Bikaner Master Development Plan 2043 at a glance
| Plan | Bikaner Master Development Plan 2043 (plan period 2023–2043). |
|---|---|
| Approved and notified | Approved by the BDA board on 9 March 2026; gazette notification issued on 17 March 2026, as reported by two regional outlets. The draft made public on 27 August 2025 drew 227 objections. |
| Gochar land | Pasture (gochar) land is placed in a Special Periphery Zone: changing its use or selling it needs the state government’s approval, and the BDA cannot approve colonies there. |
| Also marked | Sites for a logistics hub and a transport nagar. The December 2024 draft proposed a 60-metre ring road linking the Jaipur, Sri Ganganagar, Jaisalmer and Nokha roads; we could not confirm it is unchanged in the final plan. |
| Authority | Bikaner Development Authority, notified on 15 December 2024 in place of the UIT Bikaner and made law by the Bikaner Development Authority Act, 2025. Its area is a 30 km radius: the municipal corporation, Napasar and Deshnoke towns, and 185 villages. |
What is changing
- Because the plan was notified only in March 2026, older papers for a plot may describe a different land use. Check the 2043 plan, not an earlier copy.
Where to see the plan
Search listings show a BDA section on the Rajasthan local-bodies portal. We could not open it from our own systems on 9 November 2026; open the Rajasthan UDH portal yourself or ask at the BDA office for the notified plan.
Before you buy land in the Bikaner region · ज़मीन ख़रीदने से पहले
- Find your plot’s zone. Match the khasra on the Bhu-Naksha map to the master-plan sheet and note its land-use zone. Our zone-code table explains the usual colours and codes.
- Get it in writing. Ask the Bikaner Development Authority (BDA)’s town planning section what use is allowed on that khasra today.
- Conversion follows the plan. The Rajasthan High Court’s Gulab Kothari orders (2017 and 2018) hold that land use in a sanctioned master plan cannot be changed for one owner’s benefit, only by formally modifying the plan. Read how 90-A conversion works and how it meets the master plan.
- Watch the next plan. When a new draft is published there is an objection window; a plot’s zone can change between plans.
- Check the record. Read the jamabandi on Apna Khata and follow our buying checklist.
