Land on Ajmer Road is up more than 125% in five years. Apartments on the same road managed about 71%.
That gap is the reason plotted development dominates this corridor — along the Bagru–Mahlan stretch, over 75% of available housing inventory is plots rather than flats.
But here's the number nobody puts in the headline:
Over the last twelve months, Ajmer Road plot prices moved −3.8%.
Down. Not up. After a five-year run of 125%+, the corridor has gone flat — slightly negative — in the most recent year. (Source: 99acres Real Estate Intelligence, 2026.)
Most articles about Ajmer Road won't tell you that, because it complicates the story. We think it's the most useful thing on this page — because it changes what you should actually do next.
First, the five-year picture
The long-run numbers are genuinely strong, and they're worth seeing side by side.
| Asset type | 1 year | 3 years | 5 years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Residential plots | −3.8% | — | +125–127% |
| Apartments | +20.0% | +47.4% | +71.4% |
| Builder floors | +8.8% | +38.1% | +50.0% |

Land outperformed flats by roughly 1.75 to 1 over five years. That isn't unusual — buildings depreciate while the land beneath them doesn't, and plotted supply is finite in a way that vertical supply isn't. It is, however, unusually visible on this corridor.
Average plot rates now sit around ₹3,750 per sq ft (April 2026), with the wider range running roughly ₹1,850 to ₹5,100 depending on how far out you go and what approvals are in place.
So why did the last year go backwards?
A single year of −3.8% after five years of +125% is not a crash. It's what a market looks like when it has run hard and then pauses to digest.
Three things are worth separating here.
1. Averages hide the spread
"Ajmer Road" covers an enormous stretch — from near-city pockets to Bagru, 30-odd kilometres out. A locality average blends premium approved layouts with raw, unconverted land. When cheaper inventory enters the mix, the average can fall even where good plots held or gained.
2. The run-up pulled future growth forward
A 125% five-year move prices in a lot of expectation. Some of that was people buying the story of the Ring Road and the SEZ rather than the current reality on the ground. Markets periodically stop and wait for the infrastructure to catch up to the price.
3. Jaipur's fastest growth moved elsewhere
Over the last three years, the sharpest appreciation in Jaipur has been in Shivdaspura (+214%), Goner Road (+212%) and Vatika Road (+200%) — not Ajmer Road. Money rotates. That doesn't make Ajmer Road bad; it makes it mature relative to those corridors.
What's actually still coming
The infrastructure case here is real and largely under construction rather than merely announced:
- The Jaipur Northern Ring Road — a roughly 100 km corridor that begins at Bagru on Ajmer Road and runs to Bassi on Agra Road. Ajmer Road is one end of it, not a bystander.
- The Jaipur–Ajmer Expressway and NH-48, which put Delhi and Mumbai freight within practical reach.
- The Mahindra SEZ / Mahapura employment belt — the jobs anchor that makes housing demand real rather than speculative.
- A proposed Metro Pink Line extension from Mansarovar toward Ajmer Road, plus an underpass at the 200-feet bypass crossing and a flyover at Kamla Nehru Nagar, Heerapura.
Note the word proposed on the metro. Treat announced-but-unfunded infrastructure as a bonus, never as the basis of your purchase price.
So — is there room left?
Here is the honest answer, in three parts.
If you're hoping to repeat 125%, probably not
Anyone entering today at ₹3,750/sq ft expecting the same multiple over the next five years is buying a hope, not an analysis. The easy money on this corridor has been made.
But Ajmer Road is still Jaipur's affordable growth corridor
It remains classified as an affordable segment — around ₹4,550/sq ft on a blended basis — against Mansarovar at roughly ₹5,300, Nirman Nagar near ₹7,750, and JLN Marg above ₹19,000. There is a large price gap between Ajmer Road and central Jaipur, and gaps like that tend to compress as connectivity improves.
And a flat year is not the worst time to buy land
It is usually a better entry point than the top of a run. If your horizon is genuinely five to ten years, buying into a consolidating corridor with committed infrastructure is a more defensible decision than buying into one that has just doubled.
The real question isn't "did I miss it?" It's whether the specific plot in front of you is priced against what the corridor is today — or against what a brochure says it will be in 2032.
Five things to check before you buy on this corridor
- How far out is it, really? Ajmer Road pricing is a gradient. Ask for the distance to the Ring Road junction and to the nearest employment hub — in kilometres, not in "just 10 minutes, sir".
- Is it JDA-approved and RERA-registered? There are roughly a thousand gated-community plots on this stretch and a great deal of unapproved inventory alongside them. Verify the registration yourself on the portal.
- Is the land use actually converted? Much of the land out here is still khatedari (agricultural) in the revenue record. "Conversion is in process" means it has not happened.
- What did nearby plots actually transact at? Not the asking price. In a flat year the gap between asking and closing widens, which is quietly good news for a patient buyer.
- What's your exit? Land is illiquid. Know who buys this plot from you in seven years, and why.
The bottom line
Ajmer Road delivered an exceptional five years and a soft twelfth month. Both facts are true, and anyone showing you only one of them is selling something.
What hasn't changed is the structural case: it is the affordable end of a city growing at 65% over five years, it anchors one end of the Northern Ring Road, and it has a genuine employment engine attached. That's a reasonable place to own land — provided you buy it at today's price rather than tomorrow's.
