The Knowledge City and the rise of South Jaipur’s new growth corridor
Jaipur is known for its heritage, planned city structure and long-standing cultural identity. Over the last two decades, it has also become one of India’s most active growth centres supported by modern infrastructure, rising institutions and planned expansion. Within this evolving landscape, The Knowledge City, Jaipur, has emerged as a significant planned district in the rapidly developing southern belt.
Located in South Jaipur, the region surrounding The Knowledge City has become a high-demand zone due to its connectivity, upcoming infrastructure and institutional growth. As the city continues to urbanise, this area is gradually becoming a core driver of long-term development.
The Knowledge City Jaipur: A Planned Ecosystem for the Future
The Knowledge City benefits from being positioned at the intersection of this expanding connectivity. Its long-term value is reinforced by:
The Knowledge City spans around 473 hectares and is designed as a comprehensive district that integrates education, research, residential communities, commercial spaces and green zones. The area features planned sector roads, defined land use zones and a clear development structure.
Within this district, The Knowledge Park is being developed by CHART. The project is planned as a plotted township that aligns with the broader intent of creating a structured, future-ready urban ecosystem inside The Knowledge City.
How Jaipur Has Evolved Into a Modern Growth Hub?
Jaipur’s evolution has been shaped by both historical planning and recent infrastructure growth. The city’s design principles, originally established in 1727, created a foundation for organised expansion. In recent years, new highways, metro extensions, industrial clusters and public facilities have accelerated development.
The city’s urban footprint has expanded from nearly 800 square kilometres in 2000 to close to 1,200 square kilometres in 2024. The Jaipur Master Plan 2047 anticipates further expansion toward 6,000 square kilometres as the city grows along new corridors. A significant portion of this growth is expected in the southern belt where land availability and infrastructure improvements are well aligned.
Why South Jaipur Has Become the City’s Strongest Growth Corridor?
South Jaipur has emerged as the city’s most active real estate and institutional zone. Reasons include:
- Connectivity to Mahindra SEZ and Sitapura
- Extensive frontage along Tonk Road and Ajmer Road
- Planned metro extensions
- Access to Ring Road
- Growth in educational institutions
- Presence of industrial employment zones
Property values reflect this momentum. Land in South Jaipur has appreciated between 18 and 22 percent annually from 2023 to 2025. Citywide residential prices have increased by around 65 percent in two years, one of the highest growth rates among Tier 2 markets.
Positioned within this region, The Knowledge City plays a central role in shaping the southern expansion of Jaipur.
Conclusion
The Knowledge City Jaipur represents a major milestone in the city’s shift toward structured and future-focused planning. The district sits inside the high-growth environment of South Jaipur and reflects the direction in which the city is expanding. With its integrated design and the presence of planned developments such as The Knowledge Park by CHART, the region has become an important part of Jaipur’s long-term growth story. As South Jaipur continues to strengthen its position as a leading corridor, The Knowledge City is expected to remain a significant contributor to this transformation.
