Understanding the 'Gaj' Benchmark in North Indian Real Estate
Across Punjab, Haryana, Delhi-NCR, and Rajasthan, plot sizes are universally described in 'gaj'. Whether discussing a 100 gaj kothi plot in Kharar or a 500 gaj plot in Aerocity, 1 gaj equals 9 square feet. Understanding the exact square footage helps evaluate building coverage and construction estimates.
Standard Plot Dimensions in Gaj and Feet
100 gaj = 900 sq ft (20×45 ft or 22.5×40 ft). 150 gaj = 1,350 sq ft (30×45 ft). 200 gaj = 1,800 sq ft (30×60 ft). 250 gaj = 2,250 sq ft (35×64.3 ft). 300 gaj = 2,700 sq ft (36×75 ft). 500 gaj = 4,500 sq ft (50×90 ft).
Evaluating Land Quotes
To convert a seller's price quote from per gaj to per sq ft: divide the per gaj rate by 9. For instance, ₹63,000 per gaj ÷ 9 = ₹7,000 per sq ft.
