How to Convert Square Feet to Gaj

One gaj equals exactly 9 square feet — gaj is the Hindi name for a square yard (3 ft × 3 ft). To convert, divide square feet by 9: a 900 sq ft plot = 100 gaj, and a 200 gaj plot = 1,800 sq ft. This converter works both directions and also shows the area in square meters for government paperwork.

Plot sizes across Rajasthan, Delhi NCR, Haryana, Punjab and UP are almost always quoted in gaj — you'll hear “100 gaj ka plot” far more often than the square-feet figure. But building plans, construction estimates and apartment comparisons run in square feet, and registry documents often use square meters. Property dealers, buyers and builders convert between all three constantly when quoting rates (₹ per gaj vs ₹ per sq ft), checking plot dimensions against the patta, or comparing plots of different stated units.

Common plot sizes

50 gaj = 450 sq ft • 100 gaj = 900 sq ft • 150 gaj = 1,350 sq ft • 200 gaj = 1,800 sq ft • 250 gaj = 2,250 sq ft • 500 gaj = 4,500 sq ft. Rate tip: ₹50,000 per gaj equals about ₹5,556 per sq ft. For any other size, use the converter above.
