Dholera quotes rates in square yards, the DICDL card quotes square metres, and villages still talk in bigha. Most pricing confusion in this market is a unit mismatch.

A worked example
The DICDL allotment rate for residential land is ₹6,000 per square metre. A seller quotes you ₹9,000 per square yard and calls it a discount to the official rate. It is not.
One square yard is 0.8361 square metres, so ₹6,000 per square metre is about ₹5,017 per square yard. The ₹9,000 quote is roughly 80% above the allotment reference, not below it.
That may still be a perfectly fair market price — authority allotment rates and open-market rates are different things, and the market has traded above the card for years. But you should know which side of the comparison you are on before you agree to anything. See the full DICDL rate card →
