Kasindra Plots Explained: What a 137 to 359 Sq Yd Plot Means in Real Life

Plot sizes in Gujarat are quoted in square yards, and numbers like 137 or 359 mean little until you picture them. This guide translates the sizes listed for Kasindra plots into square feet and square metres, and explains what limits how much of a plot you can build on.

The Units

• 1 sq yd (also called a gaj) = 9 sq ft = about 0.836 sq m.
• 1 sq m = about 10.76 sq ft.

The Listed Sizes in Plain Numbers

One listed scheme in Kasindra, Dholera Estates 1, lists eight sizes from 137 to 359 sq yd: 137, 164, 178, 214, 237, 246, 265 and 359. In other units: dholeraestate1

• 137 sq yd: about 1,233 sq ft, or 115 sq m.
• 164 sq yd: about 1,476 sq ft, or 137 sq m.
• 178 sq yd: about 1,602 sq ft, or 149 sq m.
• 214 sq yd: about 1,926 sq ft, or 179 sq m.
• 237 sq yd: about 2,133 sq ft, or 198 sq m.
• 246 sq yd: about 2,214 sq ft, or 206 sq m.
• 265 sq yd: about 2,385 sq ft, or 222 sq m.
• 359 sq yd: about 3,231 sq ft, or 300 sq m.

Plot Area Is Not Building Area

You cannot build on every square foot. Three things shape what you can build.

Setbacks. The open margins between the building and the plot boundaries.

Ground coverage. The share of the plot the building footprint can occupy.

FAR (floor area ratio). The total floor area allowed, which decides how many floors fit.

The numbers for each depend on the authority that governs the plot, so ask for them in writing before you choose a size.

A Hypothetical Example

This is an illustration, not a rule for any plot. On a 178 sq yd plot (about 1,602 sq ft), if ground coverage were limited to 50%, the building footprint could be about 800 sq ft. Two floors could give roughly 1,600 sq ft of built-up area. A larger plot gives more room, but also costs more to buy and to maintain.

What Different Sizes Suggest

The project page describes the sizes as illustrative: compact plots for an individual home at the smaller end, mid-size plots for family homes, and larger plots for a garden, a bungalow or a longer-term land holding. These uses are subject to approved plans, setbacks and building permissions. The practical question is how much house, parking and open space you want.

Things to Weigh When Choosing a Size

• Budget. Add stamp duty and registration, about 5.9% in Gujarat, to the plot price, and then budget separately for construction.
• Your plans. A home you will build soon needs a plot that fits your design. Land you plan to hold may favour a size you can afford to carry.
• Frontage and shape. A wider frontage is often more useful than extra depth.
• Road access. Check the road in front of your chosen plot on the approved layout.
• Resale. Smaller and mid-size plots may suit more buyers, but this varies and cannot be promised.

Checks Before You Book Any Size

1. Get the plot’s exact dimensions on the approved layout.
2. Ask for the land-use permission and NA papers for that plot.
3. Check the road frontage.
4. Ask for the building rules that apply.
5. Confirm current availability and the price in writing.

A Note on Realistic Expectations

Plots near a planned industrial region can take years to see services and neighbours. A bigger plot is not necessarily a better decision. A plot you can afford, understand and hold comfortably is.
