As was updated earlier, despite best of our efforts, we were not able to get any written consent from a particular section of our sector. This stopped us from achieving ‘70% consent to the consortium’ criteria. After discussing it with DDA officials at Land Pooling – Pitampura office and planning division at Vikar Minar, we have submitted a written proposal on 19th of November, 2025, to further divide sector 7a into two parts, as, Sector 7a and Sector 7a Extn. We have written consent from around 70% landowners in the newly proposed sector 7a and have a good understanding with the most of the remaining landowners. Please refer the attached proposal, as presented to DDA, for more details.
Also, as informed earlier, the DDA is prioritizing land pooling implementation for Sector 8B of the P-2 Zone, to be presented as an example. They were the first to achieve 70% landowners’ consent for their consortium. We are of the opinion that once the policy is implemented in even a single sector, it will be considered successful and will encourage the reluctant landowners to participate.
As the Delhi Land Pooling Policy is unique in nature and is moving through stages of practical execution, several technical and procedural challenges emerged during implementation. Sector 8B, being the first sector to advance in the process, is where the DDA got to iron out these complexities.
For example, one such challenge relates to the 40% land that landowners must transfer to DDA. The land could first be transferred by landowners to the consortium — and then from consortium to DDA — or it could be directly transferred by landowners to DDA (will be a cleaner approach but could be more tedious). This includes determining what legal documentation will be required, who will bear the cost of such transfers, and how the land should be conveyed since different SPAs will utilise different portions for roads (approx. 12%), schools, and other public/semi-public facilities. Most such issues have been catered at the DDA’s end and they are progressing towards taking the final steps towards policy implementation in Sector 8b.
Once DDA successfully implements the policy in this Sector 8b, the process will become significantly easier to replicate across subsequent sectors, including our Sector 7A.
Also, on 6 November 2025, the LG approved a change of land use for 40.23 hectares of Sector 8b under the land pooling policy paving way for the policy implementation in the sector.
DDA officials have informed us that they are very close to making Sector 8B operational. Once this is done, it will mark the successful implementation of the policy and will make it easier for sectors like ours to obtain consent from the non-cooperating landowners in our sector.
How this benefits us:
Suggestions are always welcome.
Please find below the latest updates as of today:
As you may be aware, the BJP has replaced AAP in Delhi. This political change has raised hopes among stakeholders involved in the Delhi Land Pooling initiative, as it is expected to resolve the earlier friction between the Delhi Government and the Centre. Since then, we have been engaging with ministers and DDA officials to help expedite the process.
We have met multiple times with Shri Yogender Chandolia (Member of Parliament, North-West Delhi), whose constituency includes the P2 zone. We briefed him on the current situation and what we expect from the Centre to move forward. During our initial meeting, he assured us that he would coordinate with the DDA and other relevant authorities. In a subsequent meeting, he informed us that officials are working on the matter and that visible progress should be expected in the next couple of months. Similar updates have been shared by various sources, indicating that work is underway on Delhi’s Master Plan and Land Pooling Policy, incorporating the suggestions received so far. These developments are likely to be tabled at the appropriate forums soon, and we have been told to anticipate tangible outcomes within 2–3 months.
Additionally, we were invited by the DDA to discuss the progress of Sector 7A on several occasions. In a meeting held a couple of weeks ago, we presented all necessary paperwork and maps highlighting the groundwork completed by the consortium to date. We emphasized that more landowners are likely to join the consortium once they see a positive and concrete response from the Centre. We also submitted proposals to reduce the sector size, which would help us surpass the 70% participation threshold. The officials appeared convinced and advised us to take the matter up with the Planning Department.
We have also been attempting to meet Smt. Kamaljeet Sehrawat (Member of Parliament, West Delhi). While her office has assured us of a meeting, the date and time are yet to be confirmed. We plan to approach the DDA Planning Department once this meeting has taken place. Efforts are also being made to establish contact with Shri Manohar Lal Khattar, Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA).
We will appreciate any support from our members in any of the areas mentioned above.
As always, suggestions from members are welcome.
As you would know, BJP has retained all 7 Lok Sabha seats of Delhi in the 2024 elections. We will be trying to work with the North-West Delhi MP, Sh. Yogender Chandolia and the West Delhi MP, Smt. Kamaljeet Sehrawat.
Also, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs has gone to Sh Manohar Lal Khattar. We will be trying to raise the issue of pending bills/notifications with him too.
Further, we have not been able to obtain written consent from the remaining landowners, as it seems they prefer to wait for notifications from the government before committing to the consortium in writing.
On the matter of whitepaper, we were approached by the members that they were not able to raise the intended amount and wanted the Society to pitch in. Since the Society had agreed to the whitepaper work on member’s demand, during the last AGM, we agreed to reimburse them for the partial cost.
Dear All,
We are glad to update that after trying all alternate available routes we were finally able to register the Consortium (a company limited by Guarantee and not having share capital) by the name of ‘Genesis Smart City Development Cosmopolitan’, for Sector 7A of P-II Zone. Landowners of the Sector and the DDA have been updated regarding the same.
We had prepared a legal agreement (contract agreement, named ‘Landowners Agreement’) for all the landowners of the sector to sign to get them legally associated with the Consortium. The same was also sent to DDA (Pitampura and Vikas Sadan, INA offices) for review. After discussing the contents of it with farmers and some other landowners and getting inputs from possible sources (lawyers, company secretaries, etc.), we finalized its language and have started getting individual copies signed. Society President, Mr. Dipender Jain, has been appointed as the Chairman of the Consortium and is authorized to sign the agreement from the Consortium’s side. The Landowners are also being registered on the Consortium’s website (www.gscdc.in), which has now been made operational.
Some notification(s), and amendments in regards to land pooling were expected by around September this month, which comprised of Notification of MPD-2041, an amendment to the DDA Act of 1957 (to include changes related to Land Pooling, redevelopment, etc., to the DDA’s by-laws) and some specific changes to the Land Pooling Policy, to make it more lucrative for the DE(s), such as, increase in FAR, changes regarding EDC, etc. One other important feature being expected from the Parliament in regard to the Delhi Land Pooling Policy is making participation compulsory for remaining landowners once 70% participation is achieved in a Sector, so as to achieve contiguity, which is a must for efficient planning of the Sector.
We have already received consent for the consortium from over 50% of landowners. By getting the ‘Landowners Agreement’ signed we are fulfilling the prerequisite for the consortium to get into an agreement with the DDA, for the development of the Sector. It will take some convincing on our/Consortium’s part to get individual landowners to sign the agreement. By the time govt may bring in the above-mentioned changes, including the law to make it compulsory for the remaining landowners, we are hopeful of getting it signed by the majority of the landowners. Please revert with any suggestions that you may have in this regard.
Regards.
Dear All,
Below are the latest updates on Consortium / Land Pooling work for our Sector 7A (P-II Zone):
As on Consortium registration front, because of several technical issues with the new MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs) V3 Portal, the consortium / company registration work is getting hampered. Our Company Secretary and lawyers are working with their customer care representatives to get them resolved as early as possible.
Also, since the three months window for consortium work is coming to an end, we have filed for an extension for the same.
Many senior DDA officials including Vice-Chairman, Principal Commissioner, Commissioner – Planning, visited P-II zone (mostly around our sector) few weeks back. They visited the areas marked for construction of major roads, such as, UER-II & I, areas occupied by unauthorized colonies and farm-houses and other road-blocks. Thereafter, they had a meeting with the PM in regards to the progress been made on the Delhi Land Pooling.
Several new features are being expected to be introduced to the land pooling policy by the central government in the next 2-3 months to cater to issues of the non-participating farmers / landowners and to bring them into the policy so as to achieve contiguity.
Besides, DDA has put sector-wise Boards at multiple locations in P-II Zone. We would like to inform that in consultation with us, they have put up boards for Sector 7A too.
DDA has also initiated measurement of arterial roads and the new ring-roads (Urban Extension) and have started to clear out unauthorized constructions in the P-II Zone.
Please revert in case of any query / suggestions.
Dear All,
We met with Mr Amrish Kumar, Director – Land Pooling on the 20th of this month. We were informed that they have received the nod from the ministry for the issuance of the Consortium notices. It took them a while because of the ongoing budget session. Also, the ministry has provided them with sufficient powers to make certain amendments and to take policy-related decisions, per the need.
With the LG being the Chairman of the DDA, the file has been sent to him for him to acknowledge. We were informed that the DDA VC is on leave and hence it may take some more days for them to release the notices than anticipated, though they are hoping for that to happen by the end of this month. He even called someone to confirm if LG has received/seen the file sent by DDA, though the same couldn’t be confirmed.
As a welcome step, they have already drafted the ‘Press Release’ for issuing the notices for consortium formation and we were provided with a copy of the same to read.
Also, he confirmed that after the release of the first 3 notices, the second list will comprise of sectors 7, 8 and 1 of the P2 zone.
They will also be putting DDA boards in the sectors (around 20 per sector) with details so as to create awareness among the general public. The budget has already been cleared for the same.
Regards.
Dear All,
As was informed earlier, we are waiting for the DDA to issue Consortium Notices. DDA had already finalized files for 3 sectors by Jan, this year, those have attained close to 90% participation. They are planning to release notice of the remaining sectors which have achieved over 70% participation soon after.
The delay is happening because of concerns regarding land contiguity. Planning of the sector will be difficult without taking care of the un-pooled land scattered throughout within the sector. There are few options to take care of this issue that DDA is working upon.
In our meeting with Mr Manoj Joshi, Secretary – MoHUA, on 5th Feb, this year, we advised them to let the consortium work initiate and postpone the contiguity issue till next round, since the process can take a couple of months for the first sector to develop a SOP and thereafter it will be more of a copy-paste for the rest. As per our conversation with the DDA officials, they seem to have accepted the suggestion. Same was also reported by several media houses on 9th March. Continuous meetings are being held with the stakeholders to discuss on some technicalities and the consortium notice is expected to be released soon.
Please refer your email for more details.
Society President, Mr Dippender Jain along with 5 other participants (representatives from NARDECO, CREDAI, FICCI etc) were invited for a meeting with Mr Manoj Joshi (Secretary, MoHUA) along with VC, DDA and other senior officials from MoHUA and DDA, on Feb 05 (Saturday). The objective was to develop an understanding of the reasons behind the slow progress on Delhi’s land pooling.
Some of the key points were:
All the points raised by the participants were duly noted. They will further discuss on the suggestions made, among themselves. We are hoping for an outcome within a week or two.
Also, DDA has released its budget for the year, in which a lot of focus and amount has been put towards the development of infrastructure for Land Pooling zones. The end date for the completion of UER-II has been set for next year. This UER-II forms the North side boundary of our Sector and would provide seamless connectivity between all the land pooling zones while connecting Delhi with neighboring states, from Mahipalpur on Delhi-Gurgaon expressway to Chandigarh.
