1 Acre = 1.6 Bigha in Uttar Pradesh
The Bigha is a traditional land unit with no standardised national value. Each state has its own Bigha size, making state-specific ratios essential for accurate conversion.
| State | 1 Acre = X Bigha | 1 Bigha (sqft) |
|---|---|---|
| Uttar Pradesh | 1.6 Bigha | 27,000 sqft |
| Bihar | 1.6 Bigha | 27,220 sqft |
| Madhya Pradesh | 1.333 Bigha | 32,670 sqft |
| Rajasthan | 1.6 Bigha | 27,225 sqft |
| Uttarakhand | 1.6 Bigha | 27,000 sqft |
| West Bengal | 1.333 Bigha | 32,670 sqft |
| Himachal Pradesh | 5 Bigha | 8,712 sqft |
| Assam | 3 Bigha | 14,520 sqft |
| Gujarat | 2.5 Bigha | 17,424 sqft |
| Haryana | 4 Bigha | 10,890 sqft |
| Punjab | 4 Bigha | 10,890 sqft |
In Uttar Pradesh (UP), 1 Acre equals 1.6 Bigha. So 5 acres = 8 Bigha in UP. Note that the Bigha size varies significantly across Indian states.
In Rajasthan, 1 Acre = 1.6 Bigha (same as UP). However, the size of 1 Bigha in Rajasthan is approximately 27,225 square feet or 2529.28 square meters.
In Himachal Pradesh, 1 Bigha = 8,712 square feet (which is much smaller than in other states). This is why 1 Acre = 5 Bigha in Himachal Pradesh.
1 Square Foot = 0.092903 Square Meters. So to convert, multiply the square feet value by 0.092903. For example, 1,000 sqft = 1,000 × 0.092903 = 92.90 sqm.
1 Hectare = 2.47105 Acres. Conversely, 1 Acre = 0.404686 Hectares. The hectare is the standard international unit for land area measurement.
Bigha is a traditional land measurement unit in South Asia that was never standardised across regions. Each state developed its own definition based on historical land survey practices, leading to different values across UP, Bihar, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Assam and other states.
