The ground to square feet formula
The conversion is fixed:
Square Feet = Ground × 2,400
One ground is defined as 2,400 square feet — historically the area needed to build a modest house with a yard. So a "1.5 ground plot" is 3,600 sq ft and a "2 ground plot" is 4,800 sq ft. In Chennai, plot prices are often quoted as "₹ per ground", which is why converting ground to square feet is essential when comparing rates.
