Ground to Square Feet — South India Guide
Ground = 2,400 sq ft in BhumiMeter's fixed table — common in Tamil Nadu and parts of Karnataka for residential plots ("half ground", "one ground corner"). Not to be confused with cent (435.6 sq ft) or ankanam (72 sq ft).

Ground in Chennai and Coimbatore listings
Portals still show "2.5 ground" independent house sites. Multiply by 2,400 sq ft per ground for carpet comparisons with apartment RERA sq ft. Layout approvals may cite sq m — convert both directions with our sq ft ↔ sq m guide.
