After approving the land pooling policy in September, last year, DDA is set to launch an online portal for operationalisation and implementation of the policy on 5th of Feb.
Also, a nodal officer has been appointed by DDA for it to coordinate with all service providing agencies, such as, DJB, PWD delhi, Transco etc.
Per officials, ‘integrated sector-based planning approach’ will be followed and that a sector of 250 to 300 hectares of land will be eligible to be developed once a minimum of 70% contiguous land within a sector is assembled.
Keeping in line with the goal of ‘ease of doing business’, a single-window system is being created for the implementation of the policy in DDA. All processes of receiving applications, verifications, grant of approvals and licences, etc., will be completed in a time-bound manner,” the DDA had said earlier.
A two-stage grievance redressal mechanism has been set within DDA for transparent and people-friendly operationalization and implementation of the policy.
DDA Vice-Chairman Tarun Kapoor had told The Hindu earlier this month, “The online portal for the land pooling policy is almost ready and trial runs are on currently.”
Also, DDA has initiated formation of an expert panel. Per reports, the panel formation should have completed by now. It will be comprised of town planners, planning and engineering experts etc. This panel will be responsible for drafting a detailed road-map for the policy. Firstly, zonal plans will be created which will be marked with details on land ear-marked for residential development, community halls, park, and parking and on sewerage and water pipe connectivity. The policy will then be carried forward per these details.

After approval from LG, Anil Baijal, last month, the policy has been cleared by the Centre too.
Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister, Mr Hardeep Singh Puri, when asked about the current status of the Policy, by the reporters, stated that he has signed the policy. A senior official of the ministry also confirmed the same.
The land pooling will have to go through two more steps. The Ministry will have to issue a Gazette notification, which should happen anytime this month itself; following which it will go back to DDA for operationalisation.
In the meanwhile, we have begun the process for consolidation of resources for the formation of sector-wise consortiums, to get ready for participation by the time DDA opens up the window.
BJP MLA Vijender Gupta confirmed that DDA’s land pooling policy has finally been approved. It was cleared at the Authority’s board meeting chaired by the LG, Anil Baijal on Friday.
Land pooling Policy was simplified for speedy execution in October, last year. Delhi Development Authority (DDA) role was limited to that of a facilitator and planner as against the role initially envisaged for it as a part of the simplification of execution of land pooling policy. These changes were accepted later, in December, in a meeting chaired by LG on 21st. DDA was also asked to ensure single-window clearance mechanism for according necessary approvals for speedy implementation.
The policy will now go to the UD Ministry and is likely to be notified within two to three weeks.
Per news published in Dainik Jagaran and Navbharat times on 3rd of September 2018, member of DDA Board of Enquiry, Mr Vijender Gupta has told that LG will be heading a meeting of the board on 7th of September at 10.00 AM at his residence. The main agenda of the meeting will be the implementation/approval of Land pooling policy. During this meeting, all aspects of Land Pooling policy will be discussed in detail and members will present their suggestion and objections regarding the same. LG is expected to clear the modifications on the Land Pooling during this meeting. Once approved, the proposal will be sent to UD Ministry which should then notify it. Per a separate meeting of DDVM with VC DDA, notification can be expected by the last week of September.

राज्य ब्यूरो, नई दिल्ली : लैंड पूलिंग योजना को स्वीकृति देने के लिए दिल्ली विकास प्राधिकरण (डीडीए) की बोर्ड बैठक अगस्त के पहले सप्ताह में हो सकती है। डीडीए बोर्ड और बोर्ड ऑफ इन्क्वायरी के सदस्य विजेंद्र गुप्ता ने बताया कि लैंड पूलिंग का प्रस्ताव लगभग तैयार हो चुका है। इसके लिए बोर्ड ऑफ इन्क्वायरी की अंतिम बैठक होनी है, जिसमें इसे स्वीकृति दे दी जाएगी। 1डीडीए के वरिष्ठ अधिकारी ने बताया कि दिल्ली में करीब 24 हजार हेक्टेयर जमीन ऐसी है जो लैंड पूलिंग के दायरे में आती है। इसमें से ज्यादातर कृषि की भूमि है, जिसका स्वामित्व किसानों के पास है। डीडीए ने शर्त रखी है कि जिस भी जगह के भू स्वामी इस योजना में शामिल होना चाहते हैं, उनके पास वहां की जमीन का कम से कम 70 फीसद हिस्सा खाली होना चाहिए। तभी डीडीए वहां इसके लिए मंजूरी देगा। इसके लिए डीडीए को प्रति हेक्टेयर एक से दो करोड़ रुपये का विकास शुल्क भी देना अनिवार्य होगा। यही वजह है कि जन सुनवाई के दौरान अधिकतर किसानों ने डीडीए से ऐसी जमीन का अधिग्रहण करने का अनुरोध किया था। उन्होंने कहा कि लैंड पूलिंग के तहत जमीन में 40 एवं 60 का अनुपात रखा गया है। 60 फीसद जमीन पर उसके स्वामियों द्वारा निर्माण कार्य कराया जाएगा। इसमें भी 53 फीसद हिस्सा रिहायशी निर्माण, पांच फीसद व्यावसायिक और दो फीसद संस्थागत निर्माण के लिए तय किया गया है। 40 फीसद जमीन पर डीडीए सड़कों, पार्क, सामुदायिक भवन और सीवरेज लाइन वगैरह बुनियादी सुविधाएं विकसित करेगा। यहां बता दें कि लैंड पूलिंग योजना को लेकर 755 आपत्ति और सुझाव प्राप्त हुए थे। गत दो, तीन और चार जुलाई को जनसुनवाई आयोजित हुई थी, जिसमें किसान और बिल्डर्स के अलावा आम लोगों ने इस पॉलिसी के बारे में अपने विचार रखे थे।

Sources from Housing and Urban Development Ministry confirmed on Friday that the changes suggested in Land Pooling Policy in the October, this year, have now been incorporated and the amended Land Pooling Policy will get approved on December 8. With this, the process of rolling out the policy will begin.
“We are hoping that a public notice/notification inviting the landowners to come forward may be issued as early as January next year,” sources said.
As was informed earlier, the Lt Governor of Delhi, Mr Anil Baijal and Minister of Housing & Urban Affairs, Mr Hardeep Singh Puri, on 13th of October had a discussion on implementation of Land Pooling Policy. During this, some changes were suggested to the policy. The news was also covered by leading newspapers.
At the meeting, it was decided that the policy be simplified for speedy execution and that Delhi Development Authority (DDA) will just act as a facilitator and planner as against the role initially envisaged for it. Originally, the land was to be pooled by transferring the land to DDA, under the policy, which was to then undertake further sectoral planning and development of infrastructure in the zones marked under Land Pooling. This would have had financial implications as well, as only one side stamp duty was waived off on the proposed land transfer. At the October meeting, it was decided to do away with this requirement and ensure that land title continued to be with the original landowners.
Also, Mr Puri had recently tweeted that the work on Land Pooling Policy was in progress and final notification was being vetted.
DDA was also asked to immediately initiate spatial and services planning for the five zones covered under Land Pooling Policy, so that the policy could be given immediate effect after finalisation of regulations under the Policy.
DDA was also asked to ensure single-window clearance mechanism for according necessary approvals for speedy implementation at the meeting.
The National Institute of Urban Affairs was given the task to handhold DDA to make the necessary changes and create appropriate regulations for the implementation of the land pooling policy.

Transparency in the implementation of Land Pooling Policy had always been one of the underlying concerns around it. To ensure the same, and for speedy execution of its ambitious land pooling policy, the DDA will now take the entire process online.
This will also mean minimum human intervention in its execution. Per a senior DDA official, a high-powered committee will be constituted to handle any disputes. He said the move is one of the several initiatives to make the policy simpler and viable to meet the growing demand for housing in the capital. The regulations will be formulated in association with National Institute of Urban Affairs (NIUA).
The UD minister earlier announced that the DDA will now just act as a facilitator and not the executioner of the Land Pooling policy, as was envisaged earlier. To shorten the process and to pave the way for a speedy implementation of an already delayed policy, the earlier process wherein DDA was to transfer land from the Developer entities to itself and then return the developed land back to the developer entities, will cease to exist.
DDA has been asked to prepare rules within a month to simplify the procedure.
UD minister, Hardeep Singh Puri and LG Anil Baijal had approved the changes in a meeting at Nirman Bhawan on 12th of this month.
