The new policy may be in the Thelangana state, which aims to make portable rights (TDR) rights more attractive to real estate owners who are ready to lose their land for various infrastructure projects such as expansion of roads and lake development.
Main Minister A. Revanth Reddy is reportedly trying to revise TDR policy to be irresistible for property owners. Official sources said he mentioned this as the only solution, especially for the development of lakes. Within this policy, the government could also make builders to obtain TDRs in addition to increasing TDR values to obtain permission over a certain number of floors.
Higher demand for TDR would be reflected in reduced financial burden for real estate acquisition. Given the sharp increase in real estate prices, the government is not able to obtain real estate for infrastructure projects. Compensation prescribed by the right to fair compensation and transparency in the acquisition of the law on acquisition, rehabilitation and soil relocation, 2013, does not know the owners of urban real estate because it is a mere fraction of the actual market value of real estate.
TDRs are issued instead of compensation and can be sold to builders, developers, and even individuals who want to increase other floors over the permissible number within the range of greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation and Hyderabolitan Development Authority.
According to the politics announced by the then state government in 2017, 400% of the TDR is applicable to road expansion projects, 200% for places affected by the protection and development of lakes, drains and other water bodies and 100% for heritage. After the introduction of politics for a long time, the demand for TDR was very low.
Later, the TDR market is looking for due to the growing number of altitudes. In addition, the government maintained the problem of TDR to win a decent price. Especially influenced by this policy are persons who own land in full tank and the balancing zone of the lakes. When the agency for response to disasters in Hyderabad and to the protection of asset (Hydraa) to the picture, they are unable to destroy their lake features, and therefore desperately desire to monetize them through TDR.
“Almost all lakes have private properties. If we want to give everyone TDR, the market will be influenced and we will be in terms of demand back to the square,” the official shared on condition of anonymity.
Problems with ownership are also dealing with government intentions to develop and beautify the lakes, the officials say. While the former BRS government handed over a number of lakes to various builders and business entities for beautification within the social responsibility of enterprises, very few such projects could actually be based on the protests of landowners/conspiracy.
Hydraa chief Avranganath admits that private land inside lakes cause obstacles to the initiatives for the development of lakes. Sunnnam Cheruvu and Thammidi Kunta are a few examples where real estate owners approached the High Court for their rights.
“Private land owners create problems. For example, in Nallagandl Pedda Cheruvu, the CSR agency could only attract development in the Shikham country and leave a private patt Land,” said Mr. Ranganath, expressing hope that the new TDR policy could be cleaned.
