Therefore, a portion of land measuring around 100 acres is vacant for other use. The auction will be done in parts, the Haryana government will put 20 acres adjacent to Dwarka Expressway on the block, in the first round to test the market and will then plan the following auctions accordingly.

According to Manoj Pal Singh, additional general manager, HSIIDC and head of the Global City project at HSIIDC, the land comes under mixed-use development and is also applicable for benefits under the transit-oriented development (TOD) policy.

Since it just adjoining the expressway, which is being developed as a national highway, the government hopes the auction will fetch it a good price.

If it is anything less than that, the corporation would not make any considerable margins. The auction will also bring some relief for the corporation, which has been facing financial problems lately.

Talking about the expected price Manoj Pal Singh said, “As of now, we don’t have any idea because different reports are projecting different prices. It is because of this reason that we have kept the reserve price open for the auction.”
