Tappal has been getting a lot of attention lately. Located in the Aligarh district of Uttar Pradesh, this small but rapidly developing town is seeing a surge in real estate activity. With the upcoming Jewar International Airport just a short drive away, it’s no surprise that people are exploring Tappal as a serious option for investment or even settling down. But before you commit to buying a home plot here, there are a few things you need to know.
Why Tappal is on Everyone’s Radar
There is growing interest in residential plots in Tappal for a few key reasons. First, the proposed Jewar Airport (officially named Noida International Airport) is only about 25 km away. This project alone is expected to change the entire landscape of the region. Infrastructure is improving, connectivity is expanding, and more people are looking at Tappal as the next big thing in NCR’s extended growth zone.
Add to that the Yamuna Expressway, which runs close by, making Delhi and Greater Noida easily accessible. Plus, the government is pumping investment into nearby industrial zones, including the Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority (YEIDA) area. Tappal lies close to these developments, making it a strategic location.
What You Should Watch Out For
Not everything is rosy, though. Tappal’s sudden boom means there are plenty of land offerings, but not all of them are worth your time or money. Many online forums like India Real Estate Forum and Reddit threads have flagged concerns around:
- Clear title and ownership : Always double-check that the land title is clean and that the seller actually owns the land. Don’t skip this step.
- Approvals and land use : Is the plot part of a planned residential zone? Some lands are sold without the right zoning or approval. This can lead to legal issues down the line.
- Developer reputation : Do some background checks on who is selling the land. Just because they have a flashy site office doesn’t mean they are legit.
Infrastructure on the Ground
One of the biggest selling points for Tappal is what is being planned, but what about what is already there? You should visit the area yourself. Look at roads, water supply, electricity, and proximity to schools or hospitals. At this stage, some parts of Tappal have decent infrastructure, but others are still catching up. It really depends on which side of town you’re exploring.
Some residential colonies are being planned with amenities like parks, security, and gated access. These are generally priced higher but might be worth the premium if you are planning to build and live there.
What Are People Saying Online?
If you browse real estate forums, you will notice a common pattern: excitement mixed with caution. The potential for appreciation is real, but only if you are careful with where and how you invest.
A recent thread on India Real Estate Forum mentioned that some people who bought plots in 2018-2019 have already seen value appreciation, especially those closer to the expressway or in approved colonies. Others are still waiting for development to pick up.
Costs and Comparisons
Rates for residential plots in Tappal vary depending on location, developer, and approval status. On average, prices range from INR 6000 to INR 12,000 per square yard as of early 2025. That’s still cheaper than Noida Extension or even some parts of Greater Noida. For those looking for long-term appreciation, that price gap is a key attraction.
Should You Buy Now?
If you are an investor with a long-term view, Tappal has potential. The airport, improved infrastructure, and industrial development will likely push prices up over the next 5-10 years.
If you are looking to build and live soon, be very selective. Make sure the plot is in a livable area with access to basic services. It is not everywhere there yet.
