Which villages come under LDA IT City?

News reports of Jan and Feb 2026 list 11 villages, all in Mohanlalganj tehsil:

#VillageIn Phase 1 notice (Jun 2026)?
1BakkasYes (also part of Wellness City)
2Sonai KanjehraYes
3Sikandarpur AmoliaYes
4SiddhpuraYes
5ParehtaYes
6Pahad Nagar TikariaYes
7RakibabadYes
8Mohari KhurdYes
9KhujoliYes
10BhatwaraYes
11Mohari KalaNot listed in the Phase 1 notice

Spellings differ between sources. Parehta also appears as Paretha, and Pahad Nagar Tikaria as Pahadnagar Tikariya. Sonai Kanjehra is one village, though some websites split it into two. Mohari Kala also appears in the Saumitra Vihar Yojna of Awas Vikas, which is a separate scheme; see our Saumitra Vihar guide.

How big is IT City, and why do the figures differ?

The area has grown in reports as LDA added land:

  • May 2025: 1,696 acres, land acquisition started.
  • Dec 2025 to Jan 2026: about 2,660 acres and about 10,000 plots.
  • Feb 2026: 3,490 acres.
  • Jun 2026 notice: Phase 1 of 686.66 hectares, which works out to about 1,697 acres.

Our reading: the 1,696-acre figure matches Phase 1, and the larger figures describe the full scheme. LDA has not published a final area table, so treat every total as provisional.

What will IT City have inside?

Reports from Dec 2025 and Jan 2026 describe the plan as follows:

  • About 10,000 residential plots for around 1 lakh residents.
  • A 200-acre golf city and green belt, and a 15-acre water body.
  • Land for IT and industry, reported as 350 acres in May 2025 and 400 acres in Dec 2025, to be allotted to investors through Invest UP.
  • Commercial land, reported as 60 acres in May 2025 and 200 acres in Dec 2025.
  • A 2 km link road to Kisan Path.

LDA's scheme page describes zones for IT and ITeS companies, housing, commercial space and education: LDA IT City page. No company had been named as a tenant of the new scheme by 30 Sep 2026.

What are the sectors and plot sizes?

The full sector map has not been published. News of the landowner lotteries names Sectors 15, 16, 17, 18 and 30.

Plot sizeArea in sq ftSeen in
35 sq m377Landowner lotteries
45 sq m484First lottery, Mar 2026
72 sq m775Lotteries and planned public sizes
112 sq m1,206Planned public sizes (Jan 2026 report)
128 sq m1,378Landowner lotteries
162 sq m1,744Third lottery, Aug 2026
200 sq m2,153Lotteries and planned public sizes
288 sq m3,100Landowner lotteries

If LDA prices the public phase near the ₹4,000 per sq ft reported in Feb 2026, a 162 sq m plot would cost about ₹70 lakh and a 200 sq m plot about ₹86 lakh before other charges. This is our arithmetic on an unconfirmed rate, not an LDA price.

How does land pooling work in IT City?

Landowners who give their land get 25% of it back as developed residential plots, allotted by lottery before the public sale. One report also mentions an option of 50% as undeveloped land.

Total1,397

In the third lottery, 191 of the 434 plots were 288 sq m and 89 were 35 sq m.

Can you buy land in IT City villages now?

Not freely. A notice under Section 11 of the 2013 land acquisition law was reported on 6 Jun 2026 for IT City Phase 1 (686.66 ha) and Wellness City. Any sale or transfer in those villages needs the District Collector's written permission. Only owners recorded in the land records on the notice date get pooling benefits.

  • An earlier bar on land purchase covered 6 IT City villages in Dec 2024.
  • On 29 Jan 2026 LDA demolished 4 illegal layouts over 18 bighas in Bakkas.

If a dealer offers a "plot in IT City" with a registry this month, ask for the Collector's permission letter and check the khasra against the notice.

Where can you see the IT City map?

We did not find a public sector-wise layout PDF for IT City by 30 Sep 2026. When LDA publishes it, we will add it here.
