Hectare to Acre Converter for Noida & Greater Noida Land Buyers (2026 Guide)
1 hectare = 2.471 acres = 10,000 sq. meters = 11,960 sq. yards (gaj) = 107,639 sq. ft. In Noida and Greater Noida, where land is often quoted in Bigha and Biswa rather than acres, 1 hectare works out to roughly 3.95 Bigha (Pucca). Multiply hectares by 2.471 for a quick acre estimate — see the full table below for every unit real estate documents in NCR actually use.
Why This Matters More in Noida & Greater Noida Than Anywhere Else
If you’re comparing a YEIDA plot allotment letter, a builder’s brochure, and a broker’s WhatsApp message, you’ll often see three different units for the same piece of land:
- YEIDA and other UP government authorities record land in hectares or square meters (official, metric)
- Builders and RERA listings advertise in acres (the number that “sounds big” for marketing)
- Local revenue records, village land, and broker conversations still use Bigha and Biswa
Getting these wrong isn’t a small mistake — a plot quoted as “1,000 sq. m” and one quoted as “0.25 acres” can look similar at a glance but differ by over 60%. This guide converts between all of them, with real NCR examples.
Hectare to Acre — Formula
Acres = Hectares × 2.471054
Example: A 2-hectare parcel = 2 × 2.471054 = 4.94 acres
To go the other way: Hectares = Acres ÷ 2.471054
Full Conversion Table: Hectare, Acre, Sq. Meter, Sq. Yard, Bigha & Biswa
| Hectare | Sq. Meter | Acre | Sq. Yard (Gaj) | Sq. Ft | Bigha (Pucca)* | Biswa* |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5 ha | 5,000 | 1.24 | 5,980 | 53,820 | 1.98 | 39.5 |
| 1 ha | 10,000 | 2.47 | 11,960 | 1,07,639 | 3.95 | 79.1 |
| 2 ha | 20,000 | 4.94 | 23,920 | 2,15,278 | 7.91 | 158.1 |
| 5 ha | 50,000 | 12.36 | 59,799 | 5,38,196 | 19.77 | 395.3 |
| 10 ha | 1,00,000 | 24.71 | 1,19,598 | 10,76,391 | 39.54 | 790.7 |
*Bigha and Biswa figures use the Pucca Bigha commonly cited for Noida/Greater Noida (1 Bigha ≈ 3,025 sq. yd ≈ 0.625 acre; 1 Biswa = 1/20th of a Bigha). This is not a legally fixed number — Bigha size varies by district and even by tehsil within Uttar Pradesh. Always confirm the exact local figure against the Khasra/Khatauni record or your Tehsil office before relying on it for a transaction. For any RERA-registered project, use the RERA-declared carpet/plot area as the authoritative figure — never a Bigha estimate.
Real NCR Project Examples
Seeing the conversion applied to actual projects makes it easier to sanity-check any listing you’re evaluating:
| Project | Acres | Hectares | Sq. Meters | Sq. Ft | Bigha (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sobha Rivana, Sector 1, Greater Noida West | 11.76 | 4.76 | 47,604 | 5,12,266 | ~18.8 |
| ACE Parkway, Sector 150, Noida | 11.26 | 4.56 | 45,560 | 4,90,538 | ~18.0 |
Both are RERA-registered, so these figures come from official project brochures rather than Bigha estimates — this is the level of precision to expect from any project you’re comparing.
Hectares to Acres for YEIDA Plot Allotments
YEIDA (Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority) issues residential and industrial plot allotments in hectares or square meters, following standard Uttar Pradesh government land-record convention. If you’re evaluating a plot from a YEIDA scheme (including the RPS-10 results or the upcoming Sector 5-A scheme) alongside a private builder project quoted in acres, convert both to the same unit — sq. meters is usually the cleanest common denominator — before comparing plot sizes or per-unit pricing.
FAQs
How many acres is 1 hectare? 1 hectare equals 2.471 acres.
How many acres is 1 Bigha in Noida or Greater Noida? Commonly cited as approximately 0.625 acres (Pucca Bigha), but this varies by district within Uttar Pradesh. Confirm against the local Khasra/Khatauni record before relying on it for a purchase decision.
Why does my YEIDA allotment letter show hectares instead of acres? YEIDA and other UP development authorities use the metric system (hectares/sq. meters) in official records, since that’s the national standard for land administration. Builders and brokers convert to acres for marketing because it’s the more familiar unit to homebuyers.
Is Bigha the same size across Uttar Pradesh? No. Bigha has no fixed national or even state-wide standard — it varies by region and sometimes by whether it’s recorded as Pucca or Kaccha Bigha. Always verify locally rather than applying a single conversion factor to a legal transaction.
What’s the fastest way to convert a YEIDA plot size to acres? Divide the sq. meter figure by 4,046.86, or divide the hectare figure by 0.4047 (equivalently, multiply hectares by 2.471).
