Bikaner, a major city in western Rajasthan, offers residential land opportunities across several planned development areas. The Bikaner Development Authority (BDA) oversees urban development and the disposal of properties under its jurisdiction. For buyers considering a residential plot in Bikaner, government-authority auctions provide an alternative to privately marketed land, although location, available infrastructure, permitted land use and final auction prices must be assessed individually.
The Bikaner Development Authority has announced an October 2026 e-auction of 42 plots across five locations. The inventory includes 33 residential plots and nine commercial or mixed-use plots. Starting assessed values begin at approximately ₹28.08 lakh, with online bidding scheduled from 7 to 14 October 2026.
Where are the 42 BDA plots located?
The advertised plots are distributed across five residential and commercial locations in Bikaner.
Important: The nine plots in the Purani Jail Complex comprise three commercial plots and six commercial-cum-residential plots. They should not be treated as ordinary residential land.
BDA Bikaner plot sizes and starting prices
The five locations have different plot sizes and starting assessed values.
How much EMD is required for the Bikaner plot auction?
To participate in an e-auction, applicants must deposit an (EMD) for their selected property.
The deposit is generally calculated at approximately 2% of the starting assessed value, with the actual payable amount shown against each plot.
For example, a buyer interested in the ₹28.08 lakh Swarna Jayanti Township plot would need to arrange an EMD of ₹56,160.
The EMD allows an eligible applicant to participate in bidding. It is not the complete purchase price.
Applicants should verify the exact EMD for their chosen plot on the government portal, as the amount differs according to area and starting bid rate.
