The Himachal Pradesh govt has introduced Baddi-Barotiwala-Nalagarh Development Authority (BBNDA) Land Pooling Policy-2025 to promote organised and sustainable development in Baddi-Barotiwala-Nalagarh (BBN) area of Solan district.
The policy focus will be on transforming unorganized land arrangements into systematically planned layouts with active participation from landowners, ensuring better urban planning and infrastructure development without compulsory land acquisition.
This policy will allow land to be pooled and developed with the cooperation of landowners, facilitating the provision of essential services and planned layouts in the area. BBNDA will take the lead in development projects across residential, commercial, institutional, mixed-use and infrastructure sectors in urbanisable areas covered under approved development plans.
The chief minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhusaid the BBNDA will identify land for projects or invite voluntary participation from landowners through public advertisements. Landowners can apply directly or through aggregators, submitting details of their land online or offline within a specified period of at least 60 days, extendable by the BBNDA.
Applications will be scrutinised within 30 days, and necessary approvals will be sought for project implementation. Once approved, the layout plan for the project will be published within two months, and landowners offering land will be allotted plots proportionate to the saleable area as per the approved plan. Landowners will then execute a sale deed and hand over possession of the land to the BBNDA.
