The Maharashtra town Planning Authority, City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO), has begun geotagging of plots in Navi Mumbai as part of its various sales plans.

This decision will help buyers, and also a step towards the efficient digitization of land records in the scattered southeastern suburbs of India’s commercial capital. Thus, Navi Mumbai became one of the first major cities in the country to begin the process of digitizing cadastral registers, given the uncertainty of ownership and property rights. Most of the lands in India are the subject of legal disputes and might take a century for courts to resolve these cases.

Sanjay Mukherjee, VC & MD, CIDCO, said. “Land parcels geotagging helps to create a transparent mechanism and provide applicants with accurate location information and other related factors”. “By having the correct links to the database, which will be updated real-time. Also the potential for inaccuracies and deceptive information can be avoided.”

Eliminates Unauthorized Construction–

According to a report by McKinsey India, developers are also having trouble obtaining financial assistance. As they cannot offer land without a clear title as collateral for loans. Therefore, most new housing units are built on land already owned by developers or an insider who knows how to speed up the bureaucratic process of verifying ownership.

Ashok Chhajer, CMD, Arihant Superstructures said. “Land Geotagging helps in resolving several problems, including illegal construction on land, which can be tracked and stopped even before completion.” ‘Even the Panvel municipal corporation started working on it, using drones and making a map of the land parcels. It will also attract more investment from various financial institutions, including global organizations as well.”

Optimization of this process and revision of the law on land ownership should stimulate competition in construction. Competitive developers expected to increase their productivity and offer lower house prices. This also helps India’s stagnant construction market to expand significantly.

Payment Deadline Extended–

CIDCO regularly sold residential and used land under various schemes. These areas will be demarcated and fenced. Similarly, each plot will have a panel showing details such as plot area, number, node, and a barcode as well. The panel will help buyers know the exact location, boundaries, and area of the land they choose.

The Town Planning Authority sold land in accordance with the provisions of the Navi Mumbai Land Disposal (Amendment) Regulations 2008. In addition, CIDCO also decided to extend the payment deadline to three months for the first installment and 10 months for the second installment in worthy cases. This extension only applies to buyers in verified cases, together with late payment charges. 2008 Navi Mumbai Land Disposal (Amendment) Regulations have a clause to revoke the land transferred to the applicant if the tenderer is unable to pay the fee, even after renewal.

At a time when the real estate market is in the midst of the pandemic, Cidco’s offer could be a blessing for those seeking plots for bungalows, row houses, and major development over the next year. The planning agency is deciding to auction about 900 plots in a period of the next 12 months.

Plot auctioning is a profitable deal

Over one month the Cidco had earned nearly around Rs 1,100 crore from auction of residential plots. In February, it received a record rate of 2.63 lakh per square meter bid for a plot in Sanpada. The auction of residential plots in Navi Mumbai will help Cidco to raise significant funds. Thus assisting with its innovative and upcoming projects. Cidco aims to raise over Rs 400 crore in a month from the auctions of these plots. 

In January, Cidco auctioned 26 plots for bungalows and a 66 sq mt plot in Ghansoli. And this generated a huge profit for Cidco. This auction brought in as much as Rs 1.30 lakh per sq mt, while the normal price for plot in Ghansoli ranged from 30,00 to 34,813 rupees per sq mt. Likewise, a plot of approx. 208 sq mt in New Panvel (E) sold for Rs 1.09 lakh per sq mt. However the base price for a plot in New Panvel was Rs 39,000 per sq m. 

Cidco will now auction several plots in Navi Mumbai in the upcoming 12 months. During this period, approx. 1000 plots, of varying sizes from 40 sq mt to 4000 sq mt are expected to be offered. Of these, Cidco has reserved around 200 to 400 plots for Bungalows of varying areas from 30 to 400 sq mt. Officials from Cidco have said the largest plots ranging from 1,000 sq mt to 1 hectare are in demand by builders. 

Benefit of Cidco Plots-

The plot bidding of Cidco offers several benefits and is good for various reasons. Plots with MMR titles are very few and are rarely available, however plots listed in the Cidco auction have clear ownership and MMR titles. MMR titles provide information related to the plots like when the plot was acquired, registration date, etc. Apart from this, different infrastructure projects are about to launch in Navi Mumbai which enhances the connectivity of this locality. 

Sanjay Mukherjee, Cidco vice-chairman and managing director said. “Cidco about to bring out a large stock of small plots that need to be handed over to small real estate developers so, that they can enter the market in difficult times. Also, it is the best opportunity for a middle class to own a bungalow.”

Manohar Shroff, vice-president of MCHI-CREDAI Navi Mumbai unit, said. “The feedback of the auctions was good since Cidco has raised its ancillary FSI. Builders are pricing these plots high and offering larger homes. It is beneficial for CIDCO as well as builders.”
