BNB Land Consultancy was entrusted by Angul Sukinda Railway Limited to manage the complete direct purchase of 11.35 acres of private land, which included complex endowment land parcels, for the ‘E’ Route of the new Angul-Sukinda rail line. Successfully executed between 2023 and 2024, this project required meticulous title verification, strategic stakeholder liaison, and strict adherence to regulatory protocols to ensure the seamless transfer of land for this vital public sector infrastructure project.
Assignment Details:
Our end-to-end assignment began with comprehensive groundwork, including the collection and digitization of maps, certified Records of Rights (RoR), and the superimposition of the rail alignment onto revenue sheets to prepare a verified land schedule. We facilitated the entire transactional process, from filing the initial requisition with the Special Land Acquisition Officer for price fixation and Collector approval, to actively liaising with landowners to secure their sale consent. A critical part of our role involved managing special cases, such as obtaining mandatory permissions from competent authorities for SC/ST-owned lands and securing necessary clearances for endowment land. The process culminated in on-site demarcation, title verification, obtaining encumbrance certificates, facilitating compensation payments, and finally overseeing the preparation of the sale deed, registration, mutation in favor of E. Co. Railway, and the physical handover of possession.
Project Objectives:
The core mission was to secure the specific 11.35-acre land parcel for the rail corridor through direct purchase, ensuring all transactions were legally sound and socially responsible. This involved conducting exhaustive due diligence on land records and titles, and obtaining all requisite administrative approvals, including those for specialized land types and from the Collector for price fixation. A fundamental objective was to foster transparent and cooperative relationships with all landowners to secure their consent and facilitate the smooth and timely disbursement of compensation. The ultimate goal was the flawless execution of the legal transfer of ownership and the successful physical possession of the land, enabling the unimpeded progress of the railway construction.
