Imagine waiting almost four decades for a new residential township in your own city. That’s exactly what’s happening in Agra right now — and the wait is finally over.
After 36 long years, the Agra Development Authority (ADA) is launching a brand-new housing project — Atalpuram Township. Scheduled to be inaugurated by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on August 5, this project has already created excitement among homebuyers, investors, and local residents.
Let’s take a closer look at what makes this project so special — from rates to area, facilities, and application details.
What Is Atalpuram Township?
Atalpuram Township is not just another housing colony — it’s being developed as a modern, eco-friendly township along the Agra–Gwalior Road. Spread across 138 hectares, it promises a perfect mix of residential plots, green zones, and commercial spaces.
The project will be completed in three phases, with 76 hectares dedicated to housing and 67 hectares reserved for greenery. The total cost of the project is estimated at a whopping ₹2,242 crore — making it one of ADA’s largest-ever undertakings.
Key Dates You Should Know
- Inauguration Date: August 5, 2025
- Registration Opens: August 8, 2025 (on the day of Rakshabandhan)
- Developing Authority: Agra Development Authority (ADA)
- Location: Agra–Gwalior Road, Agra
So, if you’ve been dreaming of owning property in Agra, this might just be your best opportunity in decades.
Plot Rates & Categories
Here’s the thing — ADA has kept the pricing quite competitive considering the township’s facilities and prime location.
- Residential plots: ₹29,500 per sq. meter
- Group housing plots: ₹44,000 per sq. meter (proposed)
- Commercial plots: Double the residential rate
That means investors and buyers have a range of options, whether they’re looking for an affordable plot or a large investment opportunity.
How the Township Is Planned
In the first phase, ADA will develop three sectors, each covering around 45 hectares. A total of 322 residential plots will be offered to buyers in this phase.
Here’s how the residential categories are divided:
| Category | Plot Size (sq. m.) | No. of Plots |
|---|---|---|
| EWS (Economically Weaker Section) | 33–40 | 81 |
| LIG (Lower Income Group) | 41–50 | 78 |
| MMIG (Middle-Middle Income Group) | 51–75 | 75 |
| MIG (Middle Income Group) | 110–150 | 80 |
| HIG (High Income Group) | 151–300 | 8 |
This means whether you’re a first-time buyer or someone looking for a spacious home, there’s something for everyone.
Modern Facilities & Infrastructure
ADA’s Vice President M. Arunmouli shared that Atalpuram Township will come equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure. That includes:
- Advanced drainage systems to prevent waterlogging
- Underground ducts for power and communication lines
- Wider road networks for smooth traffic flow
- Ample green spaces and parks
This time, ADA is focusing on building a township that not only provides housing but also ensures long-term livability, sustainability, and convenience.
How to Apply Online
Applying for a plot in Atalpuram is quite simple:
- Visit the official ADA website.
- Fill in your details and select your preferred plot category.
- Pay the ₹1,100 registration fee online.
- Deposit 10% of the plot cost (for general category) or 5% (for reserved categories).
Once registered, applicants will be eligible for the upcoming lottery-based allotment process.
CM Yogi Adityanath’s Visit
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will be in Agra on August 5 to officially launch the project. He is expected to reach the city around 11:30 a.m. and will stay for nearly three hours. During this time, he’ll review development work and inaugurate the Atalpuram Township project.
Although the official program schedule hasn’t been released yet, ADA and local departments have already started making arrangements for the visit.
Why This Project Matters for Agra
Think about it this way — Agra hasn’t seen a major housing development from ADA in 36 years. With growing population, limited residential space, and rising demand, Atalpuram comes as a much-needed relief for thousands of middle-class families.
It’s not just a housing project — it’s a sign of Agra’s next phase of urban growth. Affordable plots, better planning, and strong infrastructure could transform the way people live and invest in the city.
