Lucknow Development Authority Plans Phase 2 for Varun Vihar and Naimish Nagar Plot Schemes

The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) is preparing to launch the second phase of registrations for its Varun Vihar and Naimish Nagar housing plot schemes by the end of November 2026, offering another opportunity for buyers who missed the initial rollout.

Both housing projects are being developed under the Chief Minister Urban Expansion Scheme, encompassing a total of 4,520 residential plots across designated areas in Lucknow. The first phase of registrations recently concluded, prompting official preparations for the upcoming second phase once pending RERA approvals and regulatory clearances are finalized.

Overview of the First Phase and Initial Response

The initial phase generated significant interest among prospective property buyers across both locations:

• Varun Vihar Scheme: Situated near the Agra-Lucknow Expressway across an area of approximately 6,580 acres, the first phase offered 2,847 plots in the Kashi and Kailash blocks. Official figures indicate that the portal received 45,442 visitors, with 30,781 booklets purchased and 24,114 completed registrations, resulting in more than eight applications per available plot.
• Naimish Nagar Scheme: Located near Sitapur Road close to Bakshi Ka Talab, this project spans about 3,600 acres. The first phase featured 1,673 plots, recording 26,810 visitors, 17,592 booklet sales, and 12,569 completed registrations, averaging over seven applications per plot.

According to LDA Vice-Chairman Prathamesh Kumar, the lottery draw for the first phase of applicants is scheduled for November 4 and 5.

Practical Implications and Reader Guidance

For individuals planning to participate in the upcoming second phase, the LDA has outlined specific procedural steps and considerations based on official guidelines.

• Rollover Benefit: Applicants who participate in the first phase lottery but do not secure a plot will be permitted to apply for the second phase without purchasing a new brochure or paying a fresh registration fee.
• Verification Steps: Before applying, prospective buyers must review the official portal, read the updated brochure for phase two, and carefully verify plot dimensions, pricing, eligibility criteria, and payment terms.
• Financial Planning: Buyers should factor in additional costs beyond the base plot price, including stamp duty, registration fees, development charges, and construction expenses.
• Due Diligence: Experts recommend conducting site visits to evaluate nearby infrastructure such as roads, schools, and hospitals, while thoroughly checking RERA approvals and refund policies.
