Gurgaon: Haryana govt has decided to procure 17,358 acres from 36 revenue villages in Gurgaon to carve out new, fully planned sectors with proper roads, utilities, public amenities and green buffers. The digital procurement drive will be carried out by HSVP, and could well become the biggest such exercise for the city once completed. The push is part of a wider statewide target of 1.7 lakh acres, aimed at creating new residential sectors, commercial districts and institutional zones for the next cycle of urban expansion. The state govt has shifted the process to a single online route — e-Bhoomi portal (ehboomi.jamabandi.nic.in) — making it the official entry point for villagers to voluntarily offer land. On Friday, the govt, through HSVP, notified the schedule.The govt has also drawn a clear line between land acquisition and procurement. Acquisition is a compulsory process where the govt takes land under law and compensation is determined through statutory awards — often leading to objections and litigation. Procurement, as designed here, is a voluntary, agreement-based purchase where landowners choose to participate and the transaction is concluded through consent and documentation. For landowners, the next step is to check whether their village is notified and, if so, submit land details on e-Bhoomi within the prescribed window for verification and further processing.The rollout will be phased. In the first stage, around 40,000 acres have been earmarked for procurement in 13 cities through direct agreements with landowners. Gurgaon is at the centre of this opening push.Here, the notified villages are Kherki Daula, Kadipur, Sihi, Harsuru, Basai, Gadoli, Gadoli Kala, Gadoli Khurd, Behrampur, Ullawas, Kadarpur, Badshahpur, Tikli, Palra, Kharki, Naurangpur, Medawas, Sikandarpur Bada, Lakhnaula, Hayatpur, Nawada, Fatehpur, Wazirpur, Kankrola, Mewka, Dhankot, Kherki, Majra, Daultabad, Dhanwapur, Mohamadpur Hedi, Tikampur, Babupur, Pawala, Khushrupur and Dorka.Officials said the govt has come out with a precise procurement map of villages, which will allow landowners to immediately check whether their holdings fall within the notified geography.If HSVP succeeds in assembling this land, it would outstrip the scale of its past development in Gurgaon. So far, HSVP has developed 52 sectors in the city — 44 residential, 6 industrial and 2 institutional — and developed and sold 49,950 plots in total. The earlier expansion was built on 16,694 acres acquired for the city.Faridabad is the other major focus, with about 4,500 acres proposed across 19 villages — Kedi Kala, Nachauli, Tajpur, Dekola, Shahabad, Tajapur, Badarpur Said, Sahpura, Sotai, Sanped, Malerna, Jajru, Bhaisarawali, Faturpur, Bhuwapur, Jasana, Faridpur, Sadpura and Tigao.“The upfront naming of villages signals that procurement will be bounded and planned, not open-ended,” an official said.HSVP’s existing footprint in Faridabad includes 49 sectors — 35 residential, 4 commercial, 8 industrial and 2 institutional.So, what happens next? Plot owners in notified villages have been given two months to upload land details for verification. The bhoomi portal is designed to accept voluntary offers, followed by verification of land category and documentation.Officials said procurement will be consent-based and concluded at mutually agreed rates so that there are no disputes and HSVP is able to assemble contiguous parcels needed for sector planning.The window to submit land details for the scheme will remain open till April 30. After this, officials will conduct verifications, finalise agreements and initiate development on them.
