Various tourism projects signed under Resurgent Rajasthan will soon be eligible for allotment of land by local bodies without any size limits. The urban development minister reportedly has consent over a proposal to permit local bodies for the purpose. 

The proposal is aimed towards improving upon state government’s score card on implementation of projects signed during the Resurgent Rajasthan in 2015. This industrial summit of Rajasthan government had 295 MoUs of expected investments worth Rs 3.2 lakh crore signed, of these 122 were from tourism sector including hotels, motels, wellness centers and resorts. 

However, out of the total 470 MoUs inked during and after the event, only 56 got implemented while most have remain pending till 2018. Most of the projects are pending at land development stage. Many investors seek usage conversion of their existing properties while many still await land allotment from government bodies. 

As per the land allotment rules, the land to be allotted to private institutes including tourism units is decided upon by an Urban Development Department Committee. In several cases tourism units seem to request for land in access, to the given parameters of allotment and thus government extends them a favour. The relaxation in the land allotment limit will, however, be limited for tourism projects signed during the Resurgent Rajasthan Sumit. 

The state government earlier this year included ‘tourism projects’ in list of ‘works of larger public interest’ and has also relaxed upon stamp duties. The recent proposal to relax land use limit will be the next step in this direction and the urban development department is expected to release orders after due clearances from state government.
