Land unit converter
The land unit converter translates between the units used in Dholera land dealings, square feet, square yards, acres and bigha. It uses fixed, verifiable conversions and flags that the bigha is not standardised in Gujarat, so local confirmation is always needed.

What the converter does
Land around Dholera is quoted in several units, developed plots often in square yards or square feet, and raw or agricultural land often in bigha or acre. The converter lets you move between these units using the fixed relationships that can be stated as fact. One acre equals 4,840 square yards, which equals 43,560 square feet, and one square yard equals 9 square feet. Entering a figure in any of these units returns the equivalents, so you can compare a plot quoted in square yards against one quoted in acres without doing the arithmetic by hand.
How to use it and the bigha caution
Enter the area and choose the unit you have, then read the converted values. The one unit that needs care is the bigha. In Gujarat a bigha is commonly taken as about 2,500 square yards, roughly half an acre, but the bigha is not a standardised unit and varies by region. The tool uses the common Gujarat figure only as a guide and flags clearly that you must confirm the local bigha definition for the specific area before relying on it. This matters because a difference in the assumed bigha size can materially change how much land you think you are buying. Use the converter for quick comparison and planning, and always cross-check the exact area against the official records, the Final Plot dimensions in the Town Planning scheme and the 7/12 extract, rather than trusting a verbal quote.
Why accurate units matter
Because Dholera land is marketed in mixed units, mismatched or loosely defined figures are an easy place for confusion or misrepresentation to creep in. Converting everything to a common unit lets you compare prices and sizes on a like-for-like basis. Combined with checking N.A. status (non-agricultural status, the permission needed before farmland can be used for anything else), the FP number and title documents, consistent units are part of reading a land offer honestly rather than being swayed by a headline number in an unfamiliar unit.
