Mohan Yadav Family Acquires 168 Acres in Ujjain Amid Government Road Projects and Land-Use Changes Indian Express has reported that the family of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, along with their real estate companies, purchased at least 137 plots totaling 168 acres in Ujjain for Rs 45 crore since Yadav assumed office in December 2023. The investigation into land records revealed that the acquisitions occurred amid a surge in infrastructure development, including new road links, highway upgrades, and revisions to the Ujjain Master Plan, which have transformed agricultural zones into areas suitable for residential and commercial use. The report highlighted that 111 of the 168 acres acquired by the family are located near road projects initiated by Yadav’s government. The buyers listed in the investigation include Yadav’s wife, Seema; his son’s wife, Shalini Yadav; his brothers, Nandlal and Narayan Yadav; Narayan’s wife, Rekha; their son, Abhay Yadav; and first cousins, Govind and Nilesh Yadav. These individuals either directly or through four family-run real estate companies secured the land. The investigation noted that the family already held significant land holdings prior to Yadav becoming chief minister, but the pace of acquisitions accelerated after he took office. In 2025, during a period of local resistance to proposals for permanent Kumbh infrastructure in Ujjain, the family and their companies purchased at least 62 plots spanning 92 acres. This timing coincided with the state government’s push to reclassify land use under the Ujjain Master Plan 2035, which shifted areas from agricultural to residential or commercial purposes. Specific examples of the family’s land acquisitions include 18 acres in Pandyakhedi, an area recently designated for commercial development.#mohan_yadav #seema_yadav #shalini_yadav #nandlal_yadav #narayan_yadav
Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav’s Family Acquired 168 Acres in Ujjain Amid Infrastructure Projects A detailed investigation by The Indian Express has revealed that the family of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav acquired at least 168 acres of land in Ujjain through 137 plots between December 2023 and December 2025, with most of the transactions occurring in areas benefiting from road projects and land-use changes announced by the state government. The purchases, totaling ₹45 crore, were made by Yadav’s wife, son, siblings, and first cousins, as well as through four family-run real estate companies. The land acquisitions are concentrated in zones where the government has initiated significant infrastructure upgrades, including new highways, road expansions, and changes in land use from agricultural to residential or commercial. The Ujjain Master Plan 2035, released in May 2023, outlined these changes, and Yadav, who has a long history of involvement in the city’s development, has been linked to several projects in the region. His family’s purchases began shortly after he took office in December 2023, with records showing that at least 111 acres of the 168 acres acquired were located near highway and road projects announced by his government. Key areas of acquisition include Gangedi, Unhel, Jaiwantpur, and Chandesara, where the family purchased land close to upgraded highways and road expansions. For example, in Gangedi, the family acquired 51 acres in 38 plots since April 2024, while in Unhel, they secured 29 acres in 16 plots in May 2025. These areas are part of broader infrastructure initiatives aimed at improving connectivity to cities like Indore, Bhopal, and Nagda. Local realtors noted that these projects are expected to significantly increase land values, making early investments lucrative.#mohan_yadav #madhya_pradesh_cm #ujjain #seema_yadav #ujjain_master_plan_2035
