The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) is preparing to introduce its large-scale IT City housing township along Sultanpur Road by early 2026, designed to accommodate close to one lakh residents. The township spans roughly 2,660 acres and is being developed under a land-pooling model that returns 25% developed land to donors through a lottery system. With nearly 10,000 plots planned, along with a 200-acre green belt, a 15-acre water body and a new approach road linking the site to Kisan Path, the project aims to establish a self-sustaining, mixed-use urban zone.
The Lucknow Development Authority is advancing plans to roll out its IT City housing township along Sultanpur Road by early 2026. The scheme, spread across approximately 2,660 acres, is based on a land-pooling system in which participating landowners receive 25% of the developed land through an internal draw, a model the authority has been promoting as more beneficial than cash compensation. Those contributing land will receive first priority during allotment. Advertisement
The township proposes nearly 10,000 residential plots, offering plot sizes from 72 to 200 square metres. Once fully occupied, the development is expected to house close to one lakh residents, positioning it among the largest township initiatives conceptualised by the authority in recent years.
The layout includes a 200-acre dedicated green belt and a 15-acre water body intended to create a balanced environmental footprint within the township. To strengthen access, a 2-kilometre approach road connecting the project to Kisan Path is under construction, with internal mobility planned through a grid-style road network in varying widths.
Land pooling had commenced earlier this year, with parcels obtained from several adjoining villages. Alongside this, the authority initiated preliminary earthwork and site-levelling for the township's central amenities, including a planned 188-acre central park and a golf course earmarked within the master plan. This early start was aimed at maintaining the momentum of the project and ensuring that allotments could begin as scheduled.
Beyond residential plots, the township is being conceived as a mixed-use hub, with areas reserved for commercial, IT and industrial activities, in addition to educational and institutional facilities. The LDA has recently opted to finalise the layout in-house instead of relying on an external consultant, stating internally that this shift would expedite approvals and allow for a more streamlined rollout of allotments.
