# Telangana mulls land pooling law for infrastructure projects 2026-08-10T05:10:48+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Telangana government plans to introduce a land pooling policy for infrastructure projects, drawing from Andhra Pradesh's Amaravati model. A draft bill called the Telangana Comprehensive Area Development Planning Bill-2026 may be tabled in the monsoon session. Unlike Andhra's voluntary scheme without statutory backing, Telangana wants a law to avoid court disputes. Under Andhra's model, farmers get 250-400 sq yards of commercial plot and 1,000-1,250 sq yards residential plot per acre, plus annual lease of Rs 30,000 for dry land and Rs 50,000 for wet land. A committee of senior officials will finalise the proposed legislation. The policy aims to make landowners stakeholders in development projects including highways, ring roads, airport expansions and irrigation works. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: Andhra Pradesh model, Farmers, infrastructure, land pooling, legislation, Telangana Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/telangana-mulls-land-pooling-law-for-infrastructure-projects/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
