Why this is a golden opportunity

1) You’re paying far below market

• Typical Tapovan asks: ₹1.5 lakh/gaj

• This plot: ~₹71,429/gaj

• Savings per gaj: ~₹78,571

• Total notional saving: ~₹1.1 crore on a 140-gaj parcel (vs. ₹2.1 cr at market ask)

2) Built-in upside (illustrative math)

• If the micro-market price normalizes to ₹1.5 lakh/gaj, the notional value becomes ₹2.1 cr — an ~110% paper gain versus buy-price.

• Even at a conservative ₹1.2 lakh/gaj, value ≈ ₹1.68 cr — still a strong delta.

(Markets move; do your diligence. These are illustrations, not guarantees.)
