Key Answers in This Guide
- Availability is a dated record, not a layout plan: This is the misunderstanding underneath most wasted effort in this belt, and it is worth stating before anything else.
- Fresh allotment: A fresh allotment is a purchase from RIICO under whatever scheme and terms apply to that area and category, at the allotment rate fixed for it.
- E-auction: An e-auction sells a specified lot through a published process, with a reserve price as the floor and the outcome decided by bidding.
- Resale: A resale is a purchase from the existing allottee or lessee, and it is the route most transactions in this belt actually take, because it is the only one where the plot you want is the plot on offer.
- Which route suits which buyer: Most buyers do not really choose a route.
- What we do: We work the resale market, which is where identified plots actually change hands, and we establish status, dues and transfer eligibility with the Unit Office before a price is agreed rather than after.
In this guide
Buyers use “getting a RIICO plot” as though it were one process. It is three, they involve different counterparties, and the route decides the price basis, the timeline and what can go wrong.
| Fresh allotment | E-auction | Resale | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who you deal with | RIICO | RIICO, through a published auction | The existing allottee or lessee, and then RIICO |
| What sets the price | The applicable allotment rate for that area and category | Bidding, from the lot’s reserve price | Negotiation, supported by comparable transactions |
| What you need to know first | Whether a scheme exists and what it requires | The scheme notice, the lot and the date | The plot’s status, dues and transfer eligibility |
| Timing | RIICO’s process | Fixed by the auction calendar | As fast as the parties and RIICO’s transfer process allow |
| Main risk | Waiting for something that is not currently on offer | Bidding against a number rather than a plan | Discovering a status or dues problem after agreeing a price |
Availability is a dated record, not a layout plan
This is the misunderstanding underneath most wasted effort in this belt, and it is worth stating before anything else.
RIICO publishes layout plans for industrial areas under Bhiwadi Unit-I and Unit-II. Those plans support official naming, unit-office grouping, mapped boundaries, plot numbering, roads and readable land-use schedules. What they do not establish is current vacancy, allotment availability, reserve price, market price, clear title, transfer eligibility, infrastructure condition, or the status of any individual plot.
So a plan showing two hundred plots is not two hundred plots for sale. Current availability requires a dated record: a vacant-plot portal result, an e-auction notice, a scheme notice, or confirmation from the relevant Unit Office. Anyone offering you a plan as evidence that plots are free is offering you a map, not an inventory.
Fresh allotment
A fresh allotment is a purchase from RIICO under whatever scheme and terms apply to that area and category, at the allotment rate fixed for it.
Two things shape whether this route is open to you at a given moment. Whether a scheme actually exists for the area you want, which is a question with a date attached and changes over time. And what the allotment carries with it: allotments come with conditions, including the requirement to build and commence activity within a set period, which our RIICO buyer’s guide covers.
Those conditions are not paperwork. They follow the plot, they decide whether it counts as utilized later, and they determine what happens if the buyer’s plans change. A buyer who takes a fresh allotment intending to hold the plot rather than build on it has usually not read the terms he signed.
Allotment rates are fixed area by area through office orders. RIICO fixed an allotment rate of ₹2,850 per square metre for undeveloped land at Industrial Area Rabadka under Bhiwadi Unit-II through Office Order No. IPI/F-1(9)-3/2026/337 dated 3 August 2026, effective immediately, which shows the level of specificity these rates carry. It applies to that area and that land category, and to nothing else.
E-auction
An e-auction sells a specified lot through a published process, with a reserve price as the floor and the outcome decided by bidding.
The discipline it demands is different from the other two routes. You are committing to a number in a compressed window, against other bidders whose reasoning you cannot see, on a lot you should have inspected and diligenced before the auction rather than during it. That means the site visit, the layout position, the access, the land-use schedule and the terms of the lot are all pre-work.
A reserve price is not a valuation. It is the floor for that lot on that date, and both a lot closing well above reserve and a lot finding no bidder are ordinary outcomes. Our four numbers guide sets out why a reserve price should never be carried across to another plot as a market rate.
Resale
A resale is a purchase from the existing allottee or lessee, and it is the route most transactions in this belt actually take, because it is the only one where the plot you want is the plot on offer.
It also carries the most pre-conditions, and every one of them belongs before the price conversation rather than after. The plot’s status, utilized against vacant or unutilized, which decides the transfer-fee branch and can be a materially large number. The five-year restriction on transferring a vacant or unutilized plot from allotment, subject to the stated exception for plots allotted under Rule 3(AJ). The outstanding dues, which are their own liability. And whether the transfer is permitted at all in the plot’s current position. Our transfer charges guide covers each of these under Rule 18.
The other thing about a resale is that the sale deed is not the end of it. A registered deed settles the position between the two parties; the leasehold transfer in RIICO’s records is a separate step, and a buyer who skips it holds a deed against a plot RIICO still associates with someone else.
Which route suits which buyer
Most buyers do not really choose a route. The route is chosen by what is available when they need it, which is why the practical advice is to know the position on all three rather than to commit to one.
A manufacturer with a fixed timeline almost always ends up in resale, because it is the only route where a specific plot can be identified, inspected and bought on a schedule the buyer controls. A buyer with flexibility on timing and location can wait for a scheme or an auction, and may pay less for the wait. A buyer who wants a plot already built on and running is in a different market again, which our operational factory vs vacant shed guide covers.
What none of the three routes is, is a way to acquire land cheaply and sit on it. The conditions attached to allotments and the transfer restrictions on vacant plots exist precisely to prevent that, and a buyer whose plan depends on holding an undeveloped plot indefinitely is working against the rules rather than within them.
What we do
We work the resale market, which is where identified plots actually change hands, and we establish status, dues and transfer eligibility with the Unit Office before a price is agreed rather than after. Where a scheme or auction is the better route for a buyer’s timeline, we say so, including when that means we are not in the transaction.
We do not publish a live list of available RIICO plots, and we would treat any site that does with suspicion, because availability is a dated record from RIICO rather than a page anyone can maintain from a layout plan. If you need to know what is genuinely available in an area this month, that answer comes from the Unit Office and the current notices, and we will help you get it.
Frequently Asked Questions About RIICO Allotment, E-Auction or Resale
Are there RIICO plots available in Chopanki or Khushkhera right now?
That question can only be answered with a dated record: a current vacant-plot result, an auction or scheme notice, or the Unit Office’s confirmation. A layout plan for the area does not answer it, whatever it looks like on a website.
Is buying at auction cheaper than buying a resale?
Sometimes, and the price is not the whole comparison. An auction requires you to complete your diligence before bidding and to accept the lot on offer rather than the plot you wanted, while a resale lets you choose the plot and inspect it properly but involves the transfer conditions and dues of an existing allotment.
Can I get a fresh allotment in an established area like Bhiwadi Industrial Area?
Only if a scheme applies there at the time you ask, which is a dated question rather than a general one. In established areas most acquisitions happen through resale for the simple reason that the land was allotted years ago.
I found a plot on a RIICO layout plan. Can I apply for it?
Not on that basis. The plan shows how the area was laid out, including plot numbering. It does not show whether that plot is allotted, vacant, under a scheme, or transferable. Take the plot number to the Unit Office and ask.
Want the position on a specific area?
Tell us the industrial area and roughly what you need in size and power. We will tell you what the resale market there looks like and what the current official position is on availability, as two separate answers rather than one blurred one.
