Good to know
- Maharashtra: since the 2025 amendment, building permission in a development-plan area serves as conversion (no separate NA order), with a one-time premium. Buying farmland generally needs you to be an agriculturist. Rules change often: check with a local lawyer and the state authority before you buy.
- Land isn't included. Remote sites cost more because labour and materials have to travel.

How we work this out
Rules, not AI: your inputs times rates per city, gathered in November 2026 from builders, cement and paint brands, banks, interiors firms and government pages. Most published rates come from firms that sell this work, and they often disagree, so we show a range. Use it to plan and to compare quotes, not as a quote.
