Patna Property News: Is Hafte Kya Badla (8–14 Nov 2026)
Own a Nagar Nigam lease plot in Rajendra Nagar or Shrikrishnapuri? You may soon be allowed to build above three floors. Wait for the written order first, though.
G+3 limit to go on Nagar Nigam lease plots in Rajendra Nagar and Shrikrishnapuri
What happened: Patna Nagar Nigam's board met on 7 November, chaired by Mayor Sita Sahu. It approved 19 proposals. One removes a lease condition on Nagar Nigam lease properties in Shrikrishnapuri and Rajendra Nagar. Until now, these lease properties could be built only up to G+3: the ground floor plus three floors. The board linked the decision to the Bihar Ease of Doing Business Act, 2026. All building work will still follow the building bylaws and other rules.
What it means for you: If you hold one of these lease plots, a fourth floor may become possible. But the bylaws still decide the final height, from your plot size and road width. You still need a naksha pass (building plan approval) before you build. Wait for the Nagar Nigam's written order before you start work or pay an architect. Buying in these colonies? Don't pay a higher price just because "more floors are allowed now". Freehold for these lease plots is a separate proposal; we found no final decision on it yet.

What happened: Patna Nagar Nigam has signed an agreement with NBCC (India) Ltd. NBCC will build 12 commercial complexes and 15 vending zones on Nagar Nigam land. The total cost is about ₹365 crore, of which about ₹325 crore is for the complexes. Shops and vending space will be given to vendors and traders on a 30-year lease. The places named include Shekhpura Mor, NIT Mor, Musallahpur Haat, Kankarbagh tempo stand, Rajapur Bridge, Bahadurpur, Meena Bazaar, Sati Chowk, Gaighat and Digha fish market. NIT Mor gets an eight-storey building: shops on the lower floors and a student hostel above. The money comes from the Nagar Nigam's municipal bond of about ₹200 crore. The Nagar Nigam expects about ₹64 crore a year from these places.
What it means for you: Shops will be leased for 30 years, not sold. No price, application date or building timeline has been announced. If anyone asks for money now to "book a Nagar Nigam shop", don't pay. Wait for the Nagar Nigam's official notice. Own a shop or house near these places? Expect more footfall once they open, and some building work before that.

What happened: The six-lane bridge over the Ganga from Kachchi Dargah, on Patna's outskirts, to Bidupur in Vaishali is set to open on 21 November. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is to open it. The bridge also links Raghopur. The state has named it "Nitish Setu".
What it means for you: Patna gets one more road across the Ganga to the Vaishali side. Expect dealers to raise land prices near Kachchi Dargah and on the road to the bridge. Check the plot's papers and what it is used for before you pay, not the bridge talk. Land near the river can flood, so check the flood risk first.

Questions
Can I build a fourth floor on my Rajendra Nagar lease plot now?
Not yet. The board has approved removing the G+3 limit, but the written order is not out. Even after it, the bylaws decide the height, and you need a naksha pass first.
How do I get a shop in the new Nagar Nigam complexes?
No application process has been announced. Shops will be on a 30-year lease. Wait for the Nagar Nigam's official notice and don't pay any middleman.
Will land prices near Kachchi Dargah go up after the bridge opens?
Dealers will say so. Check the plot's papers and flood risk, and compare real sale prices nearby, before you pay more.
