In Tripura, land and plots are commonly measured in acres, as well as local units such as kanal (local measure), bigha. The fixed units are converted below. Local units have no single value, so this page does not give one; it says how to get the real area instead.
Their size differs by state and often by district or village.
A kanal (local measure) in one part of Tripura is not the same size as in another, so any single figure would be wrong somewhere. Treat it as a label, not a measurement:
Take the area in square feet or square metres from the land record, or ask the local revenue office for the value used in that village.
Compare plots per square foot, not per kanal (local measure).
