Buying a Residential Plot on Dwarka Expressway with the Right Approvals in Hand
This page is for buyers who want a residential plot on Dwarka Expressway in Gurugram, either to build a house or to hold as land. Plots appeal to people who want to design their own home, who prefer owning land over a share of a tower, or who want an asset with no maintenance to speak of. The corridor has a good supply of plots in licensed colonies, mostly in the sectors towards NH-48.
Plot buying has its own rules and its own risks. The approvals matter far more than for a flat, because an unlicensed plot cannot be registered or built on legally. Below we explain where licensed plotted colonies sit along the corridor, the plot sizes you will find, the approvals a plot must carry, the documents to verify and what building on the plot involves. We end with how Goyal Associates helps from Sector 106.
A licensed colony is one where the promoter has obtained a licence from the state town planning department to develop residential plots, with a sanctioned layout plan that shows every plot, road, park and service. Plots in such colonies can be registered in your name, mortgaged and built on with a sanctioned building plan. Plots sold outside this framework, on agricultural land or under informal schemes, cannot.
On the corridor, licensed plotted colonies are concentrated in the sectors roughly from 108 to 115, where the land parcels were large enough for plotted development, with smaller pockets in the central sectors. Some are standalone colonies with their own gate and club; others are plotted components inside larger townships that also contain towers and villas. The state’s planned-colony policy has also produced newer plotted schemes near the NH-48 end, which are generally priced at the entry level for the corridor.
Plots are sold in standard sizes set by the sanctioned layout, and the right size depends on what you intend to build. In words, the usual range runs from compact plots that take a single-family house of two or three floors, through mid-size plots that allow a larger house with a garden and a car porch, to large plots that suit a villa with a pool or a house built as separate floors for an extended family.
Corner plots, park-facing plots and plots on wider roads carry a premium within the same colony. East- and north-facing plots are often requested for traditional reasons. The permitted ground coverage, floor area ratio and height for each plot size are published by the planning department and determine how much house you can legally build; ask for these figures for your plot size before you compare prices, as they vary between colonies.
Before any money changes hands, the plot should be backed by a clear set of approvals.
A plot with all of these can be registered and built on. A plot missing any of them should be priced accordingly or avoided. Promises that an approval is coming are not a substitute for the document.
For a plot bought from the promoter, the document set is the allotment letter, the plot buyer agreement, the payment schedule and receipts, the licence and layout approval, and the HARERA registration. The agreement should state the plot number, dimensions, facing and the date by which internal development will be complete.
For a resale plot, add the seller’s conveyance deed, the full chain of earlier transfers, the transfer permission from the promoter, a no-dues certificate from the colony’s maintenance agency and a search for any encumbrance or pending litigation on the plot. Walk the plot with the layout plan and a tape and confirm the dimensions on the ground. Check that the plot is not reserved for a utility or affected by a road widening. A lawyer’s title opinion is worth the cost for any plot purchase.
Once the plot is yours, building a house involves a sanctioned building plan from the planning authority, which must follow the permitted coverage, setbacks and height for your plot size. An architect prepares the drawings and handles the sanction. Construction then needs water and electricity connections, which the colony’s development status determines, and a completion certificate at the end before the house can be occupied or sold as a built home.
Costs beyond the plot price include the architect, the contractor, the sanction fees, and the colony’s development and maintenance charges during construction. Many owners build in stages, finishing the ground floor first. Some colonies set a time limit for construction after allotment; check this before buying if you plan to hold the plot undeveloped for a few years. Building is a project in itself, and a good contractor matters as much as a good plot.
