Where Are the LDA Plots Located?
Varun Vihar
Varun Vihar is situated near the Agra Expressway in Lucknow, along the Mohan Road side of the city. LDA’s official project information places the larger planned township near the Agra Expressway.
Naimish Nagar
Naimish Nagar is located around Bakshi Ka Talab on the Sitapur Road corridor, with the project also connected to the IIM Road side of Lucknow.
Why Are These Two LDA Schemes Significant for Lucknow?
Both projects form part of LDA’s broader plans to create new residential development areas outside the established parts of Lucknow.
Varun Vihar alone is planned over approximately 6,580 acres, while Naimish Nagar is proposed over more than 3,600 acres. LDA’s plans include residential development along with supporting commercial, institutional and recreational infrastructure.
The development of these townships is also expected to expand the city’s residential footprint toward the Agra Expressway, Mohan Road, Sitapur Road and B.K.T. areas.
However, prospective buyers should distinguish between proposed long-term master-plan facilities and infrastructure that is already operational. Applicants should check the latest LDA documentation and site-specific development status before making a purchase decision.
3,105 vs 3,010 LDA Plots: What Changed?
Before the schemes were launched, reports from September 22 stated that online registration would open for 3,105 residential plots. That figure comprised 1,926 plots in Varun Vihar and 1,179 plots in Naimish Nagar.
The latest registration information, however, lists 1,926 plots in Varun Vihar and 1,084 plots in Naimish Nagar, resulting in a total of 3,010 plots. The Times of India reported the same 3,010 figure after registration opened.
Therefore, for the current registration article, 3,010 is the figure that should be used. The earlier 3,105 figure can be mentioned as a pre-launch figure to explain why some reports may show a different number.
