About this calculator
Units used in Indian property and daily life
Property in India is quoted in square feet in most cities, square yards in parts of the north where it is called gaj, and in acres or hectares for land. One square yard is nine square feet, and one acre is 43,560 square feet. Converting between them is the first step in comparing two quotes honestly.
The converter also covers tola, still used for gold at 11.6638 grams, along with quintals and tonnes for agricultural weights and the usual metric and imperial units for length, volume, speed and temperature.
How to read the result
Every conversion shows the value in all the units of that type at once, so you do not have to convert twice to compare. Length also breaks the answer down into feet and inches and into metres and centimetres, which is what most people actually want when measuring a room or a person's height.
Common questions
How many square feet are in one gaj?
One gaj, or square yard, is nine square feet. A 100 gaj plot is 900 square feet.
How many grams is one tola of gold?
One tola is 11.6638 grams, which is why the traditional ten-tola bar weighs about 116.64 grams.
How do I convert feet to centimetres?
Multiply by 30.48. So 5 feet 9 inches is 175.26 centimetres. The converter shows the feet-and-inches breakdown alongside the metric figure.
