Site Clearing Costs
Site clearing includes removal of vegetation, debris, rocks, and existing structures to prepare the land for development. Costs depend on plot size, terrain, and vegetation density.
- For basic clearing, the cost ranges from ₹10 to ₹25 per square foot
- For 1 acre (approximately 43,560 sq ft), this totals around ₹4.5 lakh to ₹11 lakh
- Densely wooded or rocky sites may incur higher costs due to manual labor or equipment use
Grading and Leveling Costs
Grading involves reshaping the land to create a flat and buildable surface. This includes excavation, soil compaction, and filling if necessary.
- Average grading cost is ₹20 to ₹40 per square foot depending on soil condition and slope
- For 1 acre, costs can range from ₹8 lakh to ₹17 lakh
- Additional expenses may apply for landfilling, retaining walls, or slope correction
Total Estimated Range
Combining both clearing and grading, the estimated cost for preparing 1 acre of industrial land falls between ₹12 lakh and ₹28 lakh, depending on site conditions and location.
