National Workshop on

Land Pooling for Real Estate Development

Wednesday, 18 December 2013 India Habitat Centre, New Delhi

Introduction High population growth rate has been India’s problem stymieing the economic, social as well as industrial development. Our metropolitan cities, as also 2nd and 3rd tier cities are vying for modernisation of infrastructure for their citizens and drawing migration of people owing mainly to the economic growth, employment opportunities and quality of life that they offer. Population gravitation to these cities puts heavy demands on infrastructure, particularly housing, in turn bringing out the need for assembling and pooling of land under a well defined policy at the state level. Some initiatives have already been taken in many growing cities, for instance, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has come out with the Master Plan Delhi 2021 (MPD 2021), covering the issue of land assembling and pooling and had been under active discussion for some time. Land Pooling serves as a means to augment availability of land for creation of the necessary real estate, especially the housing for general public, including EWS/LIG. There are varied experiences in this regard in many states in India like Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Punjab, Tamil Nadu and so on and also overseas. In this backdrop, with a view to bringing out the various issues associated with land pooling in different environments, National Real Estate Development Council (NAREDCO) is organising the National Workshop on Land Pooling for Real Estate Development in New Delhi. Ministry of Urban Development (Delhi Division), Government of India has already issued the Land Policy based on the land pooling concept, by adding a new chapter to the MPD 2021. The Workshop will provide a forum for a thread bare discussion of various issues and significant opportunities for one-to-one interactions with the authors of policy and the executives heading the activity in some of the states. Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is supporting and participating in the Workshop. Objective Many states/cities in the country, as mentioned above, have already framed well laid out land use and development policies and carried out land pooling, while others like Delhi has recently initiated the process to take it up as a part of the master plan. Different states would experience different types of issues while going for land pooling, depending on their respective social, political and economic environments. The Workshop aims to discuss the various issues associated with the concept of land pooling and also disseminate information on the benefits accrued to the States in terms of growth of real estate sector and general development of the society thereby. The participants will benefit from the deliberations and utilise the knowledge gained for adapting the same in their specific situations.
