Tamil Nadu Cent Ground Land Measurement Complete Guide

Tamil Nadu's land measurement system is built around Cent and Ground — units unfamiliar to buyers from North India but deeply embedded in Tamil Nadu's property market. 1 Cent = 435.6 sq ft (1/100 of an acre). 1 Ground = 2,400 sq ft (approximately 5.5 Cent). These are the units used in Chennai property listings, MTC bus route land, and agriculture across Tamil Nadu.

For agricultural land in Tamil Nadu: the standard comparison is Acre (100 Cent) and Hectare. For urban plots in Chennai: Cent for smaller plots, Ground for larger residential plots in areas like Anna Nagar, T. Nagar, and Adyar.
