The land’s reserve price is Rs 19.50 crores. The total land area is 1,26,031 sqm, of which 55,890 sqm will be leased for 99 years for development and the rest will be used to redevelop the railway officers’ colony in Bhopal West. In phase one, the lessee will receive the entire site.

The proposed location is in Old Bhopal. Chola Road, which is 24 metres wide, and an internal road, which is 18 metres wide and connects Chola Road to the Bhopal Railway Station, provide access to the site.
