Circle rates
It is classed as semi-urban (अर्द्धनगरीय), the belt on the edge of the city where farmland is turning into plots. That is why it carries both plot rates and agricultural rates.
Road width matters here. A plot on a road 9 to 18 metres wide is valued at ₹5,500 per sq m, and one on a road wider than 18 metres at ₹6,800, 66% above the narrow-road rate.
That is 7% below the median for Sohawal tehsil (₹4,400), ranked 88 of 159 for the base plot rate, where rates run from ₹1,400 to ₹10,600.
