Naimish Nagar Yojna: Master Plan, Land Use and Phasing

Planning horizon and status

No standalone completion year or master-plan horizon has been published specifically for Naimish Nagar as of July 2026. The scheme sits within LDA's jurisdiction under the wider city land-use plan, Mahayojna/Master Plan 2031, which is prepared by the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) and covers over 71,000 hectares across 197 integrated villages, expanding the residential zone from 20,578 hectares to 30,750 hectares and projecting a population of 65 to 80 lakh by 2031. Within that framework, Naimish Nagar in Bakshi Ka Talab is positioned along the Outer Ring Road belt, combining residential, institutional, and industrial zones, but LDA has not published a dedicated 'by-year' target for full build-out of the scheme itself.

Total planned area vs. land actually secured

These are two different numbers and should not be confused:

• Total area identified/notified: LDA's own project page states the proposed Naimish Nagar Yojna on Sitapur Road, spread over an area of 3681.6872 acres, will develop into a model of development, giving a new identity to the northern part of Lucknow, and separately that approximately 1486.689 hectares of land across 18 villages in B.K.T. Tehsil has been identified for the Naimish Nagar Yojna (these two figures are broadly consistent once converted between acres and hectares).
• Earlier reported figure: When construction of the first site office began in August 2025, several reports, including the LDA's own release at the time, cited a smaller footprint — the project spans 1,084 hectares and marks a significant step in the city's urban development plan. This lower figure appears to have been an initial/interim number that was later revised upward to 1,486.689 hectares on LDA's current project page.
• Land actually secured (on the ground): As of April 2026, over 2,500 farmers have officially submitted consent letters for 430 hectares of land along IIM Road. That means, roughly a year after work began, less than a third of the notified area had firm farmer consent.
• Media variance: Some property-portal write-ups describe the township as roughly a 2,504-acre township on IIM Road and Sitapur Road, or round it to about 3,600 acres on IIM Road. Readers should treat the LDA figure of 3,681.6872 acres (1,486.689 ha) as the authoritative number until LDA revises it again.

Villages and land acquisition method

The scheme draws land from 18 villages in BKT tehsil. According to LDA and news reports, these are: Bhauli, Lakshmipur, Purba Gaon, Purva, Sairpur, Farrukhabad, Kodri Bhauli, Kamalabad, Kamalapur, Palhari, Gopramou, Barumou, Dhatingra, Saidapur, Paschim Gaon, Dhobaila, Umrabhari, and Duggaur.

Land is being bought through direct, consent-based purchase rather than the land-pooling model used in some other LDA schemes: land for the project will be acquired through consent-based agreements under the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) approved by the LDA board. Alongside the main scheme, LDA has said it will also upgrade civic infrastructure in the source villages — the LDA plans to upgrade infrastructure and public amenities in the included villages, covering roads, drainage systems, playgrounds, marriage halls, health centers, ponds, graveyards, schools, parks, and crematoriums.

Land use, amenities and economic role

LDA has not published a percentage-wise land-use table (residential/commercial/industrial/green split) for Naimish Nagar as of July 2026, so no breakdown can be given here. What has been described qualitatively is the mix of facilities planned: the township will be developed as a modern suburb with facilities like wide roads, drainage, green belts, parks, schools, hospitals, marriage halls, community centres, playgrounds, commercial hubs, and solid waste management systems.

On the economic side, officials frame the project mainly in terms of sectoral spillovers rather than a fixed jobs number: officials said the project will boost the industrial, health, education, and logistics sectors in northern Lucknow, attract significant investments, and generate large-scale employment. No specific employment target (number of jobs) has been published.

Phasing and population target

LDA's headline population figure for the scheme is consistent across its own page and independent reporting: the Naimish Nagar scheme will provide residential facilities to approximately 3 lakh people. (One property-portal news item put the figure at nearly two lakh residents, but this is the outlier against LDA's own repeated 3-lakh figure.)

Only one phase has concrete numbers so far. Ahead of a planned launch, LDA structured the first release as: Phase 1 — 1,179 residential plots, split into two sectors, Brahma Khand and Bhumi Khand, with individual plot sizes ranging from 72 sq. meters to 450 sq. meters. The launch itself has slipped: it was originally expected around June 30, 2026, but by mid-July 2026 LDA had finished all preparatory work and was waiting for the chief minister's schedule for the official launch rather than a fixed calendar date. No second- or third-phase hectare figures or target years have been published yet.

Pricing (unofficial, pending notification)

No official, notified plot price exists yet. Property portals and local reports have circulated indicative ranges — plots priced between ₹2,500 and ₹3,000 per sq ft according to one report, versus around ₹3,200 per square foot in another. Treat all pre-launch price figures as unofficial estimates until LDA issues a formal brochure/notification.

Where to find official documents

The primary official source for Naimish Nagar–specific updates is LDA's own project page, published and maintained by the authority itself. For the city-wide statutory land-use plan that provides the zoning context for the scheme (Master Plan / Mahayojna 2031), LDA maintains a dedicated master-plan map section on its site. Readers should always cross-check any private property-portal figures against these official pages before relying on them for investment or purchase decisions.
