Hyderabad: The Telangana government has operationalised the Hyderabad Industrial Lands Transformation Policy (HILTP), allowing the conversion of industrial land within and near the Outer Ring Road (ORR) to ‘multi-use zones.’
The policy aims to reduce pollution in the state capital and protect it from environmental crisis by shifting polluting industries out of the city.
An online portal was also launched on May 23 to allow eligible industrial unit holders to submit, monitor, and track their applications online.
TGIIC nodal agency for policy
In an order issued on May 22, the government authorised the Telangana Industrial Infrastructure Corporation Limited (TGIIC) as the nodal agency for implementing the policy.
As per the guidelines furnished by the TGIIC, ‘industrial park’ refers to the 21 industrial parks and standalone units within the Core Urban Region (CURE) of Hyderabad.
This includes industrial zones like Nacharam, Mallapur, Cherlapally, Moula Ali, Uppal, Sanathnagar, Medchal, Kushaiguda, Patancheru, Hayathnagar, Kukatpally, Jeedimetla, Balanagar, Gandhinagar, Pashamylaram, Ramachandrapuram, Chandulalabaradari and Katedan.
The processing fee for the conversion of land has been designated as follows:
| Area Range | Fee Amount (Rs.) |
|---|---|
| Upto Ac. 1.00 | Rs. 20,000/- |
| Above Ac. 1.00 and up to Ac. 5.00 | Rs. 50,000/- |
| Above Ac. 5.00 and up to Ac. 10.00 | Rs. 1,00,000/- |
| Above Ac. 10.00 and up to Ac. 25.00 | Rs. 2,00,000/- |
| Above Ac. 25.00 and up to Ac. 50.00 | Rs. 5,00,000/- |
| Above Acs. 50.00 | Rs. 10,00,000/- |
