| Location | Vrindavan Yojna and Awadh Vihar Yojna, Lucknow |
| Properties | 100+ properties |
| Property categories | Residential, commercial, institutional and group housing |
| Auction mode | Online e-auction |
| Application deadline | August 24, 2026 |
| Auction date | August 25, 2026 |
| EMD | Generally 10% of the reserve price, as specified for the property |
| Allotment | Highest eligible bidder through e-auction |
| Application mode | Online |
Important: The reserve price, EMD, plot area, permitted land use and other conditions can vary from one property to another. Applicants should therefore check the individual property details in the official UPAVP auction schedule before bidding.
The UPAVP auction covers different types of properties intended for a range of uses.
These include:
Residential plots and land parcels
Group-housing sites
Commercial plots
Shops
School and institutional plots
Hotel sites
Shopping complexes
Multiplex and other commercial-use properties
The auction therefore caters to both individual investors and larger developers.
However, not every property is intended for construction of an individual house. Buyers must check the approved land use of the particular plot before participating in the auction.
One of the main attractions of the auction is the wide variation in property sizes.
The reported auction inventory includes land parcels ranging from approximately 2,500 sq m to 15,665 sq m for larger development purposes.
Separate properties include smaller commercial shops. For example, a 17-sq-metre shop in Govardhan Enclave, Vrindavan Yojna , has been reported with a reserve price of around ₹25 lakh .
Other reported categories include:
| Property purpose | Approximate size mentioned |
|---|---|
| Commercial shop | 17 sq m |
| School sites | 500–4,000 sq m |
| Shopping/commercial complexes | 800–15,000 sq m |
| Large auction land parcels | 2,500–15,665 sq m |
The exact size and reserve price should be checked against the individual property listing because the auction includes properties with different land-use conditions.
The UPAVP auction process is conducted online.
Interested bidders generally need to complete the following steps:
Applicants must register on the UPAVP's designated e-auction platform and provide the required personal or business information.
Check the available properties under Vrindavan Yojna or Awadh Vihar Yojna and identify the property suitable for your intended use.
Before making a payment, carefully verify:
Property number
Location and sector
Plot area
Land use
Reserve price
EMD
Applicable fees
Auction terms and conditions
The EMD is linked to the reserve price of the particular property. The reported auction terms indicate an EMD of 10% of the reserve price , along with applicable processing charges.
Eligible applicants can participate in the online auction and place bids according to the auction rules.
The successful bidder must complete the required payment, documentation and allotment formalities within the time specified by UPAVP.
Do not assume that winning the highest bid automatically completes the purchase. The successful bidder must comply with all payment and documentation conditions specified in the auction notice.
The auction reserve prices should not be confused with the general market prices of properties in Vrindavan Yojna.
Market rates vary considerably according to the sector, property type, location, age of the building and development quality.
Indicative 2026 market data cited for Vrindavan Yojna includes:
| Property type | Indicative rate |
|---|---|
| Apartments | Around ₹6,350/sq ft |
| 3 BHK apartments | Around ₹6,850/sq ft |
| UPAVP plots | Around ₹8,200/sq ft |
| Independent houses | Around ₹8,600/sq ft |
| Premium gated plots | Around ₹9,600/sq ft |
| Builder floors | Around ₹7,150/sq ft |
| Commercial property | ₹12,000+/sq ft |
| Peripheral/society plots | Around ₹1,900/sq ft |
These figures represent indicative market/listing levels and should not be treated as official UPAVP reserve prices.
Actual auction prices can be higher or lower depending on the individual property, reserve price and competition during bidding.
Market data cited for Vrindavan Yojna indicates continued price growth over the past several years.
Reported appreciation figures include:
1-year appreciation: 7.6%
3-year appreciation: 27%
5-year appreciation: 62.8%
These figures should be interpreted carefully because appreciation varies by property type and source methodology. A township-wide or apartment-market appreciation figure does not mean that every plot or flat has appreciated at the same rate.
For an investor, the purchase price, exact sector, property type, title, development status and future infrastructure are more important than relying solely on a historical appreciation percentage.
Vrindavan Yojna has evolved into one of the major residential corridors of South Lucknow.
Its location along Raebareli Road , combined with access to Shaheed Path and proximity to major healthcare and employment centres, has supported residential development.
The area is also receiving attention because of several proposed, approved or under-development infrastructure projects.
One of the most significant developments associated with Vrindavan Yojna is the proposed AI City in Sector 15 .
The project has been reported as a ₹368-crore development spread across approximately 12 acres , with a proposed public-private partnership structure.
The planned development is intended to create space for AI companies, technology businesses, startups, research institutions and related activities.
The reported structure includes a 45-year land lease , with a private developer to be selected through an RFP process.
For nearby residential sectors, the development could potentially increase demand from employees and businesses if the project progresses to construction and operation.
Another major development is the proposed international exhibition-cum-convention centre in Sector 15.
J. Kumar Infraprojects has reportedly received a Letter of Acceptance for the project, with the reported project value at approximately ₹1,184 crore .
The proposed facility is expected to have a capacity of around 10,000 people and is intended to host exhibitions, conferences and large-scale events.
The project could support demand for hotels, restaurants, commercial establishments and rental housing in the surrounding area once operational.
However, buyers should distinguish between an awarded construction contract and a completed operational facility when evaluating the likely impact on property prices.
Reports regarding the IT/AI development in Vrindavan Yojna indicate that more than 100 land parcels have been identified for IT and AI-related companies in Sectors 15 and 16.
This makes the Sector 15–16 corridor particularly important for investors with a longer investment horizon.
At the same time, investors should avoid paying a large premium solely on the basis of future IT development. The actual pace of construction, company occupancy and employment generation will determine its eventual impact on surrounding property demand.
Vrindavan Yojna is not a single uniform development. Different sectors have different levels of development, connectivity and property prices.
These sectors are among the more established parts of the township.
They can be considered by buyers looking for:
Established residential surroundings
Resale properties
UPAVP plots
Existing infrastructure
These sectors benefit from proximity to major healthcare and employment destinations, including the SGPGI and Raebareli Road corridor.
They can be relevant for buyers looking for:
Apartments
Independent houses
Rental properties
Long-term residential investment
Sectors 15 and 16 deserve separate attention because of the proposed AI/IT development and convention-centre infrastructure.
Investors considering these sectors should have a longer time horizon and should distinguish between existing infrastructure and projects that are still under development .
Sector 20 is associated with the newer Vrindavan Yojna Scheme 4 / Govardhan Enclave .
Buyers considering plots here should verify the current UPAVP scheme notification, plot availability, land-use conditions and allotment terms directly with the authority.
Both schemes are included in the latest UPAVP auction, but their locations and development characteristics are different.
| Factor | Vrindavan Yojna | Awadh Vihar Yojna |
|---|---|---|
| Major corridor | Raebareli Road | Sultanpur Road |
| Location | South Lucknow | South/East Lucknow corridor |
| Major connectivity | Shaheed Path, Raebareli Road | Sultanpur Road, Shaheed Path |
| Development | Established in several sectors | Rapidly developing |
| Investment focus | Residential, commercial and institutional | Residential and commercial |
| Key consideration | Sector-specific development | Location and corridor growth |
The best choice ultimately depends on the individual property rather than simply the name of the scheme.
Vrindavan Yojna benefits from its position in South Lucknow.
Important nearby destinations include:
SGPGI: approximately 2–3 km from several parts of the township
Lucknow Airport: roughly 11 km, depending on the route and sector
Charbagh/Lucknow Junction: around 11 km
Utraitia Railway Station: close to the township's peripheral areas
Lulu Mall: approximately 5 km
Hazratganj: roughly 11–12 km
Medanta Hospital: accessible through the Raebareli Road corridor
HCL IT City: accessible through the Shaheed Path/Sultanpur Road network
Actual travel time can vary significantly depending on the sector and traffic conditions.
Not every infrastructure project associated with Vrindavan Yojna is operational.
This distinction is important for investors.
| Project | Current position |
|---|---|
| AI City | Approved/proposed development |
| Convention Centre | Construction contract/LOA reported |
| IT/AI development | Layout/development reported |
| Raebareli Road connectivity improvements | Under development |
| SGPGI elevated corridor | Under construction/development |
| Metro connectivity towards SGPGI | Planned/proposed |
| Ring Road connectivity | Planned/upcoming |
Buyers should therefore avoid advertisements claiming that Vrindavan Yojna is already directly metro-connected.
There is no operational metro station inside Vrindavan Yojna at present .
The nearest operational metro connectivity is considerably farther away, while the proposed extension towards the SGPGI side could eventually improve public transport access.
Therefore, buyers should treat future metro connectivity as a potential future benefit rather than an existing facility .
Whether purchasing through the UPAVP auction or from the resale market, buyers should complete due diligence.
Make sure the property is actually located within the notified UPAVP scheme and sector mentioned in the documents.
A commercial, institutional or group-housing plot cannot automatically be used to construct an individual residence.
The reserve price is only the starting point in an auction. A successful bidder may have additional financial obligations.
Check the auction terms for applicable charges and payment obligations.
For resale properties, verify the seller's ownership, title documents and applicable UPAVP records.
For builder-developed projects, verify the project's registration and approved details on the official Uttar Pradesh RERA portal.
Do not rely solely on a "ready-to-move" advertisement. Buyers should ask for the applicable Occupancy Certificate and Completion Certificate.
A physical inspection is particularly important during the monsoon because drainage, road conditions and accessibility can vary between sectors.
Peripheral developments may use the name of the established township for marketing purposes.
Always verify the exact scheme, sector and authority.
A proposed metro line does not provide the same benefit as an operational station.
Vrindavan Yojna covers a large area, and development quality can vary significantly from one sector to another.
An auction property can have a different reserve price from nearby resale properties.
Request the relevant documents before making a substantial payment.
Vrindavan Yojna has several factors supporting its long-term investment potential, including its established UPAVP development, road connectivity, proximity to SGPGI and other institutions, and the proposed AI, IT and convention-centre developments.
However, the investment case is sector-specific .
For buyers seeking established residential infrastructure, mature sectors may be more suitable. Investors willing to take a longer-term view may examine Sectors 15 and 16 because of the planned AI and institutional development.
For auction buyers, the most important factor is not simply whether Vrindavan Yojna is a good locality. The key question is whether the specific property is worth the final bid price after considering its location, land use, development charges, legal conditions and future usability .
The latest UPAVP auction gives buyers and developers an opportunity to acquire government-authority land in two important Lucknow schemes— Vrindavan Yojna and Awadh Vihar Yojna .
Vrindavan Yojna stands out because it combines an established residential township with major proposed and under-development projects, including the AI City, convention-centre development and IT/AI land parcels .
But buyers should not treat every property in the area equally. Sector, land use, reserve price, infrastructure status and legal documentation can make a substantial difference to the investment outcome.
For anyone participating in the August 2026 auction, the safest approach is to verify the individual property details in the official UPAVP auction documents, calculate the complete acquisition cost and understand the permitted land use before placing a bid .
