Haryana Cabinet Approves Land Pooling Policy Fixing Landowners' Share at 50%
The Haryana Cabinet approved the Land Pooling Policy-2026, fixing landowners' share at 50% of the total saleable area, with the remaining 50% retained by the development agency. The policy replaces the 2022 version that linked shares to market value. It includes provisions for annual interim financial assistance of Rs 1 lakh per acre for four years, reduces project completion time from five to four years, and mandates infrastructure completion within this period, failing which land reverts to owners. Plot sizes and commercial site allotments are specified based on land contribution.
