Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh government has stepped up its process to construct a new legislature complex in the state capital. The new Vidhan Bhawan is slated to be constructed on Sahara City land in the Gomti Nagar locality of the state capital.
The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has initiated the process of appointing a consultant, following government instructions.
An LDA source here on Tuesday stated that approximately 10 months ago, the LDA took possession of 75 acres of its land in Sahara City. Subsequently, in September last, the Lucknow Municipal Corporation took possession of 170 acres of its land after cancelling the lease. This leaves a total of 245 acres vacant. Now, preparations are underway to build a new Legislature complex on this land.
The UP government in the last budget (2025-26) had allotted Rs 50 crore for the new Legislature complex.
Sources said that on the government’s instructions, the land measurement report has been submitted. Further developments are underway to appoint a consultant and prepare a DPR and design.
Experts say that the government has been searching for approximately 200 acres of land for the construction of a new legislative complex for several years.
The total land area here, including 170 acres owned by the Municipal Corporation and 75 acres owned by the Local Development Authority (LDA), is 245 acres. The site is suitable for both location and traffic flow.
