The Gujarat government has announced a significant policy change, deciding to compensate farmers at twice the prevailing market rate for land acquired for power transmission line projects.
In a move aimed at benefiting agricultural landowners, the Gujarat government has resolved to provide compensation at double the market value for land utilized for the construction of power transmission lines. This decision is expected to significantly enhance the financial returns for farmers whose land is acquired for such infrastructure projects.
The state administration has also committed to providing 100% compensation, ensuring that farmers receive the full extent of the determined value for their land. This policy aims to address concerns regarding land acquisition and provide a more equitable compensation framework for the affected farming community.
This initiative by the Gujarat government underscores a focus on supporting the agricultural sector while facilitating the development of essential power infrastructure across the state.
