There has been a big boom in the real estate sector of Uttar Pradesh due to the policies of Yogi government. Investment will increase from Rs 44 thousand crore to Rs 68 thousand crore in 2025. The township policy, religious tourism and development of small towns have strengthened investor confidence.
The real estate picture in Uttar Pradesh is changing rapidly. The effect of effective policies implemented under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is now clearly visible in the figures. More than 53 percent growth has been registered in the real estate sector in the state within the last one year, which has given new strength to the confidence of investors.
Investment broke record in one year
According to the report of Uttar Pradesh Real Estate Regulatory Authority (UP RERA), capital investment of Rs 68 thousand 328 crore took place in the state in the year 2025. In the year 2024 this figure was Rs 44 thousand 526 crore. That means an impressive increase of 53.5 percent was recorded in investment in a single year. During the same period, 309 new real estate projects were registered in the state, which shows the increasing investor confidence in the policies of the state government.

Change in township policy became a game changer
The major change made in the township policy by the government is believed to be the reason behind this boom in real estate. Last year, the government removed the minimum 25-acre requirement for developing townships and allowed builders to develop townships even in 12.5 acres. The timeline of the projects was also clarified in the new policy. A provision was made to complete a township of 25 acres in three years and a township larger than this in a maximum of five years. Under earlier policies, many projects remained pending for 8 to 12 years, due to which the allottees’ money remained stuck. The change in policy has brought relief to investors as well as home buyers.
Scope of investment expanded beyond NCR
Earlier NCR was considered to have a major role in the real estate of Uttar Pradesh, but now the picture is changing. Out of 308 projects registered in the year 2025, 122 were approved in NCR region while 186 projects were approved in non-NCR districts. This trend shows that the impact of infrastructure development by the government, better road and expressway connectivity and expansion of tier-2 cities is now visible on the real estate sector as well.
Capital Lucknow becomes center of real estate
The state capital Lucknow has emerged as a big center of real estate in the year 2025. 67 projects were registered here. Among other cities, 15 projects were registered in Bareilly and 14 in Agra. Apart from this, investment in new projects has also increased in districts like Bulandshahr, Rampur, Chandauli, Unnao, Gonda, Mau and Mirzapur, which shows the increasing demand for small cities.
Real estate gets boost from religious tourism
The expansion of religious tourism in the state has also given a new direction to real estate investment. In the year 2025, 23 projects were registered in Mathura, 5 in Ayodhya, 9 in Varanasi and 7 in Prayagraj. Better connectivity, urban redevelopment plans and increasing footfall of pilgrims and tourists are positioning these cities as the new hubs of real estate development.
Real estate picture of Uttar Pradesh changed
Overall, policy reforms, time-bound projects, religious tourism and development of small towns have taken the real estate sector of Uttar Pradesh to new heights. The increasing figures of investment are an indication that the state is now standing firmly in the ranks of the leading states of the country in the field of real estate.
