Bhopal Junction and the redeveloped Rani Kamlapati station link the city to Delhi, Mumbai and the rest of India. Raja Bhoj International Airport serves the city, and the first stretch of the Bhopal Metro began running on 21 December 2025.

Kolar Road and Gaurav Nagar

Kolar Road is one of Bhopal’s busiest residential corridors. The main road has been widened to six lanes, and the area is roughly 10 to 12 km from New Market and TT Nagar, with Delhi Public School Kolar Road, markets, clinics and colleges along the way. Property portals list MP Housing Board’s Gaurav Nagar project at Bairagarh Chichli on Kolar Road as ready to move, with RERA registration P-BPL-17-060 and a listed possession date of June 2018.

Two things to keep in mind: these are compact flats of about 503 sq ft, and Kolar Road has fewer large hospitals than central Bhopal, so residents usually travel to AIIMS or Shahpura for hospital care.

The scheme in brief

MP Housing Board’s Bhopal Division 2 (Circle Bhopal-1) has opened registration for 15 LIG flats on the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th floors of a multistorey building in its Gaurav Nagar scheme. Each flat has a built-up area of 46.75 sq m (about 503 sq ft) and an estimated cost of ₹14.91 lakh. To apply, you pay a form fee of ₹590 and a registration amount of ₹1,35,532. The scheme runs from 2 November to 30 November 2026 on the board’s MPOnline portal, mphidb.mponline.gov.in.

The purchase option is listed as SFS, which in housing board terms usually means a self-financing scheme. The listing does not spell out what that means for the balance payment, so treat the payment schedule as something to confirm.

MP Housing Board Gaurav Nagar LIG flats: quick facts

These details come from the scheme’s registration page on the MP Housing Board portal.

Here is how the money breaks down, based on the estimated cost on the portal:

The form fee looks like ₹500 plus 18% GST. MP Housing Board’s user manual says the registration amount can be paid in one go or in 2 to 8 parts. Maintenance, any GST on the flat and other board charges are not shown on the listing, so add a buffer.

The Carpet Area value check

At ₹14.91 lakh for about 503 sq ft of built-up area, the board is asking roughly ₹2,963 per sq ft. Here is how that compares:

The board’s price is in line with new projects on Kolar Road but about 14% above resale listings in the same project. What you pay extra for is a fresh allotment from the board itself, with no broker, and a title that comes straight from the government. If a resale flat in the same complex suits you and its papers are clean, it may cost less, so compare both before you apply.

Key dates

The date that matters most is 30 November 2026, the last day of the scheme.

Carpet Area verdict

This is a sensible buy for the right person, not a bargain. The board is pricing these flats in line with new projects on Kolar Road, slightly above resale listings in the same complex. What you get in return is a direct government sale, a low amount to apply, and a home in an established corridor.

Apply if:

• Your household income fits the LIG limit and you want your first home in Bhopal
• You want a compact flat for a small family, or for parents who want a home close to family on Kolar Road
• You can arrange the ₹13.55 lakh balance, through savings or a home loan, once allotted

Skip if:

• You are looking for rental yield or quick resale gains
• You need more than about 500 sq ft of space
• You find a resale flat in the same complex with clean papers at a lower price

Our advice: visit Gaurav Nagar, compare one or two resale flats in the complex, and read the scheme’s terms on the portal. If the board’s flat still comes out ahead on condition and paperwork, apply before 30 November.
