After the Supreme Court ruling approved the construction of Ram Temple on November 9, 2019, the land in Ayodhya is the main real estate.
Although the official Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust (founded in February 2020) has acquired nearly 70 acres of land so far, private buyers are eager to expect substantial gains as the development of the project is gaining momentum. Even the officialdom hopes to profit from it.
