Units explained
Hectare
A hectare is a metric unit of area equal to 10,000 square meters, or one square hectometer. It is the most widely used metric unit for land measurement worldwide.
Defined as 100 ares, equal to one square hectometer. The name was introduced in 1795 in France as part of the metric system.
Hectares are the standard unit for agricultural land measurement worldwide except in the US (which uses acres). 1 hectare equals 2.47105 acres. In India, hectares are used in modern agricultural census and land records alongside traditional regional units.
Adopted in France in 1795; standardized internationally through the SI system.
Marla
A marla is a unit of land area used in Punjab, Haryana, and Pakistani Punjab, equal to approximately 25.293 m² (1/20 of a kanal or 272.25 square feet).
Defined as 1/20 of a kanal during British colonial administration of Punjab. 160 marlas equal 1 acre.
Marlas are the standard small-area unit for residential plots in Punjab, Pakistan, and adjoining regions. Most Punjab property listings cite size in marlas alongside square feet.
Standardized in colonial Punjab.
