The Ministry of Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development is selling 48 state-owned plots in Malé under the Veshifahi Malé Programme, with applications open from 8 November to 8 December 2026.
Forty-eight small plots of state land in Malé go on sale on Sunday 8 November 2026, the Ministry of Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development said in a notice issued on 5 November.
The sale, announced in notice No. (IUL)491/491/2026/178, is part of the Veshifahi Malé Programme. Applications must reach the ministry by 14:00 on Tuesday 8 December 2026.
A flat rate for every plot
Every listed plot is priced at MVR 2,000 per square foot. On that basis, 100 sq ft would cost MVR 200,000.
Where the plots are
The plots vary from 21.6 sq ft to 275.21 sq ft. The ministry grouped them by area:
- Maafannu: 21 plots

Plot numbers, addresses and sizes are set out in full in the notice. Some addresses appear more than once, split into separate parts with different sizes, so applicants should confirm which part they are applying for.
