Buying Farmland in Rajasthan off the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway: What Changes
Farm communities in Alwar district are now marketed to Delhi and Gurugram buyers because of the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway. Rajasthan's rules apply there, not Haryana's: ownership is shown in the jamabandi, and building a residence on agricultural land requires conversion under Section 90-A of the Rajasthan Land Revenue Act. They are also much further out - about 130 km from central Delhi.
- Rajasthan law applies - check conversion under Section 90-A before building.
- Distances are long: RPS Sargam's published distance to New Delhi is about 130 km.
- Expressway access shortens drive time, but plan for it as a getaway, not a weekly commute.
- Ask which approvals (conversion, layout) are already in place, in writing.
Last reviewed
Short answer: the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway made Alwar-district farm communities reachable from Gurugram - but you are buying under Rajasthan's rules, and at a real distance.
What is different from UP and Haryana
- Record: ownership is shown in the jamabandi.
- Building: residential use needs conversion under Section 90-A.
- Distance: communities such as RPS Sargam at Naugaon publish distances of about 130 km to New Delhi, 100 km to Gurugram and 35 km to Alwar.
Before you book
- Get the conversion and layout approvals in writing.
- Drive it - on a weekday and a weekend.
- Check water: groundwater varies widely in the region.
See RPS Sargam in the register and the rules by state.

Frequently Asked Questions
Building a residence generally requires the land to be converted for non-agricultural use under Section 90-A of the Rajasthan Land Revenue Act, through the competent authority. Ask the developer or seller which conversion has already been obtained.
