The Novas Conquistas or "New Conquests" are a group of seven concelhos (municipalities) of Goa and Damaon, officially known as Portuguese India.

In writing postal addresses, the Novas Conquistas were abbreviated "N.C." In December 1764, Hyder Ali, the king of Mysore, sent his general Fazalullah Khan northward into Soonda via Bednur, where landowners who resisted his administration met severe retribution.

Fearing capture, the Raja of Soonda fled to Goa, surrendering his territories below the Western Ghats to the Portuguese in exchange for sanctuary and a fixed annual stipend.

Later in 1783 the Kingdom of Sawantwadi, in order to get Portuguese help against Kolhapur, ceded some parts of Pernem, Bicholim and Sattari to Portugal.

Unlike the Velhas Conquistas, these areas remained predominantly Hindu as the Portuguese lost their zeal of Christianization.
