Which Plot Size Is Right? Dholera Plot Size Guide

Plots in Dholera are sold in square yards (also called gaj). One sq yd equals 9 sq ft or about 0.836 sq m. Your usable building area is smaller than the plot area, because setbacks, ground coverage and FAR limit what you can build. Choose a size by purpose, budget and the rules for your zone.

Unit conversion table

Unit	Equals
1 sq yd (1 gaj)	9 sq ft = 0.836 sq m
1 sq m	10.764 sq ft = 1.196 sq yd
1 guntha	1,089 sq ft = 121 sq yd = about 101 sq m
1 acre	43,560 sq ft = 4,840 sq yd = 40 guntha

Avoid “bigha” or “vigha” for plots. The size varies by region, and mistakes are costly.

From Plot Area to Building Area

Buildable footprint = plot area − setbacks, subject to ground coverage limits.
Total built-up area = plot area × FAR (as allowed by your zone and road width).

Illustration only, not a Dholera rule: on a 235 sq yd plot (2,115 sq ft), if ground coverage were 50%, the footprint would be about 1,057 sq ft. Two floors would give roughly 2,115 sq ft of built-up area. The real figures come from DSIRDA’s regulations for your zone and road. See what you can build.

Which Size for Which Goal?

Goal	Size to consider	Why
Compact family home	170-235 sq yd	Lower cost, manageable build
Larger family home with garden	350-450 sq yd	More footprint and open space
Shop-cum-office	423 sq yd and above	Frontage and parking
Multi-unit or institutional use	578 sq yd and above	Space for several units

Other factors beyond size

Frontage and depth. A wider frontage is often more useful than extra depth.
Corner or middle position. Corners can add light and access but may add cost.
Road width. See road width explained.
Total cost. Add about 5.9% for stamp duty and registration to the price. See our stamp duty guide.
