Choosing between configurations is the most consequential decision a plotted buyer makes, because unlike an apartment you cannot change your mind about size once you have built. The Sarayu Ayodhya by House of Abhinandan Lodha offers three formats — Villa Plot, Royal Plot and Premium Villa Plot — and while the difference between them looks modest on paper, it changes what you can build, what you pay and how the asset behaves on resale. This guide compares them properly.
The Three Configurations Side by Side
| Configuration | Plot Area | Indicative Price | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Villa Plot | 1,248 – 1,250 sq.ft. | Rs 1.89 Cr – Rs 1.90 Cr* | Available |
| Royal Plot | 1,500 sq.ft. | Price on Request | Available |
| Premium Villa Plot | 1,507 sq.ft. | Price on Request | Available |
*Pricing and specifications are tentative and subject to revision based on final approvals. All configurations sit within the same gated layout near the Sarayu River and share access to the project's forty-plus amenities.
Villa Plot — 1,248 to 1,250 sq.ft.
The entry configuration and the format that anchors the widely quoted Sarayu Ayodhya price of Rs 1.89 Cr onwards.
What You Can Build
A 1,250 square foot parcel comfortably supports a well-planned home across ground plus one or two levels, subject to local setback and floor-area regulations. Realistically that translates into a three- or four-bedroom home with adequate living and dining space, a compact private garden or courtyard and covered parking. It is a genuinely liveable second home rather than a token structure.
Who It Suits
Buyers entering Ayodhya's luxury segment at the most accessible price point. First-time second-home buyers. Investors prioritising capital efficiency and eventual resale liquidity — smaller ticket sizes historically move faster in secondary markets. NRIs testing the market before committing further.
The Trade-Off
Setbacks consume proportionally more of a smaller parcel, so the usable ground footprint is tighter. Buyers who want expansive single-level living, a substantial garden or an outdoor entertaining area will feel the constraint.
Royal Plot — 1,500 sq.ft.
The mid-tier configuration, priced on request, adding roughly 250 square feet over the entry format — a twenty per cent increase in land.
What You Can Build
That additional land changes the architectural conversation more than the percentage suggests. After setbacks, a Royal Plot gives an architect meaningful room for a wider frontage, a proper entrance sequence, a larger ground-floor living area, and either a genuine garden or a central courtyard. Four-bedroom homes with staff or guest accommodation become straightforward rather than tight.
Who It Suits
Families intending to actually use the home during extended festival stays and holidays. Multi-generational buyers who need ground-floor bedrooms. Buyers who value outdoor space as much as built area. Those who want headroom to expand later without regretting the original decision.
The Trade-Off
A higher entry price and, because pricing is on request, less transparency at the shortlisting stage. You will need to obtain a specific cost sheet for the plot number under consideration.
Premium Villa Plot — 1,507 sq.ft.
The top configuration, marginally larger than the Royal Plot in raw area but typically differentiated by position within the layout.
What Actually Differentiates It
The seven square foot difference is immaterial. What distinguishes the Premium Villa Plot is location within the development — proximity to the grand clubhouse, the amphitheatre and floating stage, landscaped gardens, open green areas or the landscaped boulevards. In plotted developments, position drives value far more than marginal area.
Who It Suits
High-net-worth buyers building a flagship second home. Those who want the best available outlook and the shortest walk to amenities. Investors betting on the fact that premium-positioned plots historically outperform interior plots on both appreciation and resale speed.
The Trade-Off
The highest entry price, and the smallest pool of available inventory. Premium-positioned plots in launch-phase releases tend to be absorbed early.
How to Actually Choose
Start With Intended Use, Not Budget
If the plot is a pure land-banking exercise and you have no intention of building, area and position matter less than entry price and exit liquidity — the Villa Plot is the efficient choice. If you intend to build and use the home, the extra land in a Royal or Premium Villa Plot pays for itself in liveability every single visit.
Model Your Total Cost, Not Just the Land
Construction cost scales with built area, and built area scales with plot size. A larger plot means a larger home means a larger build budget. Buyers frequently stretch on land and then compromise on construction quality, which is the wrong order of priorities.
Weigh Position Against Area
Between a larger interior plot and a smaller plot facing the clubhouse or a landscaped garden, the market has historically rewarded position. Preferential location charges exist precisely because position is what future buyers pay for.
Consider Orientation
In this buyer segment, Vastu orientation influences a meaningful share of decisions. East and north-facing plots typically command a premium and resell more readily. Ask for the orientation of each shortlisted plot number, not just the configuration.
Think About the Exit
Smaller configurations generally have a wider buyer pool and faster resale. Larger, premium-positioned plots have a narrower pool but a higher ceiling. Match this to your holding horizon.
A Practical Decision Framework
- Investment-first, five-year horizon: Villa Plot — lowest entry, best liquidity
- Second home for regular family use: Royal Plot — the best balance of cost and liveability
- Flagship home or long-horizon hold: Premium Villa Plot — position and outlook justify the premium
- Multi-generational occupancy: Royal or Premium — ground-floor bedroom planning needs the frontage
- Capital-constrained entry into the market: Villa Plot
Questions to Ask Before Selecting a Plot Number
- What is the exact plot number, its orientation and its position relative to amenities?
- What preferential location charges apply, and how are they calculated?
- Does this plot fall within the RERA-registered Phase 1 under UPRERAPRJ311468?
- What are the applicable setback rules and permissible floor-area ratio?
- Are there layout-level design guidelines governing height, facade or boundary treatment?
- What is the all-in cost including infrastructure charges, amenity contribution, stamp duty and registration?
The Bottom Line
All three configurations share the same address near the Sarayu River, the same fifteen-minute access to Shri Ram Mandir, the same gated security and the same amenity programme. The choice is therefore about how you intend to live in the home and how long you intend to hold it — not about which configuration is objectively better.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which configuration is best for investment?
For a pure investment horizon, the Villa Plot at 1,248 to 1,250 square feet usually wins on capital efficiency and resale liquidity, since smaller ticket sizes move faster in a maturing secondary market. Premium-positioned plots have a higher ceiling but a narrower buyer pool.
Is the Premium Villa Plot worth the extra cost over the Royal Plot?
The seven square foot area difference is immaterial. What you are paying for is position inside the layout, typically proximity to the clubhouse, the amphitheatre, landscaped gardens or the boulevards. In plotted developments, position drives value considerably more than marginal area, so the premium is defensible if the specific plot's outlook justifies it.
Can I combine two adjacent plots?
This depends on layout rules, sanctioned plot demarcation and local building regulations, and it must be confirmed with the developer before booking. Any amalgamation also needs to be reflected correctly in the RERA record and the registered sale deed.
Does plot orientation affect price?
Yes. East and north-facing plots typically command a premium in this buyer segment and generally resell more readily, since Vastu orientation influences a meaningful share of purchase decisions. Ask for the orientation of each shortlisted plot number rather than just the configuration.
