Question 1

Q1. Can I buy land near the Bundelkhand Expressway safely?

Accepted Answer

Yes, outside the 110-metre ROW and the 15-20 metre solar strip already held by UPEIDA. Verify the Khasra number on Bhulekh UP before any payment. Land inside the ROW band is already government-acquired and cannot be privately transacted.

Question 2

Q2. Which seven districts does the Bundelkhand Expressway pass through?

Accepted Answer

The 296 km expressway connects Chitrakoot, Banda, Mahoba, Hamirpur, Jalaun, Auraiya, and Etawah. It passes through 182 villages in these districts. The expressway's northern terminal is at Kudrail village in Etawah on the Agra-Lucknow Expressway.

Question 3

Q3. What is the 110-metre ROW on the Bundelkhand Expressway and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

The Right-of-Way is 110 metres wide along the full 296 km. UPEIDA acquired 3,462 hectares within this band. No private plot inside the 110-metre strip can be sold; the land legally belongs to UPEIDA for expressway and ancillary use.

Question 4

Q4. How do I check Khasra Khatauni land records on Bhulekh UP for a Bundelkhand plot?

Accepted Answer

Visit upbhulekh.gov.in, select the district, tehsil, and village, then enter the Gata or Khasra number. The portal shows ownership, land classification, and mutation status. For legal transactions, obtain a certified Khatauni copy from the Tehsil office.

Question 5

Q5. What is the UP Defence Industrial Corridor and which Bundelkhand nodes are active?

Accepted Answer

The UP Defence Industrial Corridor has six nodes: Aligarh, Agra, Jhansi, Kanpur, Chitrakoot, and Lucknow. Jhansi has attracted Rs 3,421 crore in investments. The Chitrakoot node has no industrial allotments confirmed as of early 2025, despite land acquisition being complete.

Question 6

Q6. What is the 1700-hectare solar park on the Bundelkhand Expressway?

Accepted Answer

UPEIDA has identified 1,700 hectares along the 296 km corridor, covering 15-20 meters on each side of the carriageway, for a 450-550 MW solar park under a 25-year BOO model. Bids were invited in October 2024. This land is UPEIDA-held and unavailable for private purchase.

Question 7

Q7. How does the Bundelkhand Expressway connect to Delhi NCR?

Accepted Answer

The expressway ends at the Agra-Lucknow Expressway near Kudrail in Etawah. From there, the Yamuna Expressway (Agra to Greater Noida) provides onward connectivity to NCR. This chain reduces Chitrakoot-to-Delhi travel time from over 12 hours to approximately 6 hours.

Question 8

Q8. Is agricultural land near Hamirpur or Jalaun a safe investment after the expressway opened?

Accepted Answer

Conditionally. Both districts gained connectivity that was previously absent. Verify ownership on Bhulekh UP, confirm the plot sits outside the 110-metre ROW, and check BhuNaksha for boundaries. Hamirpur's baseline infrastructure gap means appreciation timelines here are longer than at the Etawah junction end.
