Land Area Unit Converter India
Convert land area between acres, hectares, square feet, square metres and user-defined local bigha units.
Convert common land-area units
Enter an area, choose its unit, and convert it to commonly used metric, imperial and local units.
How the calculation works
The tool first converts the entered area to square metres, then converts that base value into each destination unit. One acre equals 4,046.8564224 m², one hectare equals 10,000 m², and one square foot equals 0.09290304 m². Bigha is intentionally user-defined because its size is not uniform across India.
How to use the result
Use this converter when comparing land listings, farm records, survey notes or documents that use different area units. For local units, confirm the convention used by the relevant state, district or transaction before relying on the converted figure.
Assumptions and limitations
This is a mathematical unit conversion, not a cadastral or legal land measurement. Local units such as bigha can vary substantially, and title records or official surveys should control where precision has legal consequences.
Example
With 1 acre entered, the calculator converts the same area to roughly 0.404686 hectares and 43,560 square feet.
