What is a Hectare?
A hectare (Ha) is an international metric unit of area equal to 10,000 square metres or a square measuring 100 metres on each side. It is used globally for measuring large plots of land, especially in agriculture and real estate.
Hectare to Bigha Conversion
In India, both hectares and bigha are used for measuring land. Hectare is an international unit while bigha is a traditional Indian unit. 1 Hectare = 4.94 Bigha (in UP, Bihar and MP). The bigha size varies by state — select your state in the calculator for an accurate result.
Conversion Formula
- Bigha = Hectare × State Factor (UP: 4.94, Rajasthan: 3.95, Assam: 14.83)
- Acre = Hectare × 2.4710538
- Square Feet = Hectare × 1,07,639
- Square Meter = Hectare × 10,000
Example Calculation
If you have 5 hectares of land:
- 5 Hectare = 5 × 4.94 = 24.7 Bigha (UP/Bihar)
- 5 Hectare = 5 × 2.47 = 12.355 Acres
- 5 Hectare = 5 × 10,000 = 50,000 Sq. Meter
Hectare to Acre to Square Feet
Many people need the same area in acres and in square feet. Multiply the hectares by 2.4710538 for acres, and by 107,639.1 for square feet. The table shows common values.
| Hectare | Acre | Sq.Ft | Sq.Mt |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5 Ha | 1.2355 | 53,819.55 | 5,000 |
| 1 Ha | 2.4711 | 107,639.10 | 10,000 |
| 2 Ha | 4.9421 | 215,278.21 | 20,000 |
| 5 Ha | 12.3553 | 538,195.52 | 50,000 |
| 10 Ha | 24.7105 | 1,076,391.04 | 100,000 |
These units are fixed, so the figures are the same in every state. To go from acres to square feet, multiply by 43,560.
How Big Is a Hectare?
A hectare is a square with 100-metre sides. It is about 2.47 acres, or roughly 1.4 standard football pitches (105 m by 68 m). A plot of 5 hectares is 50,000 square metres, or about 12.4 acres, which is easier to picture as a square of roughly 224 metres on each side.
Reading Hectare Values on a Land Record
Land records often show the area as a decimal number of hectares, for example 0.6000. Multiply by 10,000 to get square metres, and by 2.4710538 to get acres.
| Hectare | Sq.Mt | Acre |
|---|---|---|
| 0.0600 Ha | 600 | 0.1483 |
| 0.1000 Ha | 1,000 | 0.2471 |
| 0.3600 Ha | 3,600 | 0.8896 |
| 0.6000 Ha | 6,000 | 1.4826 |
If the record uses a local unit such as bigha, check which state it belongs to before converting, because the size of a bigha changes from state to state.
Converting a Rate per Hectare to a Rate per Acre
Prices, yields and subsidies are often quoted per hectare. To get the figure per acre, divide by 2.4710538. For example, 50,000 per hectare is about 20,234 per acre. To get the figure per hectare from a per-acre rate, multiply by 2.4710538.
