| 288 sq m | 68 | ₹4,33,850 |
| 300 sq m | 81 | ₹4,51,920 |
| 450 sq m | 109 | ₹6,77,880 |
| Total | 2,847 | — |
The six categories add up to exactly 2,847 plots. The current distribution was reported after the September 24 launch.
This is an important update for readers who may have seen earlier Varun Vihar coverage.
Before the launch, LDA-related reports had identified 1,926 plots in the first phase, comprising:
1,218 plots in Kailash Khand
708 plots in Kashi Khand
That information was widely reported before registration opened.
However, the post-launch inventory now reported by LDA officials and September 24 coverage is 2,847 plots, covering Kashi Khand, Kailash Khand Phase 1 and Kailash Khand Phase 2.
Therefore, this article uses 2,847 plots as the current first-phase Varun Vihar figure.
The reported rate for the Varun Vihar residential plots is:
The rate has been reported for the Varun Vihar plotted development near the Agra-Lucknow Expressway.
The approximate basic plot cost based on ₹2,800 per sq ft is:
| Plot Size | Approx. Area | Approx. Basic Plot Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 112.5 sq m | 1,211 sq ft | ₹33.89 lakh |
| 162 sq m | 1,744 sq ft | ₹48.82 lakh |
| 200 sq m | 2,153 sq ft | ₹60.29 lakh |
| 288 sq m | 3,100 sq ft | ₹86.80 lakh |
| 300 sq m | 3,229 sq ft | ₹90.41 lakh |
| 450 sq m | 4,844 sq ft | ₹1.36 crore |
These are calculated estimates based on the reported ₹2,800-per-sq-ft rate and should not be treated as a substitute for the final amount payable under the LDA scheme conditions.
Applicants should separately check applicable registration, stamp duty, statutory and other charges.
The reported registration amounts for the different plot sizes are:
112.5 sq m: ₹1,69,470
162 sq m: ₹2,44,040
200 sq m: ₹3,01,280
288 sq m: ₹4,33,850
300 sq m: ₹4,51,920
450 sq m: ₹6,77,880
These amounts correspond to the current reported plot-size schedule for the 2,847-plot offering.
Applicants should distinguish these plot-linked registration amounts from the separate ₹1,100 portal registration fee reported for the LDA campaign.
A significant update after the launch is the payment preference.
According to the latest launch information, applicants selecting the one-time/full-payment option will receive preference in allotment.
Applicants should nevertheless read the precise payment and allotment conditions shown on the LDA portal before selecting the payment option.
The preference should not be interpreted as a guarantee of allotment.
Applicants can register online through the official LDA registration portal.
Visit the official LDA registration portal.
Select Varun Vihar Yojana.
Read the latest scheme conditions.
Review the available plot categories.
Enter the required applicant details.
Upload the documents requested by LDA.
Select the applicable payment option.
Pay the prescribed registration fee/amount.
Submit the application.
Save the application number and payment acknowledgement.
Monitor the LDA portal for the allotment/draw schedule and results.
Official registration portal: registration.ldalucknow.in
The registration window is scheduled to remain open until October 24, 2026.
The LDA campaign lists a separate ₹1,100 registration fee.
This should not be confused with the plot-linked registration amount shown for the different plot sizes.
Applicants should check the payment screen on the official LDA portal before completing the transaction.
The scheme has been described as a draw/lottery-based allotment rather than an auction.
Registration therefore does not itself mean that an applicant has secured a particular plot.
Applicants should retain:
Application number
Registration receipt
Payment acknowledgement
Login credentials
Submitted application details
until the allotment and subsequent payment process are completed.
The exact draw date should be taken from LDA's official announcement rather than assumed from the October 24 registration closing date.
The Varun Vihar Yojana is being developed near the Agra-Lucknow Expressway in Lucknow, around the Mohan Road/Dona area.
LDA's project page describes the township as approximately 6,580 acres near the Agra Expressway.
The broader development involves land identified across villages in the Sadar and Sarojini Nagar tehsils.
LDA identifies the following villages:
Bhaliya
Adampur Indwara
Bahru
Jaliyamau
Madarpur
Ibrahimganj
Naktaura
Gahlwara
Tejkrishna Khera
Rewari
Sakra
Dona
The exact location of an individual plot should be checked against the official layout and plot details.
One of the most significant new connectivity developments is a proposal to connect Varun Vihar more directly with the Agra-Lucknow Expressway.
LDA has reportedly sent a proposal to Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA/UPEDA) and the state government for a dedicated connection/ramp.
This is an important distinction:
The direct ramp is a proposal, not an already operational access road.
Therefore, applicants should not describe Varun Vihar as already having a dedicated expressway ramp until the project is constructed and operational.
The township is positioned near several major transport and urban infrastructure corridors.
Reported connectivity references include:
Agra-Lucknow Expressway
Kisan Path
Charbagh Railway Station
Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport
Hospitals
Medical colleges
Universities
The wider project is also being planned with improved public mobility and urban infrastructure.
Actual travel times and access to an individual plot should be checked separately because the township is being developed in phases.
Varun Vihar is substantially larger than the current plotted offering.
LDA describes the proposed township as covering approximately:
The broader plan includes:
Residential areas
Commercial development
Mixed-use areas
Institutional plots
Group housing
Parks
Green spaces
Water bodies
Sports facilities
Golf-course development
Logistics infrastructure
Underground utility services
LDA's project information describes 25 sectors and more than 15,000 planned plots in the larger development.
The latest launch description gives additional details about the planned facilities.
These include approximately:
800 acres of green belt, parks and water bodies
70-acre natural lake
20-acre sports hub
International-standard golf course
Central Business District
World-class education hub
Health and wellness centre
Approximately 300-acre logistics park
These are planned components of the township, not facilities that should automatically be described as completed or operational.
There are currently two LDA-linked figures in circulation.
The latest September 24 launch coverage describes approximately 800 acres of green belt, parks and water bodies, while LDA's broader project page separately says over 980 acres will be developed as green belts, parks and water bodies.
For the current launch article, the approximately 800-acre figure is used when describing the newly announced project features, while the 980-acre figure is retained as LDA's broader project-page planning figure.
The latest project description includes a proposed natural lake spread over approximately 70 acres.
The lake forms part of the larger open-space and environmental planning for the township.
It should be described as a planned facility, not an existing lake available to residents today.
The Varun Vihar township plan also includes an international-standard golf course.
The golf-course component forms part of the broader recreational infrastructure planned for the township.
A sports hub spread over approximately 20 acres is also part of the latest project description.
The sports hub is among the planned recreational facilities within the larger township.
Varun Vihar's larger master plan includes a proposed approximately 300-acre logistics park.
The logistics component is intended to support economic activity around the township and the wider Agra Expressway corridor.
LDA's project page confirms a logistics park of approximately 300 acres as part of the larger scheme.
The latest launch description expands the township's planned commercial and institutional infrastructure beyond residential plots.
The project includes plans for:
Central Business District
World-class education hub
Institutional development
Commercial areas
Health and wellness facilities
These components are intended to support a more self-contained urban development rather than a purely residential plotted colony.
A planned Health and Wellness Centre is also part of the latest Varun Vihar development description.
The wider township plan includes healthcare, education and commercial infrastructure alongside residential development.
The size of the overall township means development is being carried out in phases.
LDA's project information states that:
Registry of approximately 450 bighas has been completed.
Possession of approximately 105 bighas has been acquired.
Around ₹300 crore has been distributed as compensation to farmers.
Registration of land involving approximately 22,403 farmers is being undertaken in phases.
These figures show why applicants should distinguish between the current plotted offering and the much larger long-term township plan.
Two Varun Vihar components were previously identified as registered with UP-RERA.
RERA No.: UPRERAPRJ160133/07/2026
RERA No.: UPRERAPRJ733483/07/2026
The reported RERA registration date for both components is July 10, 2026, with a declared completion date of June 5, 2031.
These RERA registrations relate to specific registered components and should not be interpreted as the completion date for the entire 6,580-acre Varun Vihar township.
Readers should distinguish between the current registration inventory and the larger township plan.
| Particular | Current Phase | Larger Township |
|---|---|---|
| Plots | 2,847 | 15,000+ planned |
| Plot sizes | 112.5–450 sq m reported | Various |
| Sectors | Kashi/Kailash components | 25 sectors |
| Township area | Part of larger development | 6,580 acres |
| Development type | Residential plots | Residential + commercial + mixed-use + institutional + group housing |
| Logistics park | Part of wider plan | Approx. 300 acres planned |
| Green/open areas | Part of wider plan | 800 acres in latest launch description; LDA project page separately says 980+ acres |
This distinction is important because the 2,847 plots are only the current registration offering, not the total number of plots planned for Varun Vihar.
The September 24 launch covered two major LDA township schemes.
2,847 plots
1,673 plots
4,520 residential plots
The two townships together cover approximately 10,680 acres and were presented as a major urban-development project involving around ₹12,000 crore.
The 10,680-acre and ₹12,000-crore figures refer to the combined Varun Vihar and Naimish Nagar development, not Varun Vihar alone.
Alongside Varun Vihar and Naimish Nagar, LDA also launched/founded five apartment projects.
They include:
Park View — Basant Kunj
Lake View — Gomti Nagar
Vageshwari — Sharda Nagar Extension
Aditi — Anant Nagar
Aishbagh Square — Mill Road, Aishbagh
The five projects involve approximately 4,150 flats, with reported expenditure of around ₹2,166 crore.
These apartment projects are separate from the Varun Vihar plotted scheme.
Varun Vihar is being developed by the Lucknow Development Authority, a statutory urban development authority.
The scheme should therefore be described as an LDA-developed government-authority plotted housing scheme.
However, government-authority development does not eliminate the need to check the exact plot, infrastructure status, payment obligations, allotment conditions and applicable rules.
Before paying any amount, applicants should verify:
Check the inventory currently displayed by LDA.
Confirm the exact plot category and area.
Check whether the plot belongs to Kashi Khand, Kailash Khand Phase 1 or Kailash Khand Phase 2.
Check the sector, block, plot number and approved layout.
Verify the current ₹2,800-per-sq-ft rate against the latest LDA scheme information.
Confirm the amount payable for the selected plot category.
Keep the separate portal registration fee distinct from the plot-linked amount.
Read the conditions governing the one-time-payment option and the reported allotment preference.
Check the applicable withdrawal period and refund conditions.
Check the actual status of roads, drainage, water, electricity and other infrastructure serving the relevant plot.
Where applicable, verify the relevant UP-RERA project component.
Check applicable building bylaws, setbacks, permissible floors and other development controls before planning construction.
Applicants should not confuse registration with plot allotment.
Registration merely places the applicant into the prescribed scheme process.
The allotment will take place according to the applicable LDA procedure, reported as a draw/lottery system.
Selecting one-time payment may provide the reported preference in allotment, but it should not be treated as a guarantee that a particular plot will be allotted.
Applicants should also be cautious about unofficial agents claiming that they can guarantee or privately reserve a particular LDA plot.
Applicants should use the LDA's official registration system rather than third-party websites for submitting applications or making payments.
