Why land prices use different units in Tamil Nadu

• Rs. per Square Foot
  The standard for apartments, villas and urban plots. Builders, listings and banks quote construction and sale prices per square foot.

  Used in metric records, planning approvals and many official documents. One square meter equals 10.7639 square feet.
• Rs. per Ground
  The traditional Chennai unit for residential plots. One ground equals 2,400 square feet.
• Rs. per Cent
  The most common unit for plots and small land parcels across Tamil Nadu districts. One cent equals 435.6 square feet.
• Rs. per Acre
  The standard for agricultural and large land parcels. One acre equals 100 cents or 43,560 square feet.

How the price conversion works

Converting a price between two units is the reverse of converting an area. If a unit is bigger, the price per unit is proportionally higher. The formula is simple: multiply the price by the size of the target unit and divide by the size of the source unit, both measured in the same base unit such as square feet.

For example, one square meter is 10.7639 square feet. So a price of Rs. 5,000 per square meter equals Rs. 5,000 divided by 10.7639, which is Rs. 464.52 per square foot. In the other direction, Rs. 100 per square foot equals Rs. 100 multiplied by 10.7639, which is Rs. 1,076.39 per square meter.
