Prime Lucknow plots up for auction by LDA
LDA announces mega auction of prime residential plots in Lucknow, check key dates
The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has announced a major opportunity for homebuyers and investors by launching a mega e-auction of prime residential plots across various housing schemes in the city. This initiative is aimed at meeting the rising demand for residential land while ensuring transparency and fair allocation. Interested buyers will have the chance to secure plots in some of Lucknow's most sought-after locations, including Gomti Nagar, Gomti Nagar Extension, Kanpur Road, Basant Kunj, and Priyadarshani Colony.
The LDA e-auction is scheduled to take place on August 8, 2025, starting at 11:00 am through the official online portal https://ldaauction.procure247.com/. Interested participants must complete the registration process on the portal between July 4 and August 4, 2025 to be eligible for bidding.
As part of the registration process, buyers must submit 10% of the property value as Earnest Money Deposit (EMD). This amount will be calculated based on the reserve price of the plot they are interested in. Along with the EMD, applicants are also required to fill out the necessary forms online. The LDA has made it clear that only those who complete this step within the specified timeframe will be allowed to participate in the auction.
The auction process is fully digital, which makes it accessible to a large number of potential buyers, including residents and investors living outside Lucknow. LDA officials have emphasized that this step will not only speed up the allocation process but also ensure transparency, as all crucial details about the plots — including size, location, and reserve price — are already published on the official website.
Plots in prime locations and varied sizes
One of the main highlights of this auction is the wide variety of plot sizes being offered. According to LDA officials, the available plots range from 60 square meters to 252 square meters, giving buyers options that suit their budget and space requirements. Whether someone is looking for a small residential plot or a larger property for a spacious home, this auction caters to different needs.
The plots are part of several popular LDA housing schemes such as Gomti Nagar and Gomti Nagar Extension, Kanpur Road Scheme, Basant Kunj, and Priyadarshani Colony, among others. These locations are considered prime due to their connectivity, planned infrastructure, and proximity to essential amenities like schools, hospitals, and shopping centers.
All important information about each plot, including its size, location, and starting price, is available on the e-auction portal. This allows interested buyers to make informed decisions before participating in the bidding process. The LDA is encouraging buyers to carefully review these details and plan their bids in advance to increase their chances of securing a desired plot.
The move is also aimed at tackling the issue of vacant plots in various LDA schemes. Over time, several residential plots have remained unsold or unutilized, and the e-auction is expected to bring them into use by attracting genuine home seekers and investors.
The LDA’s mega e-auction is being seen as a significant opportunity for residents of Lucknow as well as investors from other parts of the country. With property prices in prime locations continuing to rise, the e-auction offers a transparent way to purchase land at competitive rates. The authority has assured that the process will be fair, with equal opportunity for all registered participants to place their bids.
Officials also highlighted that the online bidding process has been designed to be simple and user-friendly. Once the registration and EMD payment are completed, participants will receive access to the portal on the auction day, where they can place their bids in real time. The highest bidder for each plot, as long as it meets or exceeds the reserve price, will be declared the winner.
The LDA has also made efforts to create awareness among potential buyers about the benefits of registering early. Those who complete the formalities on time will have the advantage of reviewing the plot details, preparing their bids, and ensuring they meet all the eligibility criteria before the auction date.
Boost to Lucknow’s real estate market
The upcoming auction is expected to give a strong push to the real estate sector in Lucknow, which has been witnessing increased demand for residential properties due to the city’s rapid development. With well-planned townships and infrastructure upgrades, areas like Gomti Nagar and Kanpur Road have become highly desirable for both residential and commercial purposes.
Real estate experts believe that such initiatives by the LDA not only help reduce the inventory of vacant plots but also bring stability to the property market by encouraging genuine buyers to invest. Moreover, the transparent e-auction model ensures that buyers can directly compete for plots without the involvement of intermediaries, which reduces chances of unfair practices.
The auction also aligns with the state government’s efforts to promote housing projects and boost urban development. By offering a fair chance for people to own residential plots in well-developed areas, the LDA aims to cater to both the middle-income group and investors who are looking to build homes or make long-term property investments.
For buyers who are planning to build a home in Lucknow or invest in property, the LDA’s mega e-auction on August 8 presents a valuable opportunity. With plots available in multiple sizes and prime locations, and with the entire process being transparent and online, the auction is expected to draw significant participation.
Interested buyers should complete the registration process before the deadline of August 4, 2025, by paying the required EMD and submitting the necessary forms. By doing so, they can participate in the live e-auction on August 8 and bid for their preferred plots.
