Bengaluru's civic authorities will make the Transferable Development Rights process completely digital to speed up infrastructure projects.

TDR lets owners who surrender land for public purposes such as road widening receive development rights that can be used or sold elsewhere.

Digitising the process is meant to cut delays in acquiring land for projects.

How the exam will ask it

ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್

  • Transferable Development Rights allow a landowner who surrenders land for public use to receive development rights that can be used or sold elsewhere.
  • TDR is an alternative to monetary compensation in land acquisition for projects such as road widening.
  • Digitising the TDR process is intended to reduce delays and improve transparency in acquiring land for infrastructure.

ಮೇನ್ಸ್

GS Paper I/II (urban development; KPSC: Urban development in Karnataka). Slow land acquisition delays urban infrastructure; TDR offers non-cash compensation, and moving the process online aims to cut delays and discretion. Way forward: transparent digital registries, a fair TDR market and timely issuance to build owner trust.
