Property Rates in Lucknow 2026: Price per Sq Ft by Locality

Property rates in Lucknow in 2026, worked out from developers' quoted prices, run from about ₹8,055 to ₹25,850 per sq ft of carpet area for new flats, and from about ₹8,300 to ₹21,290 per sq ft where the developer quotes super built-up area. Those two ranges cannot be compared with each other, and neither includes stamp duty or registration. Government flats and plots sit lower, at about ₹4,580 to ₹10,380 per sq ft.

Every figure below is our own calculation: the quoted base price of a unit divided by its quoted area, for the projects and homes on our site. We keep carpet, built-up and super built-up rates in separate columns and never mix them.

How we worked out these property rates

• Source: developers' and authorities' quoted base prices and areas in our listings, as of November 2026. These are asking prices, not registered sale prices.
• Ranges: where a project quotes a price range and an area range, we pair the lowest price with the smallest unit and the highest price with the largest. Real units in between can differ.
• Rounding: rates are rounded, so treat them as approximate.
• Exclusions: stamp duty, registration, parking, club and other charges are not included, except where a developer labels its price all inclusive, which we note.
• Left out: units with no price or no area, and resale listings whose area type is not stated, such as the 3 BHKs listed in Hazratganj and Husainganj.

Property rates in Lucknow by locality, 2026

Rates are per sq ft. A dash means the project does not quote that basis.

Two projects we list are not in the table: Rishita Mulberry Heights in Sushant Golf City quotes prices but no areas, and Dynasty by ORO in Arjunganj quotes areas with the price on request.

What the table shows

• Gomti Nagar Extension is not one market. Its rates range from about ₹8,300 per sq ft super built-up at a ready township to about ₹25,850 per sq ft carpet at Eldeco Trinity. Project and unit size matter more than the locality name.
• IIM Road, Kanchanpur and Sultanpur Road are the lower band for new carpet-area projects, at about ₹8,000 to ₹11,000 per sq ft of carpet area.
• Shaheed Path sits in between, at about ₹13,200 to ₹13,600 per sq ft of carpet area.
• Sushant Golf City's super built-up projects cluster at about ₹9,100 to ₹10,600. Without carpet areas, we cannot say how that compares with Shaheed Path or IIM Road.
• Small units cost more per sq ft. The DLF My Pad studios, 310 to 833 sq ft of carpet area, work out to about ₹23,300 to ₹23,800, close to the top of the city.

How to read a property rate in Lucknow

Check the area basis first

A rate means nothing until you know which area it divides by. Under the RERA Act, carpet area is the net usable floor area inside your walls; built-up adds walls and usually balconies; super built-up adds a share of common areas. Emaar Elara lists both figures for two of its units, which shows the gap:

The same flat looks about 70% to 77% more expensive per sq ft on a carpet basis. Under the UP RERA Agreement for Sale Rules 2018, the price in your agreement must be tied to carpet area, so convert every rate to carpet before you compare. Our guide to carpet area vs super built-up area shows the method.

Base price vs what you actually pay

A quoted rate is usually the base price only. On top come stamp duty of 7% for men, or 6% for women when the value is up to ₹1 crore, plus 1% registration with no cap. On Eldeco Skywalk's ₹69.11 lakh 2 BHK, 858 sq ft of carpet area, a man's effective rate including duty and registration rises from about ₹8,055 to about ₹8,700 per sq ft. Parking, club and maintenance deposits add more. KSMB labels its prices all inclusive, so its rate is not directly comparable with a base-price rate until you see what it includes. Our stamp duty guide has the full rules.

Floor, size and facing move the rate

Within one project the rate can move. At Eldeco Skywalk, the 2 BHKs work out to about ₹8,055 to ₹8,110 per sq ft of carpet area, but the 3 BHKs run from about ₹8,420 to ₹10,110. At Eldeco Trinity, the smallest 3 BHK works out to about ₹21,700 and the largest units to about ₹25,850. Ask for the price sheet of the exact unit rather than applying a project average.

Plot rates are a different thing

A plot rate buys land only; you then pay to build. The JBBR Kanvas plots on Kanpur Road at about ₹5,500 per sq ft of plot and an IIM Road flat at about ₹8,055 per sq ft of carpet area are not cheaper and dearer versions of the same product. Our plots in Lucknow guide covers what to budget for construction and approvals.

Commercial rates are separate again

Shops and offices at Marigold Kailasha Awadh in Sarojini Nagar work out to about ₹16,250 to ₹22,870 per sq ft of super built-up area, with ground-floor retail at the top of that range. They follow different demand, so keep them out of any residential comparison.

Ready and under-construction rates

Stage changes what a rate buys. Among the projects that quote super built-up area, the two ready ones we list, Rishita Manhattan at about ₹8,300 per sq ft and Rishita Serenity at about ₹9,110 to ₹9,150, sit at the lower end, while the new launches Emaar Elara and Emaar Elite Oasis sit at about ₹12,170 to ₹21,290. A ready flat also has no wait: you are not paying rent and a loan together for years, and you can measure the actual carpet area before registry. An under-construction flat may offer a newer specification and payments spread over the build, but listed possession dates in our tables run as far as January 2032. Compare rates within the same stage first, then decide what the wait is worth to you. Our ready to move flats guide covers the finished-flat side of that choice.

Circle rates: the government's floor price

The circle rate is the minimum value the district sets for property in each area. Stamp duty and registration are charged on the higher of the agreed price and the circle rate value, so the circle rate matters most on resale and older homes, where a negotiated price can fall close to it.

You can look up the current valuation list on the IGRS UP valuation list page by choosing the district (Lucknow) and the sub-registrar office. We do not quote circle rates in this guide because they vary from area to area and are revised from time to time; check the list on the day you budget.

Lucknow's rates in context

Our figures come from new, mostly mid-premium and premium projects, so they sit above city-wide averages. For context, ANAROCK's research, reported by Outlook Money, puts Lucknow's average residential price at about ₹6,380 per sq ft in 2025, up from about ₹3,890 in 2021; the report does not say which area basis it uses. The RBI House Price Index for April to June 2026 showed all-India prices up 3.6% year on year and named Lucknow among the cities contributing to that rise, without giving a separate Lucknow figure.

These describe the past. We do not forecast rates. For what is being built now and when it will be delivered, see our Lucknow real estate market 2026 overview, and for a locality-by-locality view beyond price, our best areas to buy a flat guide.

How we can help you check a rate

We work personally with each buyer, and checking a quoted rate is a routine part of it. Send us a project and unit, and we will get the carpet area and full cost sheet in writing, convert the rate to a like-for-like figure and compare it with the alternatives in our listings. If you are selling, we can help you set an asking price against the same evidence on our sell a property page.
