In a move to improve ease of doing business in the capital, the Delhi government is developing a centralized online portal to help investors identify available land parcels for industrial and infrastructure development, as reported by Business Standard.
The initiative was approved during a recent review meeting chaired by the Ministry of Home Affairs, focused on compliance reduction and deregulation across Union Territories, officials said.
The upcoming Delhi Land Bank Portal will be developed by the Delhi State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (DSIIDC), with technical support from Geospatial Delhi Limited (GSDL). The portal will include map-based data to help users visualize the locations of available land.
According to an official familiar with the project, the portal will act as a “centralized, online hub” to simplify the land identification process for potential investors.
The IT Division of DSIIDC has been tasked with building the platform. Meanwhile, the heads of DSIIDC’s Industrial Estate Management (IEM) and Relocation divisions have been directed to submit information on vacant land parcels by September 10.
Once submitted, the Engineering Division will verify the data to confirm the exact coordinates of each land parcel. This verified data will then be integrated into Delhi’s geospatial mapping system by GSDL, enabling interactive display on the portal.
Officials say the new portal will bring transparency and reduce bureaucratic hurdles often associated with land allotment, marking a significant step in encouraging investment in the capital.
The portal aligns with the Delhi government’s broader push to enhance business-friendly policies. Last month, it released a draft Delhi Industrial Policy for the next decade, inviting public feedback through July 30. The draft suggests creating new schemes in collaboration with the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) and industry bodies to consolidate land parcels and increase floor space in industrial zones.
