• Starting from the year 1980 MMRDA developed Bandra Kurla
Complex reclaiming the marshland and channelizing the Mithiriver.• MMRDA paid Rs. 956 cr as occupancy price for a total land parcel
of 208 ha to the State Govt. over a period of time.• Initially many State and Central Govt. offices were housed in ‘E’
block
• Then the ‘G’ block was developed as an International Finance &Business Centre• MMRDA as SPA designated different land parcels for specific
development purposes and auctioned them• The higher bidder would get the 80 year long lease and would be
responsible for the development of the site and also the onsiteinfrastructure
Sale Proceeds from MMRDA’s land at BKC

Sale Proceeds from MMRDA’s land at BKC
• Revenues from land premium flowing into MMRDA’s budget arenow directed primarily to all major infrastructure projects
• Construction & Maintenance of roads, street lights, maintenanceof reservation, beautification within BKC is MMRDA’sresponsibility
• Municipal Corporation collects property tax of Rs. 95 crs annuallyand provides waste collection, water supply, sewage collectionand fire services.
• MMRDA is now exploring various other modalities of harnessingthe value of remaining 21 ha of commercial land at BKC
• It has also shifted its focus to a less developed area like Wadala
and is trying to emulate there the lessons learnt from BKCexperience
• MMRDA is also poised to identify and develop additional growthcenters on the lines of BKC with in MMR

Resource Generat ion throughPlanning Act ivity in SPA Areas
• MMRDA is SPA for Oshiwara District Centre within MCGM areasince 1992
• Here the Development plan is being implemented through landowners participation
• The lands are acquired by MMRDA for nominal compensation andare leased back to the owner for 60 years with additional 0.5 FSI
• The land owner is responsible for on site development and is free
to sell the building in open market.
• MMRDA gets premium at a fixed rate which is used for offsite
infrastructure like roads, drains etc.

vital part in infrastructure projects in Mumbai
• Amendment to MMRDA Act in 2003 by which MMRDA was given
all the power of Slum Rehabilitation Authority
• Clause 3.11, Appendix IV to DCR 33(10) provides for SR Scheme
for PAPs of vital projects, sitting on public land.
• Land owner gets TDR equivalent to existing FSI for surrendering
the land
• Developer gets construction TDR at 1:1.33 in lieu of construction
of tenements

Acquiring land at Versova
for Metro Car Depot
• Land admeasuring 13.80 ha. costing about Rs. 900 cr wasacquired for Metro Car Depot without going for Land Acquisitionprocess and without giving any monetary compensation
• Original reservation modified to “ Car depot/Allied Activities andcommercial use” u/s. 37(1) of MRTP Act
• Existing policy of accommodation reservation could not be madefully applicable for this reservation
• Hence directives u/s 154 of MRTP Act by State Govt. to modifyDCR 9 table 4 to suit the requirement which was subsequentlymodified

Acquiring land at Versova
for Metro Car Depot
• Accordingly the land owners to handover minimum 75% of theland to MMRDA, free of cost and free of encumbrances and toretain 25% of land for development
• The owner can use 75% of permissible FSI of gross plot area onhis share of land and vice versa
• The owner can also load additional TDR on his share of landtaking into account the entire plot area with prior approval.
• By effectively using DCR as a tool MMRDA could get 9.3 Ha ofland free of cost for Car Depot at a crucial location.

Strengths of Various Models
Model Purpose and
Suitability
Risks and Ease of executing
Direct Saleof land(Bandra-
KurlaComplex)
Get Upfront Cash forInfrastructureDevelopment
No Risk . Easy to Operate. However, timing isimportant. Taxation and issues of carryinghuge cash; Danger of resources being
diverted. Location limitations. With reducingasset base there is need to build new assets.
Selling FSIafterAcquiring
NotionalOwnership(Oshiwara)
SPA can develop thearea as per requirementoptimally through
IncentivizedDevelopment.
Low Risk but Complex procedure. Timeconsuming . Case by case approvals. Ownerswary of loosing rights. Moderate success.
These days courts question charging premiumon additional FSI. This difficulty is taken careof through Notional Ownership. Good Model.
Incentives of
ExtraFSI/TDRsthroughDCRs
Creating infrastructure,
especially housing fordisadvantaged class orfor acquiring strategicspaces, rehabilitation ofPAPs etc.
Could be very popular but fairly risky. Would
require considerable investments in onsite andoffsite infrastructure. A thorough and priorappraisal of locations, requirements etc.required. Requires monitoring, inspections andsupervision for targets and quality; Requires
close supervision over deliverables, quality .

Model Purpose and Suitability Risks and Ease of executing
TraditionalGrowth Centre
model
May be used fordevelopment of new areas
especially aroundtransport corridors andother strategic andregional infrastructure .
In the long term, some resources canbe raised by selling lands, FSI and
capturing value etc. These aremoderately risky and requireconsiderable planning and predictablestream of investments. Long term viewand some predictability required.
Having recently carried outComprehensive Transport Studies anda Business Plan for the entire MMR,the MMRDA is in a position to set upgrowth centers.
Use of SimpleDevelopmentCharges/Fees
Get funds for developingnew infrastructure
Easy to operate and implement. AllPlanning Authorities do this. Limitations,as this has a relationship withinfrastructure development costs.
Does not capture part of additionalvalue.
Strengths of Various Models

Model Purpose and Suitability Risks and Ease of executing
Embedding in PPPprojects withinfrastructure
development
Moderate Reduction in VGFrequirement in PPP projects,where VGF is necessary to
make the project viable.
Complex and difficult to know thevalue released. Infrastructuredevelopment with commercial use
of land requires clarity inConcession Agreement and goodmonitoring by IndependentEngineer. With increasing size ofland component, computation and
project valuation becomesdifficult.
Use of BettermentLevies
(Capture a part ofthe value added tothe land/property)
For capturing the increase inthe value due to new
infrastructure project , say forrepayment of debt
Arrangements for levy and chargecould be complex . Although the
MMRDA Act provides for this levythis has not so far been used.MMRDA has proposed levyingthis charge in the areas that willbe benefited by MTHL

Model Purpose and Suitability Risks and Ease of executing
PPP modelthat allowsReal Estate
Developmentwith thegovernmentland.MMRDA has
recentlycarried outsome studieson this with aview to lend
sustainabilityto itsresources.
This model is increasinglybecoming popular with thegovernments and sub-
national entities. This isused for redevelopment ofthe existing assets, buildingsor lands and look for anumber of financial rewards/
outcomes such as income-sharing, asset sharing, or acombination of both alongwith receiving some upfrontpayments.
This could be a very attractive way ofraising resources both revenue andcapital receipts. As indicated, there could
be special arrangements which can besuited to requirements through anappropriate concession agreement.
But, this arrangement could be risky,
There could be legal risks as alsosubstantial market risks. Moreoverhandling real estate issues requiresdifferent and complex competencies.The nature of the government
functioning may not permit a quick andappropriate response to the markets.This can be done on a moderate scaleafter mitigating these risks.

EMERGENT ISSUES
• BKC land is scarce and self limiting as a source of revenue
• Need to identify potential Growth Centers and reserve them in RP/DP
• Need to identify and acquire Govt. lands for this purpose
• Need to regulate development along side upcoming
infrastructure project by making effective use of planningprocess
– Multimodal corridor
• Need to capture the land value gains attributed to a majorinfrastructure project
– Impact fees (with reference to MTHL)
– Circle of influence around a Metro Station
8/3/2019 Unlocking Urban Land Value
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/unlocking-urban-land-value 26/30
• Need to channelize land value gains captured by different waysin a dedicated fund for infrastructure development
– Mumbai Development Fund
• Need to understand implication of selling higher FSI rights togenerate resources and take appropriate measures to rationalizethe system
• Need to achieve better co-ordination among various civic bodiesin order to check misuse of incentives given to developers and toharness the full value of Govt. resources.
EMERGENT ISSUES
8/3/2019 Unlocking Urban Land Value
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/unlocking-urban-land-value 27/30
• For various reasons sale of land/grant of extra FSI is a sensitiveissue and has to be taken up within an acceptable Institutional andPolicy Framework
• Excessive use of FSI or land can distort the development in an areaand can also create huge liabilities for future by way of greaterdemand for urban infrastructure
• Objectives underlying the sale of land/FSI have, therefore, to beclear and need to be dictated by imperatives of proper/desirabledevelopment and by need for resources for infrastructure
development. This needs a realistic and perspective assessment ofvarious infrastructure needs in the region over a reasonable horizon
• Given the large and rising urban conglomerates and hierarchy ofvarious local bodies, institutions and governments in the region the
task of designing appropriate Institutional Framework is verychallenging
• There is need to create in this framework mechanism/ dedicatedfund for pooling all land value gains and directing them to proper
utilization for creating necessary infrastructure
EMERGENT ISSUES
8/3/2019 Unlocking Urban Land Value
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/unlocking-urban-land-value 28/30
Institut ional Framework for MMRDA
• MMRDA has fairly sturdy institutional framework to realize high
land values from various models
• MMRDA Act gives mandate to MMRDA to develop Regional
Infrastructure in the entire MMR
• ULBs in MMR and their functionaries are adequately represented in
the Authority
• It has an envious track record of development Finance Assistancethrough soft loans to ULBs (Rs.3000 crores)
• MMRDA Act provides for levying betterment charges where the
value of land/ asset has increased due to a infrastructuredevelopment project
• MRTP Act allows Special Planning Authority (SPA) to levy and
collect Development Fee/Charges from developers/ institutions
8/3/2019 Unlocking Urban Land Value
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/unlocking-urban-land-value 29/30
• MMRDA has been functioning as monitoring and co-coordinatingbody for Regional Planning and Infrastructure Development
• In view of its performance, lean and lithe structure, experience of
handling innovative projects with new structures and speed ofexecution it has emerged as a lead organization for co-coordinatinginfrastructure development
• More importantly MMRDA has successfully concluded two majorand ambitious studies Viz. “Comprehensive Transport Studies forMMR” and “Business Plan for MMR”, which address the issues ofInfrastructure Provision adequately
• MMRDA is, therefore, in a strategic position to make optimal use ofland value from different models for infrastructure development
