Varanasi Sees 12% Price Rise in Commercial Plots Near Dashashwamedh Ghat

Varanasi’s commercial real estate market is witnessing a notable uptick, with prices for commercial plots rising by 12% in the vicinity of the iconic Dashashwamedh Ghat. The price range for these plots now stands between Rs 2,000 and Rs 3,000 per sq ft, driven primarily by strong demand for retail spaces.

The surge is fueled by increasing commercial activity and tourism in the area. Dashashwamedh Ghat, a key spiritual and cultural landmark, attracts millions of visitors annually, creating a robust market for retail businesses, hotels, restaurants, and other commercial ventures.

Investors and developers are keen to capitalize on this demand by acquiring plots to develop modern retail outlets, boutique shops, and hospitality projects that cater to both tourists and locals. The government’s efforts to enhance infrastructure and connectivity around the ghat have further boosted investor confidence.

Analysts expect this trend to continue, with commercial real estate near heritage and high-footfall zones becoming increasingly lucrative. The rise in plot prices reflects Varanasi’s growing appeal as a commercial hub that blends tradition with modern business opportunities.
