With HMDA passing through a financial crisis,the authority is contemplating an auction of some blocks in JawaharNagar by dividing them into 200 to 300 square-yard plots which will be for the general public. Sources said the decision on auction of plots would be taken by the end of this month as HMDA awaits state government clearance.
The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA)s plan to turn Jawaharnagar into a development zone seems to be working with several companies and institutions queuing up for allotment of land in the area.Over half-a-dozen companies have sought land in Jawaharnagar but the state government is yet to take a final call on it.
Officials said that after AP Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC) allotted land in Madhapur and Gachibowli areas to companies,as part of its drive to promote industries,the state government started looking for other zones to be similarly developed.
Land allotments were made in eastern Hyderabad with companies like Infosys and Raheja setting up campuses near Pocharam.In Ibrahimpatnam mandal,land has been recently allotted to security forces.But since these areas are low on space,the companies are now looking for an address in Jawaharnagar.
HMDA has developed land in about 800 acres for both commercial and residential purposes after dividing the area into 13 blocks.The blocks were designed to range from 20 to 100 acres. Among entities seeking land is management school XLRI of Jamshedpur,which has asked for about 100 acres to set up a campus.Similarly,the National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research (NIPER) has sought another 100 acres for its requirements.Currently,NIPER is operating out of Indian Drugs and Pharmaceutical Limited (IDPL) in Balanagar.Singareni Collieries wants about 30 acres for setting up a training institute while some others like All India Management Schools Association have asked for 10 to 50 acres.
HMDA has received land allotment requests from about a dozen institutions and firms.They have been forwarded to the municipal administration and urban development (MA&UD ) department since decision in the matter is the state governments, HMDA member (Estate) P Krishna Mohan Reddy told STOI.
A few years ago,the state government had allotted nearly 2,300 acres to HMDA for resource mobilization wherein the urban body would develop land and auction it off to private companies.Of that initial pool of land,600 acres was allotted for BITS Pilani and other institutions.
Of the remaining 1700 acres,900 acres is either in litigation or has been encroached upon.Twentyfour cases are pending in AP High Court,Medchal and Saroornagar.Squatters were evicted from land for which there is no litigation.
