Abstract

Subject Land acquisition in India. Significance As of October 2016, nearly 5,600 industrial and infrastructure projects worth over 178 billion dollars were stalled due to land acquisition problems, according to a recent report. Moreover, litigation has exploded and a quarter of India’s districts now face land disputes. This suggests that the 2013 Land Acquisition Act, far from easing tensions over the acquisition of land for infrastructure and industrial purposes, has exacerbated them. Impacts Solutions for tribal opposition to land acquisition by miners are not in the offing. Strategies for resolving land disputes are likely to emerge at the city municipal level. Partnership with land leasers in urban areas will prove an effective foil for land disputes.
