The Haryana cabinet has given its approval to the Land Pooling Policy 2026, aimed at streamlining land acquisition for development projects in the state.
New Delhi — The Haryana cabinet has formally approved the Land Pooling Policy 2026, a framework designed to facilitate the pooling of agricultural land for infrastructure and urban development. The policy seeks to replace traditional land acquisition methods with a voluntary pooling mechanism, allowing landowners to retain a share of the developed land while contributing to public projects.
State officials said the new scheme will provide clearer guidelines for compensation, revenue sharing, and timelines, thereby reducing disputes and delays that have historically hampered large‑scale projects. By encouraging private participation and ensuring fair returns for landowners, the government aims to accelerate the creation of roads, industrial zones, and housing clusters.
The cabinet's decision reflects Haryana's broader push to modernise land management and attract investment ahead of upcoming fiscal plans. Implementation details will be circulated to district authorities in the coming weeks, with pilot projects expected to commence shortly.
Stakeholders, including farmer associations and real‑estate developers, have been invited to provide feedback during the rollout phase to fine‑tune the policy's operational aspects.
