PMRDA begins land acquisition for 150 new roads, reserved plots to enhance infrastructure
In a step to strengthen infrastructure and ease traffic congestion across the Pune Metropolitan Region (PMR), the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) has initiated the process from May 28 to acquire land for 150 proposed roads and around 85 hectares of reserved plots. Yogesh Mhase, PMRDA commissioner said, 'With the rapid expansion of urban areas and increasing demand for better transport networks, it is essential to secure land for future infrastructure proactively. This step will help us reduce project delays and support sustainable growth across the Pune metropolitan region.' The initiative covers several key talukas, including Maval, Haveli, Mulshi, and Shirur, and aims to facilitate planned urban growth across PMR's 6246.26 sq km jurisdiction. The authority has floated a tender to appoint a consultant who will handle the end-to-end land acquisition process, including both road corridors and various urban infrastructure reservations. According to the Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by PMRDA, the selected consultant will be responsible for completing all land acquisition formalities up to possession, using methods such as compulsory acquisition, direct purchase, and statutory processes under the Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. The scope of work for the consultant includes conducting revenue and cadastral surveys, preparing acquisition proposals, estimating compensation for affected assets such as structures, trees, and wells, and assisting PMRDA during joint measurement surveys. The consultant will also liaise with revenue officials and local authorities to ensure a smooth acquisition process. The total consultancy period is set for 30 months, with work expected to commence within 15 days of the final appointment. Interested firms must submit their bids online by June 6, 2025.

Survey to check impact of land acquisition for Noida airport phase 3 & 4
NOIDA : A door-to-door survey from Monday will study the impact on landholdings, livelihoods, homes, public utilities and community resources in 14 villages from where land will be acquired for the expansion of Noida International Airport in phases 3 and 4. Two runways and a global aerospace manufacturing hub are proposed on 2,053 hectares—of which 1,857 hectares are privately owned and will be acquired from 14 villages—in two of the four-phase development of the airport. A runway, a terminal building and an air traffic control tower are coming up on 1,334 hectares acquired in phase 1, while MRO and aviation hubs are proposed on the 1,365 hectares acquired in phase 2. A social impact assessment (SIA) undertaken by Gautam Buddha University and approved by the state govt in Jan had found around 8,400 families across 14 villages—Thora, Neemka Shahjahanpur, Khwajpur, Ramner, Kishorepur, Banwaribas, Parohi, Muqimpur Shivara, Jewar Bangar, Sabauta Mustafabad, Ahmedpur Chaurauli, Dayanatpur, Bankapur, and Rohi—in Jewar tehsil would be displaced in the last two phases. The latest survey, to be undertaken by 49 teams, comprising officials from district administration and Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority, will draw up census and statistical data of families affected by the land acquisition. DM Manish Verma said the survey will be carried out under Section 16 of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, and completed by June 15. SDM Jewar Abhay Singh told TOI that based on the survey, a draft rehabilitation and resettlement scheme will be drawn up. "This will outline entitlements for both landowners and landless families. It will also list the resettlement provisions in terms of infrastructure and amenities. A draft will then be published and a public hearing held to gather objections or suggestions," he added. The draft, along with a report on the objections, will be submitted to the district collector, and subsequently to the commissioner, for approval. "Once approved, a final scheme will be published and a formal declaration of the resettlement area announced. If not already done, a detailed land survey will be initiated to mark and measure the required land and prepare its layout. The award for land acquisition will be made within 12 months of the declaration. The collector will determine the market value of the land and calculate the compensation. A solatium, which is an additional 100% of the compensation, will be added as mandated. The final land acquisition will then proceed through an agreement between the landowners and the state," Singh said. In March, UP announced that landlosers will be entitled to Rs 4,300 per square metre in compensation, which is 40% higher than the Rs 3,100 per sqm offered in the second phase. In phase 1, UP offered Rs 2,100 per sqm in compensation. A notification issued by the civil aviation department recently stated that under the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, displaced families will be rehabilitated to areas equipped with basic amenities like roads, water, electricity, sewerage, parks, community halls, schools, hospitals, as well as religious places, like temples and mosques, as per their social and cultural background.

Mohali: GMADA to acquire 713 acres for Eco City 3
In a move towards planned urban expansion, the Greater Mohali Area Development Authority (GMADA) is set to acquire 713.375 acres of land from multiple villages for the development of Eco City 3 in New Chandigarh. The villages identified for land acquisition include Rasulpur, Salamatpur, Dhodemajra, Takkipur, Rajgarh, Majra, Kartarpur, Kansala, and Hoshiarpur. The land will be acquired under the provisions of the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. The area has already been declared a Resettlement Zone. 'This project is a key part of GMADA's strategy to transform New Chandigarh into a world-class city. It will not only offer modern living amenities but also boost the region's economic prospects,' an official said. Simultaneously, the Punjab government has initiated the process to acquire 309 acres in Mullanpur Garibdass village for low- and high-density residential development under the New Chandigarh Master Plan. The acquisition process began through a notification issued on November 15, 2022, under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act. A Social Impact Assessment by Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, emphasised the project's benefits, stating that 'its social advantages far outweigh the costs'. Expert groups also termed the proposed land as 'minimal and essential', highlighting its focus on balanced development and sustainability. Under the Resettlement Policy, affected families will receive a one-time annuity of Rs 5 lakh, a resettlement allowance of Rs 50,000, and complete waivers on stamp duty and registration charges. This policy was officially approved on February 29, 2025.
