MPD-2047 notified 20 Aug 2026 · Sector 8B first to go live

Pool your farmland. Get 60% back as a planned city.

Delhi's Land Pooling Policy lets landowners in the urban extension hand their fields to a common plan. DDA lays roads, parks and services on 40%. The owners' consortium keeps 60% as developable land. This guide explains how it works and where it stands today.

The 60 : 40 rule

Every hectare pooled is divided the same way.

The 2018 policy replaced the older two-category scheme with one uniform split, so a small farmer and a large landholder get the same proportion back.

Consortium 60%DDA 40%
53%

Gross residential. Group housing and plots, including a share for economically weaker sections.

5%

City-level commercial. Shops, offices and mixed use for the consortium to build or sell.

2%

City-level public and semi-public. Schools, clinics and similar facilities.

40%

Retained by DDA and service agencies for arterial roads, water, power, drainage, green areas and city facilities.

What would your land come back as?

Enter the area you own in a land pooling village. The figures use the policy's standard split and a residential FAR of 200, the norm carried into MPD-2047 for pooled sectors.

Indicative only. Actual entitlement depends on verification by the Revenue Department, the approved sector layout, contiguity, and charges such as EDC that DDA has yet to finalise.

How it works

From a registered khasra to a buildable plot

Participation is voluntary in the assembly route. Nothing is surrendered when you register; land moves only once a sector has enough willing owners and a consortium is formed.

Step 1

Register willingness

Owners of any size of holding in a notified village file an online application on DDA's land pooling portal with their khasra details.

Step 2

Verification

The Revenue Department, GNCTD verifies ownership. DDA maps pooled khasras sector by sector and publishes participation tables.

Step 3

70% contiguity

When about 70% of a sector's land is pooled and contiguous, DDA issues a provisional notice inviting owners to form a consortium.

Step 4

Form the consortium

Constituent owners, with or without a developer, register a single consortium on the portal and sign the agreement and implementation plan.

Step 5

Sector plan & land use

DDA approves change of land use and publishes a 60:40 Sector Land Distribution Plan and layout, reconstituting parcels into plots.

Step 6

Infrastructure, then building

DDA and service agencies build arterial roads and trunk services on the 40%. The consortium develops its 60% under RERA and building rules.

Where it applies

Six zones on Delhi's rural edge

The policy covers the urbanisable parts of 105 revenue villages, divided into 138 sectors. A village can sit inside a zone yet have parts outside the pooling area, so check your khasra against DDA's sector maps.

What changed in MPD-2047

A smaller unit, a road network first, and a new route

The Master Plan for Delhi 2047, notified by the Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry on 20 August 2026, keeps land pooling at the centre of greenfield growth and changes how it can be carried out.

20 ha

Minimum scheme size

Planning schemes can start on about 50 acres instead of waiting for a whole 100–200 ha sector to assemble.

TPS

Town Planning Schemes

A second implementation model alongside voluntary assembly, aimed at fixing gaps left by non-participating parcels.

FAR 200

Density in pooled sectors

Lower than the 400 once proposed. Up to FAR 400 is allowed in a 250 m corridor on each side of UER-II.

600 km

Roads before buildings

An infrastructure-first approach: roads with 30 m or wider right of way are planned across the pooling area.

12 lakh

Homes envisaged

DDA's estimate for new dwelling units across the roughly 200 sq km pooling area.

HDC

High-Density Corridor

Compact mixed use along UER-II for affordable housing, logistics, warehousing and jobs.

Status · November 2026

Where implementation stands

16 sectors have crossed the 70% threshold and received provisional consortium notices. Owners in eight more sectors have told DDA they are forming consortiums. One sector is ready to build.

First implementation-ready sector

Sector 8B, Zone P-II

The first sector to reach 70% contiguous pooled land. A consortium was registered in February 2023, and DDA approved change of land use in November 2025.

Timeline

Thirteen years from draft to first sector

  1. DDA approves its first land pooling policy, with Category I (20 ha+) and Category II (2–20 ha) pooling.

  2. Urban Development Ministry notifies operational guidelines.

  3. Delhi Government declares 89 villages urban and 95 as DDA development areas, unlocking the policy.

  4. Revised policy notified on 11 Oct with a uniform 60:40 split and FAR 200; regulations follow on 24 Oct.

  5. Online registration portal launched for landowners.

  6. First provisional consortium notices for Sector 10A (Zone N) and Sectors 2 and 3 (Zone P-II).

  7. Consortium registered for Sector 8B, Zone P-II.

  8. DDA approves change of land use for 40.23 ha in Sector 8B.

  9. Registration window for 105 villages extended to 28 Feb 2026.

  10. MPD-2047 notified, adding 20 ha schemes, Town Planning Schemes and the UER-II corridor.

  11. Month-long DDA outreach camps in villages including Bakkarwala, Tigipur, Sultanpur Dabas, Chhawla, Saranpur, Neb Sarai, Khera Kalan and Mukhmelpur.

Be careful with "land pooling" flats and plots

DDA and Delhi Police's Economic Offences Wing have publicly warned against societies, companies and developers selling flats or plots in the name of DDA's Land Pooling Policy before approvals exist. Many buyers lost money this way after the policy was first announced.

  • DDA does not sell units in pooled sectors. It approves plans and builds trunk infrastructure.
  • No project can be sold before the consortium's land is reconstituted, plans are sanctioned and the project is registered with RERA.
  • Verify any sector claim against DDA's own notices and sector-wise maps.

Questions landowners ask

FAQ

Is there a minimum land size to participate?

No. Under the current regulations, owners with any size of holding can register. The 20 ha minimum in MPD-2047 applies to a planning scheme, which is put together by a group of owners or a consortium.

Do I hand over my land when I register?

No. Registration records your willingness. Land is reconstituted only after a sector reaches the threshold, a consortium is formed and DDA approves the sector plan.

Will I get my own field back?

Not necessarily the same piece. The sector is replanned and parcels are reconstituted. Returned land is allotted within the sector plan in proportion to what you pooled.

What is a consortium?

A single registered entity formed by the landowners of a sector, sometimes with a developer, that applies to DDA, signs the implementation agreement and develops the 60% share. It is treated as a promoter under RERA.

What if my neighbours don't join?

That has been the main obstacle. MPD-2047 introduces Town Planning Schemes, under which press reports say participation becomes binding once DDA notifies an area, along with smaller 20 ha schemes that need less contiguous land.

Are there charges?

Yes. Consortiums pay External Development Charges for trunk infrastructure. DDA has appointed consultants for infrastructure design across the sectors and will fix EDC based on their work. Stamp duty relief on exchange deeds during reconstitution has also been proposed.

How do I check if my khasra is in a pooling sector?

Use DDA's sector-wise maps for each zone and the reference maps on its land pooling pages. Participation tables per sector are also published and updated periodically.
