About Delhi's Land Pooling Policy
Notified by DDA on 11 October 2018, the Land Pooling Policy lets Delhi landowners voluntarily pool contiguous parcels within notified zones. In return, 60% of developed land is handed back to the consortium; 40% funds city-level infrastructure.
What is Land Pooling?
Land pooling, also known as land readjustment, is an urban development technique where landowners contribute their land for development. After development, a portion of the developed land is returned to the original owners, while the remaining is used for public infrastructure, amenities, and sold to cover development costs.
This approach ensures organized urban development while protecting landowners' interests and creating sustainable communities with proper infrastructure.
