In 2021, BNB Land Consultancy was selected by Tata Advanced Systems to perform an essential due diligence and preliminary assessment for land required for a Defence Airport project in Vadodara. This high-priority assignment demanded a swift, yet thorough, multi-disciplinary analysis to provide the client with a clear understanding of the land’s suitability, associated risks, and the pathway forward for acquisition, all within a compressed timeframe.
Assignment Details:
The project was driven by clear, outcome-oriented objectives. The primary goal was to conduct a rapid yet comprehensive feasibility study to determine the viability of the identified land parcel for its intended defence purpose. A core focus was on collecting specific, on-ground data related to land cost, acquisition timelines, and potential risks to de-risk the client’s future investments and planning. The project also aimed to analyze key social and demographic factors of the landowners and the surrounding area to anticipate and mitigate socio-cultural challenges. Finally, the objective was to leverage GIS technology to create an integrated, digitized land record map and synthesize all research into a final, strategic report that provided a clear go/no-go recommendation and a roadmap for subsequent acquisition steps.
Project Objectives:
Our methodology was structured to deliver actionable intelligence rapidly. The engagement commenced with the delivery of an Interim Report synthesizing all readily available data. This was immediately followed by an intensive three-day on-site data collection effort in Vadodara by a dedicated team of three experts. Their mission was to gather critical intelligence directly from various stakeholders, focusing on precise land pricing, realistic timelines for acquisition, and a clear identification of potential risks. The assignment also encompassed the collection of high-level social data and landowner demographics, along with an analysis of peripheral parameters that could impact the project. Technically, the process involved advanced map digitization and the development of a comprehensive land database using ArcView GIS, integrating RoR information for spatial clarity. All findings and analyses were consolidated into a definitive Final Report for the client’s decision-making.
