The Haryana government has approved key changes to its land pooling policy, enabling large-scale urban expansion across approximately 1.67 lakh acres in the state. The revised framework, cleared in the past week, aims to address land availability constraints for public projects by adopting a participation-based model involving landowners. The first phase targets around 40,000 acres across 13 districts, including Gurugram, Faridabad and Panchkula. The policy allows landowners to pool land for integrated development, receiving a share of developed plots while the remaining land is utilised for infrastructure and urban sectors. The initiative is expected to facilitate planned development of residential, commercial, and industrial zones while improving infrastructure provisioning.

The decision was taken at a high-level inter-departmental meeting, addressing land availability constraints that have delayed several government-led urban development projects. Officials indicated that the revised framework will facilitate the creation of new residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial sectors across multiple growth corridors.
Under the updated policy, landowners can voluntarily pool their land parcels for integrated development. In return, they receive a proportion of fully developed land equipped with infrastructure such as roads, utilities, and public amenities, while the remaining portion is used for planned urbanisation.
The first phase of implementation has already commenced, with the state initiating acquisition of nearly 40,000 acres across 13 districts. These include key urban centres such as Gurugram, Faridabad, Panchkula, Hisar, Panipat and Yamunanagar, where demand for serviced land has been rising.
Officials stated that the expansion plan covers development of 69 sectors and urban estates, including new growth areas and extensions of existing urban clusters. Specific focus zones include sectors in Gurugram, the Pataudi–Farukhnagar belt, and expansion corridors near Chandigarh such as Pinjore-Kalka and Panchkula Extension.
The policy shift is intended to move away from traditional land acquisition methods towards a more collaborative model that reduces disputes and accelerates project timelines. By involving landowners as stakeholders, the government aims to ensure smoother land aggregation and faster implementation of infrastructure projects.
The proposed developments will include essential infrastructure such as water supply, sewerage networks, electricity, and road connectivity, alongside provisions for modern urban features. Revised planning norms mandate inclusion of facilities such as electric vehicle charging infrastructure, green belts, and public open spaces within each sector.
Authorities indicated that details regarding plot allotment mechanisms and project timelines will be finalised in subsequent phases, particularly in areas where private developments already exist.
The initiative is aligned with the state’s broader urbanisation strategy, which focuses on developing cluster-based cities and industrial model townships. By expanding planned urban areas, the government aims to reduce pressure on existing cities and improve availability of serviced land for housing and commercial development.
The policy is also expected to support employment generation and attract investment by enabling the creation of integrated urban ecosystems across key districts.
The approval of the revised land pooling framework marks a significant step in Haryana’s urban planning approach, with large-scale, participation-driven land aggregation expected to play a central role in future infrastructure and real estate development across the state.
