New Delhi [India], April 24: Buying farmland or Agri land in India has always been simple in theory and chaotic in practice. The asset is solid. The returns are real. The tax advantages are hard to beat. Yet ask any investor who has actually tried to buy agricultural land and you will hear the same story: months of broker calls, incomplete documents, zero pricing data, and a closing process that felt like navigating a bureaucracy in another language. Dealyards, launched in March 2026, is the first platform in India that treats farmland as a serious investment category and builds the infrastructure to match. Unlike conventional property listing portals, Dealyards operates as a complete investment system, from discovery to registered ownership, with verified data at every step.
THE MARKET REALITY
India’s agricultural land market is valued at over Rs. 6.4 lakh crore and is growing at a compound rate of 12 to 15 percent. That is a large number attached to a market that, until now, had no organised investment channel whatsoever.
The problem was structural. Sellers had no visibility into real demand. Buyers had no access to pricing benchmarks or legal certainty. Brokers controlled the flow of information and had every incentive to keep it that way. A serious investor wanting to buy verified farmland in a high-growth corridor like Alwar, Rajasthan would typically spend three to six months navigating local agents, hiring independent lawyers, arranging soil assessments, and still close a deal with significant legal uncertainty baked in.
This is not a niche problem. It affects every Indian professional, NRI, or high-net-worth individual who has looked at farmland as a portfolio addition and then walked away because the process was too opaque. The investment appetite existed; the infrastructure to support it did not until now.
Investor Note: Several Indian states including Maharashtra and Karnataka restrict the purchase of agricultural land to registered farmers. Prospective investors are advised to verify applicable state-level restrictions before transacting. Dealyards’ advisory team provides state-specific guidance as part of its due diligence process.
INSIDE THE DEALYARDS PLATFORM
Dealyards was built by Avyaya Proptech Private Limited under the leadership of CA Jatin Kapoor, a finance and real estate professional with 15 years of experience in process re-engineering, compliance, and project financing.
First, curated discovery. Over 75 percent of Dealyards’ inventory is exclusive and unavailable on any other channel. The platform currently hosts 100-plus active listings with a target of 500 by year-end. Smart filters allow buyers to search by state, area size, price range, and purpose whether investment, lifestyle, cultivation, or long-term appreciation.
Second, institutional-grade due diligence available to anyone. For Rs. 999 per report, buyers receive a basic legal verification covering ownership, land records, and revenue maps. For Rs. 9,999 per report, a complete 30-year title search is conducted with NOC procurement and full documentation review. This level of legal preparation previously required hiring a private legal team.
Third, data-backed pricing. Properties are listed with ROI projections supported by 25 years of historical data comparing farmland returns against gold, equities, fixed deposits, and real estate. The numbers favour farmland in the right locations.
Fourth, a fractional ownership option. Using an LLP structure, Dealyards allows two or three investors to co-own a property with clearly defined shares, rental yield distribution, and a structured exit mechanism via re-listing on the platform. This is a private co-ownership arrangement and does not constitute a Collective Investment Scheme (CIS) under SEBI regulations.
Fifth, post-sale management. After registration, most buyers discover a list of remaining formalities they never expected. Dealyards handles all of it.
A NEW ERA OF TRANSPARENCY
The numbers from Dealyards’ advisory practice speak directly to the gap this platform fills. Before the technology layer, the team had already facilitated over Rs. 200 crore in farmland transactions, served 90-plus investors, and earned a 4.8 out of 5 satisfaction rating. The 35 percent repeat investor rate is the clearest signal of all. Investors came back.
Dealyards operates with a pan-India vision, building verified inventory across all 28 states as the platform scales. Its current focus is the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway corridor one of the most consequential infrastructure projects in India’s modern history cutting travel time between the country’s two largest economic centres and actively reshaping land values across four states.
Peri-urban and agricultural belts running along this corridor have documented appreciation histories, driven by logistics parks, industrial zones, and the residential demand that follows major connectivity upgrades. For investors, this corridor represents the same infrastructure-led land appreciation thesis that has quietly built wealth for early movers around every major highway project India has completed this time, however, with a structured, data-backed platform to access it.
Complementary initiatives such as the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor are simultaneously improving connectivity and reinforcing land values across the same belt.
Land in the Naugaon, Chikani, and Tijara belts is currently priced at Rs. 10 to 50 lakh per bigha. These are not projections. They are today’s entry points into a corridor with documented 8 to 15 percent annual appreciation over the past decade.
Farmland income is exempt under Section 10(1) of the Income Tax Act. Capital gains on rural agricultural land carry similar protections. Few asset classes offer this combination of return and tax efficiency.
