JDA schemes: the main route under ₹15 lakh
JDA lottery schemes on the city's edge are where approved plots come closest to small budgets. Recent reserve prices:
| JDA scheme | Where | Launched | Reserve ₹ per sq m | ₹ per gaj |

| Patel Nagar | Khori Ropara | Feb 2025 | ₹18,000 | ≈ ₹15,050 |
Reserve prices from Patrika reports; plots were allotted by lottery. 1 sq m ≈ 1.196 gaj.
Schemes open for about a month and are allotted by lottery, so you may not get a plot. Track them on Latest from JDA.
Risks with very cheap plots
- Unapproved colonies and society pattas. Low prices often mean no JDA layout approval. Read society patta vs JDA patta.
- Installment schemes. Ownership passes only at registry. Read buying a plot on installments.
- Land use. Land far out may be rural or ecological on the master plan. Check the master plans.
- Price below the area rate. Ask why. Compare with area rates.
