MPD-2047 Land Pooling FAQs
A source-led explanation of notified Chapter 4.1, with clear boundaries around Regulations, schemes, transition and parcel approval.
Coverage and effect
Start with status, location and exclusions.
Has MPD-2047 come into force?
Yes. S.O. 4597(E) states that MPD-2047 takes effect from Gazette publication on 20 August 2026.
Where does the Land Pooling chapter apply?
Planning Zones K-I, L, N, P-II, part of J and the unacquired part of P-I, where land is notified as Development Area and is not excluded.
Which lands are excluded?
Identified unauthorised colonies; Lal Dora and notified extended Lal Dora; certain approved government projects; notified forests, Regional Parks, drains, water bodies and wetlands; government land/schemes; heritage sites; and notified non-conforming industrial or godown clusters.
Does notification itself convert or approve a parcel?
No. Exact eligibility, exclusions, scheme, road and infrastructure position, charges and statutory approvals must still be established.
Participation and schemes
How the notified architecture works.
Which development models are notified?
Assembly by a group of landowners, DDA-identified Town Planning Schemes, and any other model stipulated in Regulations.
What is the minimum assembly size?
The minimum scheme area is not less than 20 hectares for development through landowner assembly. The 60:40 table addresses contiguous assemblies of more than 20 hectares.
Can a landowner with a small holding participate?
Yes, an owner with any size of otherwise eligible parcel may register and participate as prescribed. This is not a stand-alone scheme or return-plot entitlement.
What role does DDA have?
DDA is the main anchor for scheme preparation and development of roads, parks, utilities, services, social infrastructure and social housing.
Does the earlier 70% consortium threshold appear in Chapter 4.1?
No. It is not stated as a prerequisite of the new chapter. Existing registrations, sectors and consortiums require formal transition and implementation directions from DDA.
Development controls
FAR and 60:40 are scheme-level rules.
What FAR is notified?
FAR 200 for each plot within an approved scheme.
How is the 60:40 model distributed?
Maximum 60% landowner share: 53% gross residential, 5% commercial and 2% PSP. Minimum 40% DDA share: 5% commercial and 35% for services, recreation, PSP, roads/circulation and saleable component.
Does 60% guarantee a specific return plot?
No. It does not guarantee location, frontage, use, timing, title configuration, value, apartment count or approval.
Who bears development cost?
Development cost is to be calculated for the scheme and recovered as Development Charges from landowners, along with other applicable charges.
