Prayagraj Development Authority (PDA) invites you to take part in transparent E-Auctions for residential, commercial, and industrial plots.
Explore the future of Prayagraj and be a part of the city’s planned growth. Visit www.pdaprayagraj.org”
This official message was recently shared on PDA’s Facebook page, signaling a significant move toward inclusive, tech-enabled urban development in Prayagraj. Citizens, builders, and investors are encouraged to participate in this transparent land allocation process to become part of the city's planned growth.
The PDA e-auction portal now features live and upcoming auctions for different plot types:
Residential Plots
Commercial Plots
Industrial Plots
Accessible via www.pdaprayagraj.org, the platform ensures a smooth, corruption-free process where interested parties can view property details, register, submit deposits, and bid online in real-time.
For those ready to invest or build in Prayagraj, here’s the simple step-by-step process:
Register on the PDA portal and create a user profile with required documents.
Explore plot listings by category, location, size, and base price.
Submit Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) online to qualify for bidding.
Participate in the auction on the specified date via the same portal.
Complete post-bid formalities if you win—this includes final payments and documentation.
All steps are conducted online, making the process efficient and accessible for anyone, regardless of location.
The timing of this e-auction push is strategic, coinciding with the rollout of Uttar Pradesh’s Building Construction and Development Bye-laws 2025, which:
Remove the need for building plan approvals for plots up to 100 sq. meters
Reduce construction wait times and costs (estimated savings of ₹1.25 lakh or more)
Encourage development of small and mid-size residential and commercial structures
These reforms make owning and developing small plots significantly easier—making this auction a golden opportunity.
Alongside the land auctions, PDA has recently:
Offered 764 vacant flats under EWS, LIG, MIG, and HIG categories
Conducted a lottery-based allotment system for flat buyers between May and June 2025
Launched help desks and guidance centers to assist applicants with the online process
These efforts show PDA’s commitment to both digital transformation and citizen-friendly services.
PDA is also cracking down on illegal land encroachments. Over the past three months, they have:
Demolished more than 1,000 unauthorized boundary walls
Filed over 30 FIRs against land mafia and violators
Reclaimed valuable urban and peri-urban land for lawful development
This ensures that auctioned and allotted plots remain legally secure for buyers.
To support the city’s expansion, new urban infrastructure is being developed, including:
Three new Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) at Naini, Jhunsi, and Phaphamau
Improved sanitation and eco-friendly systems
Preparations for major events like Kumbh Mela 2025
These upgrades align with Prayagraj’s vision of becoming a smart, sustainable city.
