Plot Prices in Saumitra Vihar
The final price has not been officially confirmed by UP Awas Vikas Parishad. As per recent reports, the expected land rate is around ₹25,000 to ₹26,000 per sq. m. Earlier estimates had put the range between ₹2,200 and ₹2,700 per sq. ft. A 100 sq. m. plot at around ₹25,000 per sq. m. would have a basic land value of about ₹25 lakh, before development charges and other costs.
Since pricing has changed across different reports, the final rate, development charges and other applicable costs should be taken only from the official UPAVP brochure.
Eligibility for Saumitra Vihar Plots
The eligibility details given in reports so far state that the applicant must be a resident of Uttar Pradesh, and the age should generally be between 18 and 55 years. These conditions are indicative. UP Awas Vikas Parishad may add more conditions related to income category, property ownership, domicile and application fee in the final brochure.
Land Pooling Model and Benefits for Farmers
Saumitra Vihar is the first major UPAVP township being developed under the land pooling model. Under this system, farmers voluntarily give their land for township development, and in return they get a share of the developed plots. For Saumitra Vihar, farmers are receiving developed plots equal to around 25% of their contributed land area.
Earlier, under government acquisition, farmers were paid around ₹34 to 40 lakh per bigha. With land pooling, they are getting developed plots worth around ₹1.5 to 1.75 crore per bigha, which gives them 4 to 5 times more value. UP Awas Vikas Parishad has already completed allotment and numbering draws for plots belonging to consenting farmers, including a draw held on July 17, 2026.
Modern Township with Eight Sectors
Saumitra Vihar will be divided into eight planned sectors including Sankalp, Sanket, Samved, Sanchit, Sambhav, Sabodh, Sambit, and Sadeep. Each sector will have landscaped parks, green corridors, water bodies and eco-friendly features. The layout will have wide roads with widths ranging from 9 metres, 12 metres, 18 metres and up to 24 metres.
The township will include residential, commercial and educational areas, along with parks, lakes, wide roads and a convention center. Special residential areas are planned for EWS and LIG buyers, making it one of the most complete housing colonies planned in Lucknow.
