The following has been stated:
• The rules lay down a comprehensive framework for planning, approval, development, and regulation of large integrated township projects in the State. The Rules provide for the grant of a licence to developers for the development of integrated townships over a prescribed minimum land area, subject to land title verification, zoning conformity, and compliance with the master plan and development plan provisions.
• The rules prescribe norms relating to land use distribution, internal roads, water supply, drainage, sewerage, solid waste management, power supply, green spaces, and social infrastructure such as schools, hospitals, and community facilities. Provisions for affordable housing and reservations for economically weaker sections may also be mandated as per applicable state policy.
• Financial obligations include payment of development charges, external infrastructure charges, licence fees, and provision of bank guarantees to ensure timely completion of infrastructure. The developer is responsible for the execution of internal infrastructure and its maintenance for a specified period before handing it over to local authorities or resident associations.
• The rules also provide timelines for project completion, monitoring mechanisms, penalties for non-compliance, cancellation of the licence in case of violations, and conditions for transfer of project rights.
• Overall, the framework aims to promote planned urban expansion, ensure integrated infrastructure development, and attract private investment while safeguarding public interest and regulatory compliance.
