JDA Kardhani, Mansharampura and Bainad Plot Scheme Jaipur 2026: Real Odds and How to Apply

If you applied for a JDA plot this month and did not get one, you were not unlucky in any unusual way -- you were one of roughly 1.52 lakh applicants chasing just 716 plots. That is the real headline buried inside JDA's latest lottery results, and it is also exactly why JDA has already rushed out three new schemes in Mansharampura, Kardhani and Bainad. Here is what the numbers actually mean, where these new plots sit, and how to decide between waiting for a lottery and buying resale today.

What Just Happened: 1.52 Lakh Applications for 716 JDA Plots

JDA's recent plot lottery covered three schemes -- Atal Vihar, Govind Vihar and Patel Nagar -- offering a combined 716 plots. According to reporting on JDA's own application data, these schemes together drew around 1.52 lakh applications. That is an extraordinary mismatch between demand and supply, and it is worth sitting with for a moment before you apply for the next JDA scheme assuming your odds will be any different.

The Real Odds: Doing the Math on JDA's Lottery

Divide 1,52,000 applications by 716 plots and you get roughly 212. In plain terms, for every 212 people who applied, only one walked away with a plot. This is not a comment on any individual applicant's paperwork or eligibility -- it is simply what happens when a JDA scheme is priced well below open-market resale rates in a city where demand for JDA-approved plots has stayed strong. If you are applying purely on hope, go in with this number in your head rather than a vague sense that "someone has to win."

JDA's Response: Three New Schemes in Mansharampura, Kardhani and Bainad

Partly because of how lopsided the Atal Vihar-Govind Vihar-Patel Nagar lottery turned out, JDA has opened three fresh schemes -- in Mansharampura, Kardhani and Bainad -- offering a combined 850 more plots. This is a larger plot count than the previous round, but given how this month's lottery played out, demand is likely to be heavy here too. If you are seriously considering applying, the window to do so is live now, not something to plan for "later in the year."

Where Kardhani Sits: The Jhotwara-Vidyadhar Nagar Connection

Kardhani is not an isolated pocket -- it sits inside the broader Jhotwara-Vidyadhar Nagar belt, an area that has also been getting separate infrastructure attention. JDA's recent Projects Works Committee meeting cleared over Rs 575 crore for eight infrastructure projects, including work touching Jhotwara and a reported Rs 234.58 crore drainage push relevant to the Jhotwara-Kalwar Road stretch. None of this guarantees any future price movement for a Kardhani plot, and we are not going to claim that it does -- but it does mean the surrounding road and drainage network in this belt is getting worked on, which is a reasonable thing to factor into a practical, non-speculative buying decision.

If you already own or are considering resale plots in this belt, you can browse current Jhotwara listings and the wider Kalwar Road corridor on Cityyframe to compare against what a JDA lottery plot would cost you in time and uncertainty.

Neither route comes with any promise of future value -- this table is only about certainty, process and timelines, not returns.

How to Apply for the Kardhani-Mansharampura-Bainad Scheme

If you decide to try the new JDA scheme, treat it like any JDA lottery application:

1. Check JDA's official scheme notification for Mansharampura, Kardhani and Bainad for the exact eligibility conditions, documents required and the application deadline -- these details come directly from JDA and can change, so always confirm on JDA's own channels before paying any fee.

2. Keep your identity, address and income-category documents ready in the format JDA specifies, since incomplete applications are typically rejected outright rather than queued.

3. Apply within the window JDA sets -- given how heavily subscribed the previous Atal Vihar-Govind Vihar-Patel Nagar round was, do not wait until the last day.

4. In parallel, shortlist two or three resale plots in the Jhotwara-Vidyadhar Nagar belt as a backup, so a lottery miss does not leave you starting your search from zero.

What About the Price List?

If you searched for a Kardhani plot price list, here is the honest answer: at the time of writing, JDA has not published a detailed, locality-wise price list for the new Mansharampura, Kardhani and Bainad scheme in the sources we have reviewed. JDA scheme rates are typically announced through the official scheme notification and are linked to government reckoning, not open-market comparables. Rather than guess at a figure, the more useful exercise right now is to compare what resale plots in the adjoining Jhotwara belt are currently asking for on Cityyframe, so you have a real market anchor while you wait for JDA's own rate announcement.

For Builders and Brokers

If you are a developer or broker with plot or flat inventory near Kardhani, Jhotwara, Vidyadhar Nagar or the wider Kalwar Road stretch, this is exactly the moment buyers are actively comparing a JDA lottery plot against resale stock in your project's neighbourhood -- listing with Cityyframe puts your inventory in front of that specific buyer search.

The Bottom Line

A 1 in 212 shot is not a reason to avoid the JDA lottery altogether -- it is a reason to apply with clear eyes and a backup plan. The new Mansharampura, Kardhani and Bainad scheme gives you 850 more chances, in a belt that is also seeing real road and drainage investment from JDA. Whether you end up with a lottery plot or a resale plot in Jhotwara or along Kalwar Road, verify every document independently and do not base your decision on any promised future price movement -- base it on what the plot, the paperwork and the neighbourhood actually look like today.

FAQs

Q: What are my real odds of winning a JDA plot lottery in 2026?

A: Based on JDA's most recent lottery for Atal Vihar, Govind Vihar and Patel Nagar, 716 plots drew around 1.52 lakh applications, which works out to roughly 1 in 212 odds. Odds can vary scheme to scheme depending on how many plots are offered and how popular the location is.

Q: Where are the new JDA Mansharampura, Kardhani and Bainad plots located?

A: Kardhani sits within the broader Jhotwara-Vidyadhar Nagar belt in Jaipur. Mansharampura and Bainad are the other two localities covered under this new JDA scheme, which together offer around 850 plots.

Q: How many plots are available in the new JDA scheme?

A: JDA has opened roughly 850 plots across the Mansharampura, Kardhani and Bainad schemes combined, following the heavily oversubscribed Atal Vihar, Govind Vihar and Patel Nagar lottery.

Q: Is a resale plot in Jhotwara or along Kalwar Road a better option than a JDA lottery plot?

A: It depends on what you value. A JDA lottery plot usually comes at a government-linked rate but with no certainty of winning and no choice of exact location. A resale plot lets you choose the specific plot and move faster, provided you independently verify the title, khata and conversion status. Neither option carries any guarantee of future value.

Q: How do I apply for the JDA Kardhani-Mansharampura-Bainad scheme?

A: Check JDA's official scheme notification for the exact eligibility criteria, required documents and application deadline, keep your documents ready in the specified format, and submit within the stated window. Always confirm details directly through JDA's official channels before paying any application fee.

Q: What is the price list for plots in the new Kardhani JDA scheme?

A: JDA has not published a detailed locality-wise price list for the Mansharampura, Kardhani and Bainad scheme in the information available at the time of writing. JDA typically announces scheme rates through its official notification. Meanwhile, comparing current resale plot prices in the adjoining Jhotwara belt can give you a market reference point.
