Govt. focuses on land for augmenting resources

The Government of Telangana is concentrating on utilizing land to boost resources and fulfill its financial obligations. Aiming to enhance coordination across departments, a digital platform will be established for sharing data on land details, layout status, plots, and other auction-related initiatives. Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka has emphasized the importance of a dedicated digital dashboard for efficient monitoring of government lands, layout development, and auction activities.

During a Cabinet sub-committee meeting on resource mobilization, officials were instructed to collaborate closely and create a comprehensive action plan to bolster the State's financial resources, achieve revenue targets, and enhance overall revenues. Weekly action plans and progress reviews are required to ensure targets are met.

The meeting also explored the potential to generate revenue through land utilization, regularization, and auction, especially in industrial layouts and old industrial estates in areas like Azamabad, Balanagar, and Hafeezpet. The focus is on expediting approval processes, setting weekly targets for processing applications, and assigning clear responsibilities to relevant officials.

Discussions revolved around land pooling, land availability for future needs, and mobilizing land resources in rapidly developing regions surrounding Hyderabad, particularly in Medchal and Rangareddy districts. Officials were tasked with identifying suitable layouts for auction, prioritizing locations with good connectivity and development potential, and initiating phased auctions.

Departments were given a week to submit a clear action plan detailing land information, layout statuses, plots ready for auction, and progress on preparatory activities.
