Question 1

Will the Atal Progressway actually pass through Kota district?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The expressway starts at Seemalya village in Kota district, where it connects with NH-27 and the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway interchange. The 72 km Rajasthan stretch originates here. NHAI's DPR and environmental clearance documents confirm this western terminus.

Question 2

What is the current status of land acquisition for the Chambal Expressway near Kota?

Accepted Answer

Active but significantly updated. In March 2026, NHAI reverted to the original alignment — back from the revised route through 214 villages to the older alignment (~75% government land). NHAI is re-verifying land in 90 villages in Morena, 48 in Sheopur, and 23 in Bhind. Landowners on the original route will receive double compensation. Earthwork tenders remain awarded for the Rajasthan (Kota) section. Before any purchase, use 1acre's Premium map layer (https://1acre.in/subscribe) to overlay the current alignment on your khasra number — the alignment reversion means boundary positions have shifted materially.

Question 3

Can I buy agricultural land near the Kota expressway corridor?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but you cannot build on it without a Section 90A conversion order from the Rajasthan revenue authority. Agricultural land near the Bharatmala Pariyojana corridor can be purchased; converting it to residential or commercial use requires a separate formal application and approval under Rajasthan Land Revenue Rules.

Question 4

What documents must I verify before buying land near the Kota Atal Progressway?

Accepted Answer

At minimum: the Jamabandi (Khatauni), the Khasra map confirming survey number and classification, a current encumbrance certificate, and the Section 90A conversion order if the land is being sold as a residential plot. If no 90A order exists, you are buying agricultural land regardless of what the patta says.

Question 5

What is the Section 90A risk for society patta plots in Rajasthan?

Accepted Answer

High. Rajasthan has moved to ban registration of society patta plots that lack 90A approval. Banks refuse home loans, building approvals are rejected, and the plot cannot be resold through a sub-registrar. Buyers who paid for plots in unapproved societies face demolition risk and no legal recourse.

Question 6

Which Kota locality is closest to the expressway interchange?

Accepted Answer

Seemalya village is the terminus point. Borkhera is the closest established residential market. Both are within the NH-27 corridor that feeds the interchange. Land prices in Borkhera reflect existing demand; Seemalya-area agricultural parcels carry corridor premium but also active acquisition risk.

Question 7

Is the Kota expressway plot appreciation already priced in by brokers?

Accepted Answer

Partially. Established residential plots in Borkhera trade on existing demand from Kota's education sector. Agricultural land near Seemalya carries a speculative corridor premium. Given that construction tenders were cancelled in 2024 and 50% of total land acquisition remains pending across the corridor, the appreciation timeline is not the 2-3 years brokers commonly cite. NHAI's March 2026 reversion to the original alignment further resets the acquisition clock across MP. The appreciation timeline is not the 2-3 years brokers commonly cite.

Question 8

What is the Right of Way width for the Atal Progressway in Rajasthan?

Accepted Answer

60 metres in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh sections. The Madhya Pradesh section uses a 100-metre ROW. Land within or immediately adjacent to this corridor cannot be built upon and may be subject to acquisition. Always check the Khasra number against the NHAI alignment map before purchase.
