Project Overview
The Lucknow Development Authority is developing the Naimish Nagar Housing Scheme 2026, a large-scale residential township along the IIM Road–Sitapur Road corridor in North Lucknow. The proposed township is spread over 3,681.6872 acres and will develop into a model development, giving a new identity to the northern part of Lucknow. Construction work for the first site office of the scheme has been completed in Purwa village of B.K.T. Tehsil, with approximately 1,486.689 hectares of land identified across 18 villages in B.K.T. Tehsil.
Launch Timeline and Registration
The Lucknow Development Authority will launch approximately 6,000 plots across Naimish Nagar around September 13-14, with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath expected to launch the schemes on Ganesh Chaturthi, and online registration for plots to begin on the day of launch. Phase 1 will see registration for 1,179 residential plots. Residential plots will be offered through an online registration process, with plot sizes ranging from 72 sq. meters to 450 sq. meters.
Product Configuration and Pricing
The LDA has fixed proposed rates at around ₹3,200 per square foot for Naimish Nagar. A 72-square-metre plot will therefore have a starting price of roughly ₹21 lakh to ₹22 lakh, apart from applicable charges. LDA is planning master plan roads of 18 meters to 45 meters width for the development. Plots measuring 72 sq m to 450 sq m will be offered across two sectors in the project.
Land Acquisition and Infrastructure
The estimated cost for land acquisition is approximately ₹4,785 crore, which has been approved by the Authority Board. As of April 2026, over 2,500 farmers have officially submitted consent letters for 430 hectares of land along IIM Road. The township will feature residential, commercial, and public infrastructure, with upgrades to drainage, schools, hospitals, parks, and waste management systems.
Locality Context and Infrastructure Connectivity
Located in the capital city of Uttar Pradesh, Sitapur Road is part of National Highway 24 and one of the major roadways that runs through Lucknow, extending from Sitapur in North-eastern UP to the river Gomathi. The area is known for its heritage and culture but has started to bloom as an IT and education hub in recent years, with many new colonies and townships being constructed along the highway, driven by IT parks and premier educational institutions and hospitals that have made this area attractive for working professionals. The road infrastructure in the Sitapur Road area is well-developed, with significant improvements and expansions underway. The National Highways Authority of India has approved the expansion of the Lucknow–Sitapur National Highway into a six-lane corridor, marking a major step towards easing congestion and improving travel efficiency.
Expected Impact and Development Vision
The Naimish Nagar scheme will provide residential facilities to approximately 3 lakh people and will lead to unprecedented growth in the city's industry, health, education, and logistics sectors. Both the Naimish Nagar and Varun Vihar projects are part of Lucknow's planned expansion and are expected to bring more residential development to areas outside the existing city limits, supported by wider roads and planned infrastructure which can improve connectivity as these areas develop.
