Saumitra Vihar Housing Scheme

The Uttar Pradesh Housing and Development Board (Awas Vikas Parishad) is set to launch its landmark Saumitra Vihar Housing Scheme near New Jail Road, Lucknow, on November 1, 2025.
This is the Board’s first-ever project under the land pooling model, introducing a modern, farmer-friendly development approach in Uttar Pradesh.

 Launch & Registration Timeline

According to officials, plot registrations are expected to open in the first week of November, with the official launch scheduled for November 1, 2025. The scheme will be developed over 200 acres, featuring eight well-planned residential sectors equipped with modern urban amenities.

Land Pooling: A New Model for Inclusive Urban Growth

Instead of conventional land acquisition, UPAVP has adopted the land pooling model — ensuring fair value for landowners.
Farmers from 11 villages, including Chand Sarai, Kasimpur Biruha, Habuapur, Moazzam Nagar, and others, contributed land and received developed plots equivalent to one-fourth of their holdings, resulting in a 4–5× increase in value.

Traditional acquisition: ₹34–40 lakh per bigha
Land pooling return: ₹1.5–1.75 crore per bigha

This model ensures faster execution, lower disputes, and equitable compensation, setting a precedent for future UPAVP projects.

Plot Details & Pricing

• Plot Sizes: 30 sq. m. to 300 sq. m.

• Estimated Price Range: ₹2,200 – ₹2,700 per sq. ft.

• Allotment Method: Lottery system (for public applicants)

• Plots for Farmers: 1,247 plots already allotted (112–300 sq. m.)

Each sector will feature a mix of residential, commercial, and educational plots, along with landscaped parks, lakes, and community centers.

Township Layout & Sectors

Spread over eight sectors, the township will feature:
Sankalp, Sanket, Samved, Sanchit, Sambhav, Sabodh, Sambit, and Sadeep.
Each sector includes wide roads, stormwater drainage, green corridors, and modern civic infrastructure — making Saumitra Vihar one of Lucknow’s most planned housing developments.

Objectives & Real Estate Impact

• Affordable & Inclusive Housing: Plots designed for all income groups (EWS to HIG).

• Sustainable Township: Lakes, green parks, and community amenities to promote eco-friendly living.

• RERA-Regulated Transparency: Ensuring secure allotment and buyer confidence.

• New Growth Hub: Positioned to make New Jail Road–Gosainganj a major residential and commercial corridor.

• Price Benchmarking: Organised inventory between ₹2,200–₹2,700 per sq. ft. expected to stabilise land prices in the zone.
