Common Plot Sizes in Gaj, with Square Feet for Each
A chart of the plot sizes that appear in North-India listings, 25 to 500 gaj, converted to square feet at the 9 convention with the Google guz figure alongside. Spotlights on 50, 75, 150 and 200 gaj.
Sizes
Plot listings in Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana and Punjab quote sizes in gaj because that is the unit on the deed. Builders and portals quote square feet. This page is the bridge: the sizes that appear again and again, converted once, so you can read a listing without a calculator.
How to read the chart
The middle column uses the plot convention, 1 gaj = 9 square feet, which is what the deed means. The right column uses the Google Units square guz, 8.91359 square feet, for readers matching a number from a unit-converter card. The two differ by about 1%; the gaj vs guz article explains why.

Larger sizes
