Gujarat Introduces New Cross-City TDR Policy
Imagine cities having special building permits called TDRs.
Usually, you can only use these in your own city.
But now, Gujarat is creating a new rule where you can use TDRs from one city in another!
This means if you have some land in one city, you can sell the right to build on it to a developer in another city, even if the cities are far apart.
This helps with things like building new homes in cities and fixing up old areas.
The government hopes this will speed up building projects and make cities better places to live by reusing old buildings and underused spaces.
Gujarat's state government is introducing a new policy for Transferable Development Rights (TDR).
The policy allows for the cross-city transfer of development rights between major cities like Ahmedabad and Surat.
This creates a regional development rights market, a first for Gujarat.
The policy aims to address urban challenges such as housing through slum redevelopment and repurposing unused land.
City-specific committees will oversee approvals and policy execution.
