Govt. focuses on land for augmenting resources

Hyderabad

The State Government appears to have decided to focus on lands for augmenting resources and meeting its financial commitments.

The Government has directed officials to make information such as land details, layout status, plots ready for auction and various other initiatives available on a single digital platform. The dashboard would facilitate better coordination among departments, enable faster decision-making and enhance transparency in the auction process.

Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka favoured development of a dedicated digital dashboard for effective monitoring of government lands, layout development and auction-related activities. He gave the directions during the Cabinet sub-committee meeting on resource mobilisation on Friday.

Officials of various revenue earning departments were directed to work in close coordination and formulate a comprehensive action plan to strengthen the State’s financial resources for achieving revenue targets within the stipulated timelines.

Clear targets, inter-departmental coordination and timely decisions were essential to enhance the State’s revenues. Senior officials should prepare weekly action plans and regularly review the progress to ensure the achievement of the prescribed targets.

The meeting reviewed the possibilities of mobilising revenue through utilisation and regularisation of lands in industrial layouts and old industrial estates. Officials briefed on the revenue already generated and the proposals at various stages of implementation.

Mr. Vikramarka wanted a focused action plan to be prepared to achieve the revenue targets through these initiatives. There was also a need to expedite unit-wise regularisation and approval processes in industrial areas such as Azamabad, Balanagar and Hafeezpet. Proposals relating to B-category and micro industrial units should be examined comprehensively.

Officials were asked to set weekly targets for processing applications within defined timelines and assign clear responsibilities to the concerned officials.

The meeting held detailed discussions on land pooling, availability of land for future requirements and mobilisation of land resources in the rapidly developing areas surrounding Hyderabad, particularly Medchal and Rangareddy districts.

He reviewed the possibilities of generating revenue through the development and auction of lands under the jurisdiction of HMDA and TGIIC. Officials were asked to identify suitable layouts for auction, prioritise locations with good connectivity to major roads and development potential, and initiate the auction process in a phased manner.

The departments concerned were given a week’s time to come up with a clear action plan outlining the details of lands, the status of layouts, plots ready for auction and the progress of preparatory activities.
