Selling agricultural land
Owners holding tenanted, partitioned or family-held farmland in Gujarat — including NRI-owned parcels — looking for a clean exit to an industrial buyer, a developer, or a fellow farmer.
Most of Gujarat's industrial land begins as agricultural. Whether you're selling farmland, buying for industrial use under Section 63AA, converting an existing parcel to NA for warehouse or commercial development, or untangling a partition or succession chain before listing — we handle the route, the documentation and the buyer pool.
Our primary work is industrial, commercial and warehouse advisory. Agricultural land sits next to all of it, so the expertise is natural — and a single conversation usually settles whether your file is a 63AA industrial sale, a Section 65 NA conversion, a clean farmer-to-farmer transfer, or something that needs documentation work first.

Non-farmer companies buying agricultural land for a bona-fide industrial purpose under Section 63AA of the Gujarat Tenancy & Agricultural Lands Act — with the post-purchase notice and Industries Commissioner permission worked into the timeline.
Converting agricultural land to non-agricultural use for warehouse, commercial, residential or mixed-use development. Standard 8–12 weeks on clean title and a clean zoning overlay; longer when zoning has to change too.
Partition deeds, succession certificates, joint-family settlements — most Gujarat land files have one of these in the chain, and most buyers will not close until they're clean.
Bona-fide farmer-eligibility plots and farm-zone parcels around Ahmedabad, Vadodara and Surat. We work the corridor, the title chain and the conversion question if industrial buyers later arrive.
Buyers who qualify under the farmer test — Gujarat or other-state — wanting to buy agricultural land for cultivation. Eligibility is documentation-led; we map the path before the parcel.
Under Section 63AA of the Gujarat Tenancy & Agricultural Lands Act, a non-farmer company can buy agricultural land for bona-fide industrial purpose. Post-purchase notice goes to the Collector and Mamlatdar within 30 days; Industries Commissioner permission is required for parcels above 10 hectares. The route is well-trodden across Sanand, Hansalpur, Halol, Dahej and the Bharuch chemical belt.
Section 65 of the Gujarat Land Revenue Code converts agricultural land to non-agricultural. Clean agricultural title with a standard zoning overlay typically converts in 8–12 weeks. Zoning change (e.g., agricultural to commercial) adds 4–6 months. The Collector's office is the sanctioning authority.
Where the buyer qualifies as a farmer under the Tenancy Act, agricultural land transfers stay simple. Eligibility is documentation-led — 7/12, 8A, prior cultivation history. We confirm the test before parcel diligence.
Most Gujarat farmland sits inside a joint family or has succession history. The cost of a clean exit is almost always the cost of clean documentation. We coordinate the partition deed, succession certificate and encumbrance release before listing the parcel for an industrial buyer.
A non-farmer company can buy agricultural land in Gujarat for a bona-fide industrial purpose under Section 63AA of the Gujarat Tenancy & Agricultural Lands Act. The buyer must give post-purchase notice to the Collector and Mamlatdar within 30 days, and obtain Industries Commissioner permission for parcels above 10 hectares. Outside industrial use, only buyers who qualify as farmers under the Act may purchase agricultural land.
Section 65 NA conversion typically takes 8–12 weeks on clean agricultural title with a standard zoning overlay. If a zoning change is required (for example, agricultural to commercial), the file usually extends by 4–6 months. The Collector's office is the sanctioning authority. Most slowdowns are documentation-led, not administrative.
Under FEMA, NRIs and OCIs cannot purchase agricultural land, plantation property, or farmhouse plots in India. Inheritance from a resident relative is allowed, and so is sale of inherited agricultural land to a resident Indian. NRIs can buy non-agricultural commercial and industrial land freely. We handle the NRI inheritance-and-exit flow regularly.
Industrial buyers will want clean agricultural title (7/12, 8A, prior mutations all aligned), a Section 63AA-eligible buyer route, and a clear answer on post-purchase notices and approvals. Sellers who pre-clean partition history and encumbrances close materially faster than those who don't. Our desk represents both sides regularly across Sanand, Hansalpur, Halol, Dahej and the Bharuch belt.
Jantri is the Gujarat government's notified market valuation for stamp duty and registration. Agricultural land jantri is generally lower than commercial or industrial NA jantri, but stamp duty is paid on the higher of jantri or actual consideration. On Section 63AA industrial purchases, the buyer typically pays at industrial-NA-equivalent valuation as part of the route.
7/12 (Sat-Bara), 8A, mutation register entries, prior sale deeds, partition deed where applicable, succession certificate where applicable, encumbrance certificate, and the village map (Gam Naksha). Industrial buyers will additionally want a survey and a parcel-level title opinion. Pre-cleaning these saves 30–60 days at closing.
Farmhouse construction on agricultural land is restricted by the Gujarat Land Revenue Code and depends on the parcel's zoning, the buyer's farmer eligibility, and local TP-scheme rules. We map the route — including conversion paths and TP overlay — before LOI rather than after.
Our primary expertise is industrial, commercial and warehouse land. We handle agricultural enquiries when the seller is open to industrial buyers (Sanand-Hansalpur-Halol-Dahej fringes), or when the buyer has a clear non-agricultural conversion plan. We don't run a generic agricultural listing service.
One call settles whether your file is a 63AA industrial sale, a Section 65 NA conversion, a farmer-to-farmer transfer, or a documentation clean-up first.
