Nagpur Land Cost

Nagpur has distinctive zones marked for differential land costs. There are high cost attached to dense areas. There are high cost attached to older areas. There are high cost attached to areas close to roads. High costs are also attached to commertial and strategic areas.The central areas are more costlier than other areas due to historic settlement pattern along with forts and railways.But as development of Nagpur being the core of NIT( Nagpur Improvement trust) ,it planned and establised some quality residential areas in Nagpur. The residential planning focus was Western part, therefore the cost of Nagpur is more on west that east. Seeing current development happening on Wardha road I.e on NH6, the current appreciation in this part of the city has soared at historic high levels. However the rich and affluent mass likes to reside in West Nagpur, where as most of the slums are observed in east and South -east areas. Older city is more towards east.
