Officials reported that the transparent, online process attracted robust participation from investors and developers, highlighting rising confidence in Uttar Pradesh’s property market. Registrations opened on 18 September, with the entire auction managed through a digital platform that ensured equal opportunity, reduced delays, and set a benchmark for e-governance in real estate management.

The proceeds — totalling Rs 11.68 billion — will be channelled into new housing projects, urban infrastructure upgrades, and affordable home development. The funds will also support initiatives promoting inclusive growth and modernisation under the state’s housing and urban renewal agenda.

Officials confirmed that this success demonstrates the Yogi government’s commitment to transparency, investor-friendly reforms, and public welfare. The Board’s performance underscores Uttar Pradesh’s transformation into a leading investment destination with a strong focus on accountability and sustainable development.

Commenting on the achievement, senior officials said the event reflects the state’s growing real estate maturity, blending technology-driven governance with economic expansion. The e-auction’s record turnout and revenue have set a new standard for public asset monetisation in India.
