1 acre = 4,840 sq yd = 43,560 sq ft. 1 sq yd = 9 sq ft. Bigha in Gujarat is commonly about 2,500 sq yd but is not standardised, so always confirm locally.
Land in Dholera is quoted in several units, and mixing them up is one of the easiest ways to misjudge what you are buying. The fixed conversions are simple and worth memorising: one acre equals 4,840 square yards equals 43,560 square feet, and one square yard equals nine square feet. This converter uses exactly those, so acre, square yard and square foot always agree. The unit that causes trouble is bigha. In Gujarat a bigha is commonly around 2,500 square yards, roughly half an acre, but bigha is not standardised and varies by region and even by village, so a price per bigha is only meaningful once you know which bigha is meant. Raw and agricultural land tends to be quoted per bigha or per acre, while developed and serviced plots are usually quoted per square yard or square foot. When you compare two offers, convert both to the same unit first, and when a price is quoted per bigha, confirm the local definition in writing before you treat the comparison as real.
How this page is sourced
Everything on this site is held to one standard so you can trust it enough to act on. Every figure is tagged by where it comes from: green for government or official sources, amber for national or trade press, and red for broker or unverified claims, which we flag rather than repeat as fact. Every figure carries a date, because Dholera moves and a number that was right last year may not hold now. Anything framed as a future event, an opening, a first chip, a completion, stays labelled as a target until a government source confirms it happened. We do not sell plots, we do not publish invented reviews or registration numbers, and where a fact is not reliably available we say so instead of guessing. The full method and the primary sources are on the sources and methodology page.
Read the tags as a confidence meter. A green figure is something you can plan against today. An amber figure is credible but worth confirming before you build a decision on it. A red figure is a claim we are showing you so that you can recognise it, not one we stand behind. When two sources disagree, we say so and show the more authoritative one rather than averaging them into a number that is nobody's actual figure. The point of all of this is simple: you should be able to act on what you read here, and check any of it yourself, without wondering whether a number was quietly invented to make the picture look better than it is.
