The Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board announced it will revoke industrial plot allocations where developers have not cleared required payments.
The Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) issued a notice stating that any industrial plot allotments pending full payment will be cancelled. The board said that several developers have repeatedly delayed the instalment schedule stipulated in their agreements, prompting the corrective action.
KIADB officials indicated that the cancellations will be effected after a final grace period of 30 days, during which developers can settle outstanding dues. Failure to comply will result in the forfeiture of the allotted land and possible legal action to recover any accrued interest.
The move is part of KIADB's broader effort to accelerate the state's industrial growth by ensuring that allocated plots are utilized promptly. State officials have expressed support for the board's decision, emphasizing that timely payment is essential for infrastructure development and job creation.
Industry observers note that while the policy may cause short‑term setbacks for some investors, it reinforces a disciplined approach to land allocation and could improve confidence among serious developers looking to set up operations in Karnataka.
