Ayodhya Masterplan

If your plot lies within Ayodhya’s 133.67 sq km development area, the ADA Master Plan 2031 governs zoning and land use. Implemented in 2022, it mandates strict compliance, making zone verification essential before any purchase or development.

The plan restricts building height to 17.5 metres for all non-religious structures across Ayodhya. Religious buildings are exempt. Any project exceeding this limit must have explicit ADA approval, so buyers should verify permissions before investing in such developments.

Survey village records in Ayodhya are not fully digitised under the UP Bhulekh system, especially near the Saryu River. This creates verification gaps, requiring buyers to rely on Lekhpal-certified records to avoid fraud in such locations.

Large areas near Ayodhya cantonment are notified as artillery buffer zones, restricting construction and development. While one village was de-notified, legal challenges remain, and most notified villages continue under restrictions, affecting land usability and investment potential.

ADA map approval is mandatory for any plot subdivision within its jurisdiction. Without this approval, the plot is considered unauthorised. Buyers must verify the approval reference number, as illegal layouts risk demolition or legal action by authorities.

Land along Parikrama Marg routes is reserved for religious tourism and public infrastructure. While this indicates strong development potential, private residential use may require special approvals, making zone classification verification critical before purchasing nearby land.

Property prices vary based on proximity to key landmarks and infrastructure. Areas near Ram Mandir command the highest rates, while outer zones are more affordable. However, official circle rates remain lower and determine stamp duty calculations.
