Overview

• The GDA board approved a 251-hectare industrial township with a multi-modal logistics park at Modinagar.
• Vice chairperson Atul Vats said a consultant will be hired shortly and work is likely to begin within six months, with the project potentially executed in a single phase.
• About 61.84 hectares at Modinagar are government land, with roughly 189.24 hectares to be secured from private owners through consent, acquisition, or negotiated development agreements.
• For the 521-hectare Harnandipuram Township, the board shifted from direct purchase to formal acquisition after procuring only 20–25 hectares in three months.
• Officials plan to acquire about 470 hectares across eight villages for Harnandipuram, estimating completion of notifications, hearings, compensation, awards, and resettlement within a year as residents press for market-rate, uniform payouts.
