Convert Bigha to Hectare
1
Bigha is a traditional unit of area used in South Asia, especially in India. Its size varies by region. Hectare is a metric unit of area equal to 10,000 square meters or 2.471 acres.

The size of a bigha can differ between states or regions in India. For example, in Uttar Pradesh, 1 bigha is approximately 0.4 hectares, while in Assam, it is about 0.33 hectares.

To convert bighas to hectares, you need the specific conversion factor for the region. For instance, if 1 bigha = 0.4 hectares, then to convert bighas to hectares, you multiply the number of bighas by 0.4.

If you have 10 bighas and the conversion factor is 0.4 hectares per bigha, you would calculate 10 × 0.4 = 4 hectares.
5
For consistency, it’s often useful to convert bigha to square meters first, then convert square meters to hectares. For example, if 1 bigha = 1,200 square meters, then 1,200 / 10,000 = 0.12 hectares.

Online tools and calculators can simplify the conversion process. Input the number of bighas and select the appropriate conversion factor for your region.

Always check with local authorities or land records to ensure you’re using the correct conversion factor for your specific area, as regional differences can affect accuracy.
