Where to look in 2026
The Alwar–Deeg corridor along the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway is the clearest entry-stage opportunity: infrastructure delivered (expressway operational), prices pre-discovery (₹8K–25K/sq.yd vs ₹25K–60K+ Gurgaon), demand growth validated. The Forest by ABL Group: 330 managed estate plots from ₹50L in this corridor.
Due diligence checklist
1. Verify RERA registration on state portal. 2. Independent title search — 30+ year chain minimum. 3. Confirm land use classification — residential, not agricultural. 4. Site visit — twice, once independently. 5. Understand maintenance structure and annual costs. 6. Check access road quality. 7. Verify water and electricity. 8. Read sale agreement fully — not just the brochure.
Legal framework
RERA registration mandatory for plotted developments. Stamp duty 5–7% (Rajasthan ~6%). Agricultural land restricted for non-farmers in most NCR states — managed farmland is the compliant alternative.
