Latest Updates

Major Development Funds Approved for LDA City's Iqbal Sector, Accelerating Infrastructure

The Punjab government and Lahore Development Authority have approved a significant development package worth approximately 34 billion rupees for the Iqbal Sector of LDA City Lahore, which includes the Allama Iqbal Town flats. This funding is earmarked to fast-track roads, sewerage, water supply, and other essential utilities with the aim of converting files into livable plots. Authorities have committed to completing key infrastructure works on an urgent basis, marking a crucial step to unlock this sector after previous delays and boost investor confidence.

Critical Deadlines Announced: Development Charge Payment and Computerized Balloting

LDA has set a final deadline of June 10, 2025, for file-holders of the first and second ballots to pay their outstanding development charges along with a surcharge. Failure to meet this deadline may result in increased rates applicable for later ballots or cancellation of allotment. Furthermore, the authority has scheduled the computerized lucky draw for the latest residential and commercial plots on February 24, 2026.

Possession Charges Officially Revealed for Plot Owners

LDA City Lahore has publicly released the detailed breakdown of possession charges for plot holders, a vital step for those looking to start construction. The fee structure varies by plot size and category (General, Special Features like Corner or Park Facing). For example, General category charges start from PKR 5,600 for a 5 Marla plot, PKR 11,200 for 10 Marla, PKR 22,400 for 1 Kanal, and PKR 44,800 for 2 Kanal plots.

Progress Towards Possession and Ongoing Development in Key Blocks

Development and possession activities are actively progressing. Several blocks within the Jinnah Sector (like B, C, D, E, F) are either possession-ready or have seen significant construction activity. Authorities are accelerating work to enable possession of units by mid-2025 for some blocks. The focus is on completing infrastructure such as roads and electricity to transition files into on-ground, buildable plots.
