Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath today inaugurated the ambitious ‘Atal Puram Township’ project, marking a new chapter in Agra’s urban transformation.
It is Agra Development Authority’s (ADA) largest housing initiative in the last 36 years.
The project spans 340 acres and is a testament to the Yogi government’s vision of planned urban expansion and modern infrastructure.
A key highlight is ADA’s historic move to directly purchase land from farmers through mutual agreement, offering compensation at four times the prevailing circle rate.
The land purchase cost alone amounted to ₹784 crore, while an additional ₹731 crore will be invested in the township’s development.
‘Atal Puram’ will be developed in three phases across 11 sectors, offering housing for nearly 10,000 families.
It includes 1,430 residential plots, 18 group housing plots, and 96 commercial plots. World-class infrastructure is being integrated into the township, including underground utility ducts, sewerage systems, and a water treatment plant.
