Buy a House in Mathura, Uttar Pradesh

Mathura sits on the Delhi-Agra corridor and is part of the Braj region associated with Krishna. Demand comes from devotees, from families upgrading within the city and from investors who see the pilgrim traffic as a driver for rentals and small commercial units. Vrindavan, the neighbouring temple town, is a closer comparison, and Agra is a larger city to the south. Markets such as Alwar, Faridabad, Greater Noida and Gurgaon belong to the wider Delhi region and are different, higher-priced markets, not close neighbours.

Non-resident Indians (NRIs) and Overseas Citizens of India (OCIs) may buy residential and commercial property but not agricultural land, plantations or farmhouses. Foreign nationals of non-Indian origin who live abroad cannot generally buy and may only lease for up to five years or inherit, unless they obtain RBI permission. Check land use carefully in Uttar Pradesh, where agricultural plots are often advertised as residential.

Payments should come from a foreign bank account or NRE/NRO account, and stamp duty is set by the state, so confirm current rates locally. Read the India country page and the India buying guide. Budget buyers can start with property under €100k in India.
