Haryana Cabinet, which met under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Sh. Nayab Singh Saini here today approved the amendment to upgrade the potential zones of Pataudi-Haily Mandi and Farrukhnagar in district Gurugram from the Low Potential Zone to the Medium Potential Zone. Currently, Pataudi-Haily Mandi and Farrukhnagar are classified as 'Low Potential Zones' under ‘Schedule-IV’ of the Punjab Scheduled Roads Controlled Areas Restriction of Unregulated Development Rules, 1965 (Rules of 1965).
These rules outline the rates of conversion charges in controlled areas based on the potential zone for the purpose of converting the use of land. With the amendment, the controlled areas within the Pataudi-Haily Mandi Development Plan and Farrukhnagar Development Plan will now be classified as Medium Potential Zones. This change will be reflected in Schedule-IV of the 1965 Rules and will apply to the applicable fees and charges under the Haryana Scheduled Roads and Controlled Areas Restriction of Unregulated Development Act, 1963.
The decision to upgrade these areas comes as they have shown significant potential for growth, including the development of colonies, institutions, industries, and warehouses. This upgradation will enhance the region's prospects for further development and generate greater revenue through increased conversion charges.
