Building a house in Agra: what to know

Map approval
the Agra Development Authority (ADA), under the UP Building Bye-laws 2025. Under UP's 2025 building bye-laws, house plots up to 100 sq m need no permission, only online registration with a ₹1 token and a self-certified plan, and plots up to 500 sq m in approved layouts get instant online approval once a licensed professional certifies the plan.
Plot sizes
The authority works in square metres, while plots are bought and sold in sq ft and gaj (square yards). Under the 2025 bye-laws, plots below 300 sq m may build three floors with stilt up to 15 m, and plots of 300 sq m and above four floors with stilt up to 17.5 m.
Climate
Composite. Agra falls in the Composite zone of BEE's climate map: hot, dry summers and a humid monsoon in one year, so insulate and shade the roof, keep west and south glass small, and still give every room cross-ventilation.
Earthquake zone
Seismic Zone III. BIS withdrew its 2025 seismic map in March 2026, so the IS 1893:2016 zones still apply.
Ground and water
Agra's Master Plan 2031, whose approval was reported on 30 March 2025, allows no building within 500 m of the Taj Mahal, one storey up to 3.75 m from 500 to 750 m, and two storeys up to 7.5 m from 750 m to 1 km. CGWB finds the deeper groundwater in Agra district brackish to saline in many places, so check your plot's distance from the Taj and test any borewell water before you build.
Where people build
Dayal Bagh, Shastri Puram, Sikandra, Kamla Nagar, Fatehabad Road, Gwalior Road.
Good to know
ADA's Atalpuram township on the Gwalior highway, about 1,400 plots on 138 ha at ₹29,500 per sq m, was launched on 8 August 2025, and ADA announced registration for its 462 remaining plots from 14 May 2026.

Who approves house plans in Agra?

the Agra Development Authority (ADA), under the UP Building Bye-laws 2025. Under UP's 2025 building bye-laws, house plots up to 100 sq m need no permission, only online registration with a ₹1 token and a self-certified plan, and plots up to 500 sq m in approved layouts get instant online approval once a licensed professional certifies the plan. We prepare the drawings it asks for and guide you through the approval.

Which plot sizes are common in Agra?

The authority works in square metres, while plots are bought and sold in sq ft and gaj (square yards). Under the 2025 bye-laws, plots below 300 sq m may build three floors with stilt up to 15 m, and plots of 300 sq m and above four floors with stilt up to 17.5 m. We draw plans for any plot size, including odd shapes.

Which earthquake zone is Agra in, and does it change the design?

Seismic Zone III. BIS withdrew its 2025 seismic map in March 2026, so the IS 1893:2016 zones still apply. We design the structure to IS 1893 for this zone: column sizes, steel and foundations are calculated, not guessed.

What should I know about the ground before building in Agra?

Agra's Master Plan 2031, whose approval was reported on 30 March 2025, allows no building within 500 m of the Taj Mahal, one storey up to 3.75 m from 500 to 750 m, and two storeys up to 7.5 m from 750 m to 1 km. CGWB finds the deeper groundwater in Agra district brackish to saline in many places, so check your plot's distance from the Taj and test any borewell water before you build. We size the foundation after a soil check.

Do you make "ghar ka naksha" (house plans) for Agra?

Yes. "ghar ka naksha" is how many people in Agra write "house plan" in Hindi. We draw the complete set: floor plans, 3D elevation, and structural, electrical and plumbing drawings.
