Recent Scheme: Land Pooling and Area Development Scheme – 2025
The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) has recently launched the Land Pooling and Area Development Scheme (LPADS) – 2025, a forward-looking initiative designed to promote organized and sustainable urban expansion in the Hyderabad Metropolitan Region. This scheme aims to transform suburban and peri-urban areas into well-planned residential layouts equipped with modern civic infrastructure and public amenities.
Under this model, landowners voluntarily contribute their land to HMDA for development. After developing roads, parks, drainage, and utilities, HMDA returns about 60% of the developed land to the original owners, ensuring fair compensation and shared growth benefits. The remaining land is used for public infrastructure, affordable housing, and community services.
The scheme covers nearly 500 acres in areas like Thimmaiguda, Kurmalguda, Qutubullapur, and Korremula, identified as growth corridors of Hyderabad. By adopting a transparent and participatory approach, HMDA ensures that the project benefits both landowners and the city’s growing population through improved housing opportunities and sustainable infrastructure.
Key Highlights of the Scheme
