The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has unveiled a game-changing ₹5,148 crore budget for FY 2026-27, targeting affordable housing, green corridors, and innovative townships to redefine the capital’s skyline.
Held at Parijat Sabhaghar under Divisional Commissioner Vijay Vishwas Pant’s leadership, the 187th board meeting fast-tracked urban development. Central to the plan is ₹200 crore for 848 budget-friendly flats in Sharda Nagar extension—housed in four towering 12-floor structures with one- and two-BHK options loaded with contemporary facilities.
Speaking on the matter, LDA Vice Chairman Prathmesh Kumar detailed ₹1,600 crore for acquiring land for high-profile ventures including IT City, Wellness City, Naimish Nagar, and Varun Vihar. These moves will fuel residential expansion and attract investors.
Budget breakdowns reveal ₹1,298 crore for housing maintenance and growth, ₹200 crore for core infrastructure, and a hefty ₹400 crore for the Green Corridor to revolutionize traffic management. Parks get ₹60 crore, anti-encroachment drives are bolstered, and PMAY projects advance.
Buyer-friendly decisions include holding flat prices steady for a year at Gomti Nagar’s Parijat and Panchsheel complexes. Proposals for rehabilitating Anant Nagar displaced families and tweaking scheme layouts sailed through.
Lucknow stands on the cusp of transformation, with LDA’s mega-plan weaving affordability, eco-friendly corridors, and planned townships into a blueprint for sustainable prosperity.
